American Thanksgiving

American Thanksgiving is a way bigger deal than Canadian Thanksgiving, which is what I grew up with. You get a four day weekend here, there's football everywhere all of the sudden (except apparently in Detroit), and pumpkin flavored everything, the best of all seasonal flavors. The main allure of Thanksgiving is you get to eat a lot of food, which I guess isn't so different from any other day in America but on Thanksgiving you don't have to feel guilty about it. Which is to say I ate way too much tonight, which is to say I ate exactly the right amount.

RATING: 96%

It's too bad no one at R3 wrote a recent review of Canadian Thanksgiving, because that would have been a perfect hyperlink. Oh well.

I actually looked at your Canadian Thanksgiving review while I wrote this one. I guess that just emphasizes what a lazy asshole I am, huh?

Tom, turkey legs are an integral part of Muslim heaven, take it from me, your Arab pal.

Lazy arab asshole.

Fuck you guys are racist.

I should probably follow that by saying that I accept the fact that my pasty, melanin deprived and violent ancestors pretty much only married their cousins and farm animals.

Q: What's the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scotsman?

A: Jagger sings, "Hey, you, get off my cloud," and a Scotsman shouts, "Hey, MacLeod, get off my ewe."

I put in a Canadian Thanksgiving link. Tom, where did you get a Thanksgiving turkey that had three legs?

DCP said...

Hey, you compromised the artistic integrity of my review!

I changed a misplaced apostrophe on someone's review last week and didn't say anything. I figure it's easier than posting comments that they're just gonna have to delete anyway. I'd never do a stylistic edit, of course.

I also delete references to unpersons, and drag thought criminals to Room 101.
