Is it Christmas already? Happy Thanksgiving, to those of you who are hopelessly USAsian. To everyone else, GET ON WITH YOUR WORK!
I never did get Thanksgiving anyway. A day to do nothing but eat a lot, an sit on one's butt watching football all day. Like that is somehow different from every other day? At least it's a day off work.
Leave it the Americans to come up with a holiday that gives you a four-day weekend in which to do nothing but consume leftovers. :grin:
I wish it were off over here. Bush should state that whichever country does not make Thanksgiving day a day off gets on the Axis of Evil list. Happy t-day and all that.
Heh. I just find it funny that we celebrate a day when Pilgrims invited Native Americans for a big meal, as opposed to what happened for the next three hundred years or so while they were taking over their land and killing off the majority of 'em.
I love thanksgiving. It gives the food and family of christmas, but without the stress of finding the perfect gift for you loved ones.
...and it's GOBBLE, not gooble! :grin: Nice turkey there DU, but personally, we just slaughter our geese for christmas.
Just what exactly are you giving thanks for? A good meal from several hundred years ago? "Damn, they had some GOOOOOD corn back then. Let's have a meal to celebrate!" "We screwed them over in the years after that...let's celebrate our ability to make good first impressions!" "We love to celebrate pointless events!" What's the deal boys?
How about "well, the people are going to slaughter us all if we don't give them a holiday, but at least we can stimulate the economy by having them buy massive amounts of food and obscure dishes to cook it in."
Wait, maybe this is why I hate this holiday. Working in a grocery store and busting my butt because of it has jaded me. Heh.
Ahh the great taste of whale beef. I have eaten whale beef but i do not care if they hunt whale or not. Whalebeef is dry i don't like it so much, but the sauce hmmmm. Also i'm tired of people thinking that norwegians are blodthirsty killers who love to kill whale and maim and murder. The viking age ended about 1000 years ago just because we raped your female ancestors and murderd the rest, it was about 1000 years ago. get over it. Norwegians ars not bloodthisrsty freaks, OKAY? stupid Anyway enough of this i know a few japanese tourists have arrived and is camping in the hotel so i'm of to hunt them down. *readies the tranqaliser darts some ropes and a weight*
