Happy Thanksgiving, Americanos!
 
I know this won't mean much to our UK brethren (I use the term loosely) like Pookie and Porkie, but here's hoping the U.S. SY contingent enjoys the holiday in relative ease and comfort.

Get drunk, gorge, and be stupid.

Hey, everything sucks, but at least there's a smart man in the White House come January.

What do you thank? Being American?

gmku 11.26.2008 08:24 PM

I try not to think in such narrow and nationalistic terms, and just think about what I have to be thankful for in terms of being a citizen of the universe.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 11.26.2008 08:47 PM

mythical version..

 

actual version..

Me too, but instead of killing Americans, I aim for cops.

gmku 11.26.2008 08:54 PM

It's an okay holiday. I don't really make that big a deal of it. It is a bit more relaxed than most such American traditions, though.

atsonicpark 11.26.2008 08:55 PM

bleh.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to gmku again.

If I would have done that, my parents would have been long gone.



Wow!!! That sentence is disturbing.

gmku 11.26.2008 08:57 PM

SuchFriends: Yes. Quit buying into all that radical cynicism bullshit. The police are your friend.

Let's celebrate the slaughter of millions of turkeys.

gmku 11.26.2008 09:01 PM

yes, yum!!! I love the tasty turkeys!

✌➬ 11.26.2008 09:02 PM

How have you been anyways?

phoenix 11.26.2008 10:49 PM

american ppl dont need a day designated to eat more.

GeneticKiss 11.26.2008 11:38 PM

If I didn't agree with the above statement, I'd find it insulting...

pbradley 11.27.2008 12:11 AM

The food is more or less an excuse for the extended family to come together.

Like the presents at Christmas.

davenotdead 11.27.2008 12:32 AM

this is a nice holiday you twats. thank you for the well-wishes gmku.

its a holiday that focuses on people getting together and being grateful for each other, and that is kind of refreshing, is it not? whether it involves killing injuns together, or preparing/eating lots of food, (or both) i wish everyone a good one

pbradley 11.27.2008 12:45 AM

Shut up, cynicism is sexy cool.

demonrail666 11.27.2008 12:46 AM

Buy a great big turkey, cook it, and then invite a local Indian family around for dinner. Thanksgiving becomes Returning the Favour day. Everyone's happy. Except the turkey.

uhler 11.27.2008 02:41 AM

mmmm tofurkey.

I dont need to buy into anything, dealing with the fucked up police is part of my daily reality. I haven't EVER been nicely stopped by a cop, its always straight to the handcuffs, ironically for "their safety" when those motherfuckers are armed to the teeth and I carry myself unarmed with only faith in God...

I'm with Eazy-E, "hey yo fuck the police, fuck em fuck em, fuck the police!"


 




"..But the state -- and gee, well, you know,
you've got to have the police, cause..
if there were no police, look at what you'd be doing to yourselves!
You'd be killing each other if there were no police!
But the reality is..
the police become necessary in human society
only at that junction in human society
where it is split between those who have and those who ain't got."

Well, if you're going to do the crime, you better be prepared to do the time.

In other words, don't put yourself in situations (criminal) that get you involved with the police. Seems pretty simple to me.

It's no mystery why Brits have such a 'tude 'bout Thanksgiving and so many gripes in general.

In many ways, the Thanksgiving holiday marks American sovereignty almost as much as the Fourth of July.
Taxes are ridiculously high in the United Kingdom. So high, in fact, that Britain is now no longer considered a "free economy."
The weather is particularly foul.
British women, and for that matter, British people, are some of the least attractive in the world.
British males have some of the smallest penises in the world.
British food is dependably bad.

demonrail666 12.10.2008 02:03 PM

Not forgetting the good old teeth issue.
