Happy Backstabbing Pilgrims Day!

[Cipher]

...aka, Thanksgiving. A holiday celebrating that cold winter day in which American Indians helped to prevent the starvation of a gaggle of cold Pilgrims. Said Native Americans would not receive their 'thanks' until years later with the abrupt theft of their lands in exchange for alcohol and casinos. Sucks to be them, eh?

Diatribe aside, here's my topic: What are your plans for tomorrow, and what are you most thankful for?

Me? I'm celebrating turkey day with a visit to the good folks of Boston Market, in which I will partake of their food and be thankful that I have survived my first semester of college with little to no psychological damage. Sucks to be away from home.

I'm going to enjoy eating turkey and pumpkin pie with my relatives. But even better, will be the turkey sandwiches made from leftover turkey.

I don't know, I'm not really into Thanksgiving. Nothing to do with the Pilgrims killing Native Americans or anything like that, I just never loved it. I'm not close to most of my family and I never liked turkey even before I was a vegetarian, so there's no food aspect in it for me either. I much prefer Christmas. I'll try my best to have a good time though, even though I'll be at my Aunt's house and I don't know a lot of people there.

Buuuut tomorrow my Auntie is going to make PASTA specially for me because I'm dying for it.

I'm having dinner at my husband's grandparents' house. The following day I'm having dinner with my mother and her parents at our favorite sushi bar, and then the following day another traditional Thanksgiving dinner with my father's family.

I am most thankful that I'm not a Native American.

I am gonna be enjoying this Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family. And there will be Turkey. TWO OF 'EM! And one will be deep-fried. My boyfriend's family does Thanksgiving hardcore.

[Savern Volaco]

Family is all I have now so yes all my freinds or well so and so forth family is all that matters on giving thanks with the foosd.

[Shlup]

Pfft. Last year we had four turkeys.

Which is sad 'cause I'm... pescatarian, or whatever. Don't eat birds.

Did any one else hear about the triple bird trend. I forgot the exact name of it but it goes something like this. You take a chicken, stuff it inside a duck, then take the stuffed duck and stuff it in the turkey.

I will never understand why the U.S. is the fattest country in the world.

As for what I'm doing on Turkey Day: Spending it with my brother and g/f, parents went out of town. Which makes me very happy.

[Cipher]

Yup! It's called Turducken! It's a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey. The layers also have a kind of paste between them... it's actually pretty good. Makes for a great meal for a Thanksgiving Family of 15 or so, I'd say.

Would I cook it for just myself and one other? Hellz no.

Your all going to catch bird flu. Good thing I don't like turkey.

I'm going to a friends house and making mashed potatos for the first time ever.

Happy Thanksgiving, people. I plan to spend today with my girlfriend at our apartment, making ourselves a feast and, well, feasting. I have no real thanks to give to anyone, because I earned the paycheck that I use to provide her and myself with food.

That "sucks to be Native American" bit was low; it's akin to poking fun at Jews for having to suffer the Holocaust. Ha ha, what a bunch of chumps, huh?

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

As for that, you don't see a holiday dedicated to the destruction of our dear Jewish population, do you? You have Thanksgiving, yeah, but people tend to forget that months after that meal that the pilgrims shared with the N.A's, they were turning them all into slaves and when that didn't work, simply contented themselves with stealing their lands.

Basically, it's a holiday that trivializes the arrival of the destruction of America in its most natural and unmolested state.
