Happy Thanksgivin', 'Murrica!

[Rumckle]

Remind me again - what are we celebrating? Is it,like, independence or fucking first evar wallmart or black peoples getting the vote or some shit?

Apparently UK has fuck all to be thankful for. 

I think it has something to do with the pilgrims landing in the US, being dicks, then not having food for the winter. So the natives shared their food, with the pilgrims in a gesture of friendship.

The favour was then returned by the pilgrims sharing their blankets.

At this point in my life I've entirely given up on what holidays are "supposed" to be about and use them as excuses to eat nice food and/or give and get nice things. If it was up to me, I'd do away with even the Discordian holidays and allot them as follows, in no particular order:

1) Nice Food Day
2) Inexpensive Nice Things Day
3) Nice Food and Slightly More Expensive Nice Things (But Only If You Can Afford It) Day
4) Bonus Holiday; Make Your Own Shit Up


And all of these would involve dressing up in costumes like it was Halloween.

Isn't that the actual point of holidays?

Basically, yeah. I'm just saying it wouldn't bother me at all if society did away with the garbled history and was honest about its motivations for having holidays.

I kinda take the 4th may and the 5th of may seriously, but apart from that ... maybe.

Oh and Sinterklaas of course. You gotta have presents from this old guy riding the roofs on a white horse, accompanied by blackface slaves, after all.

And Sint Maarten, except it would be more awesome if the kids dressed up like you do with Halloween, right now they just walk around with lanterns and sing songs when they beg for candy..

And Easter, I usually eat slightly more eggs that weekend and ponder about the implications of zombie jesus.

And Old/New Years! When we explode the crap out of shit with carbide and eat fried dough balls [way more delicious than it sounds] and start the year right by not being able to remember the first part of it!!

Just random holiday for randomly having a party without any kind of tradition seems a littlebit boring to me. You gotta have some weird ass shit

Nothing could be more delicious than that sounds.

Well, typically, we enjoy trampling early morning shoppers to death the day after Thanksgiving in an mad dash for discount game consoles.

In the Scottish Empire all holidays are celebrated by getting totally fuckheaded on booze and drugs.

The bible said "something ... something ... wine ... something" and we basically picked it up and ran with it.

Thanksgiving was decent enough. Crazy grandpa didn't even need to be drugged, he just kind of...sat and stared in silence.

But holy hell I'm tired from producing/eating all that food.

A happy Thanksgiving to everyone, you spags!

Happy Indigenous American Genocide & Turkey Day, everybody.

[Suu]

I missed the Wal-Mart rush this morning. I wanted to watch people die this year too.  Stupid sleep.


Oh well, at least I got French toast. And now we go get as much stuff out of the house as possible before I go to work. Ugh.

Happy Indigenous American Genocide & Turkey Day, everybody.

Now now...The Wompanoags were nice injuns, it was those pesky Narragansetts from present-day RI that came in and ended up killing all the pilgrims after the fact.

-Suu
They got a beer named after them for a reason!

Leftovers, I has!


Also, GS, his nephew, and his sister's BF got stoned as hell around 7pm as we settled in to watch It's A Wonderful Life...That green bean casserole is gone now, and I think the night degraded into GS talking like George Bailey.

Also also...the pie was a hit. So much that I got my one serving and never saw the rest of it.
