Happy Turkey Day to all my friends and enemies at Snarkpit.

Have a great day guys.

thank you sir... and a safe and happy thanksgiving to you and yours as well.... :wink:

and the same to all my american cohorts the world over.....

inlaws are coming up.....***searches for escape route... :heee:

Dr Brasso... :dodgy:

que?

It's Thanksgiving in the USA pepper, a traditional celebration of
family and something to do with the founding of the nation, stuff like
that.

It's a good excuse to eat turkey and lots of cranberry sauce, and probably get drunk as well!

( i think this is what Orph means anyway :razz: )

yuppers, all of the above :heee:

No fair, it's like you get a pre-christmas. Anyway, enjoy yourselves and err... don't drink too much... umm... egg nogg? :heee:

You missed it by like a month orph :razz:

i always called it "Turkey Day" .. "Thanksgiving" has to much religious connotations IMO.. if nothing else it sounds biblish.

anywho's, i always thought that the holiday situation in the states were a bit off.. turkey day and xmas are to close, and have essentially the same meal plans for dinners.. why not move turkey day to june?

i don't drink often, and i don't usually do it with kinfolk around, as most of my wifes side is red necks and tempers usually increase with the level of consumption.

i am sure about looks at watch now.. guests will begin to arrive at most of the american homes, so post counts may drop off a bit :biggrin:

enjoy people, i know i will.

Damnit you posted a Thanksgiving thread before me. Gah! This is a day for Americans to stuff their fat faces even more and celebrate the raping of the indians land. Happy Broken Treaty Day.

Doesn't Bush get to pick one turkey which will be kept alive? It's freaking stupid, I know.

I think he already did. He donated it to some zoo, i think. Or was that last year?

yeah, that was in the news here in holland, although i cant see any news in it, we dont even celebrate thanks giving.

Oh... so I wasn't suppose to eat that turkey?!

Jezpuh.......your avatar is somewhat destracting when lookin at a thread....lol yea happy dead turkey day!

Well, hope everyone here (who celebrates it) has a great Thanksgiving! :smile:

The fact that Quakers made up the holiday might not have anything to do with that. :biggrin:

I love thanksgiving, personally. Good food.

f**k cranberry sauce by the way.

(My mom made REAL apple pie too, oh man. Real apples. Amongst other things ... drools)

Warm apple pie.... lol.

I'm actually not a fan of apple pie, not a big pastry fan.

There is nothing on earth better than apple pie!

must resist, must. this is so rife with possibilities.

Orpheus, what you and your wife do and have done should never be divulged to these young ears.

Can you imagine the complaints? :razz:

actually, my thinking was more along the lines of "Spoken like a true virgin"

my own experiences didn't cross my mind.
read that sentence i wrote, with "virgin" in mind, and then you'll understand :biggrin:

i don't know what to say.... i genuinely laughed out loud.

im not even going to add to the "pie discussion"

i had thanksgiving yesterday, my PhD-having brother is in town. i
personally like pecan pie. last thanksgiving i was a strict vegetarian,
so i had tofurkey... worst thanksgiving ever. not eating turkey made
the holiday seem incomplete. but this thanksgiving i had huge amounts
of everything! my mom makes this cranberry jello with mandarin oranges
and pecans, and then there was stuffing and turkey and yams and mashed potatoes
and gravy and green beans and rolls... a friend brought over cranberry
bread... now leftovers! bitchin! too bad i probably put on 5 pounds in
one night...

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Maybe if HL2 Gets DM we will have a new "Turkeyburgers" map for HL2 by next turkeyday! (for those who don't know, turkeyburgers is a map for HL1 where everything is supersized and you are the size of a rat. it's fun!)

Great Holiday=Comes off without a hitch.

My idea of a successful holiday, is one without any sort of a confrontation. Today came together almost flawlessly. Holidays are not food, holidays are family being forced under one roof. Most times siblings.

Adult siblings tend to act like time stood still, which is definitely not the case. The more siblings, the more chances of some sort of an issue arising.

As I said, If you can get through the day with all your good intentions intact it equals "WIN"

Today, was WIN. :smile:

Hey I had the same stuff too. That stuff is great! Try adding in some cherries and cherry juice in with it too. It makes it taste that much better. Anyways I'm pretty sure everyone had just about the same thing to eat yesterday so there isn't much use in asking what you all ate. Although usually different families make different desserts.

Apple pie, plum pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie... continues ranting

(No, I'm not comparing it to sex!)

or the discharge of body fluids too i assume :heee:
as i said though, holidays aint about food, its about cramming a s**tload of family under one roof. if you can retain most of your good intentions by days end, you have succeeded :biggrin:

Really? I find my GF's aunts/ uncles quite good company.

Chocolate chip cookies....

G.Balllbue... I have a question for you. I could PM this to you but I'm sure there are others here who wonder the same thing and there isn't a need for a new thread. WTF is with all the freakin cat people in japanese anime?!

Everyone says that. Which is the reason why I'm keeping it :biggrin:

I never see any other family besides my immediate family. Ever.

Spartan, most developers and directors use cats as a "metaphor" of sorts. Usually, if a normal cat is in anime, the director doesn't have to take care of it (The cat is always fine, unless it's a realistic anime). They use this as a metaphor for human characters, in the case of Ball's anime character, he's suppose to be incredibly resilient. By the way I hate that show probably because I hated Ranma.

The Massacre didn't happen yet. At this point in time all the (now Amish) did was give the Indians innumerable amounts of diseases.
