eh cant say. I dont celebrate Thanksgiving..so I get to stay home (for no reason really) and not stuff me face. But than again I find stuffing my face with turkey is uterly disgusting! (no insults ment, I just hate turkey..). I rather save it for Serbian Christmas in January..and than do the stuffing with pork chops

i dislike turkey

Pork?!?!? You like pork but not turkey...I'm not huge on either...but...PORK!???!?!! *Starts referring to Leonhart as "The Porker"*

I prefer, Turkey, Dressing - not stuffing, cranberry salad, green beans, broccolli casserole, yeast roll. *Note, it as to be Kosher, so no ham. The tradition, use to be, the family togeather. This year is not for me, just me, my Mom and her husband eating out. Brother and 2 sisters cant make it. Dad and his wife about 100 miles away.

Brian...er fd, you do realise that turkey can kill you if not throughly cooked?

Oh, its well cooked, min internal temp is 160 deg F.

To a degree, this thread is more to see if there is too much self indulgence at this time of year, versus, Thanks Giving for what we have. The colonist were thankful to God (Religious discussion not desired) and the native Americans that helped them not only with food they shared at the meal, but help in planting/gardening to provide food for thier survival. Many died in the beginning due to the cold, scarsity of food and illness. Yet we are not thankful for what we have today.

And you still think I look like Brian Blessed?

Aw gee, FD, your beard's getting some frosting on it already Lay off the dessert and cookies until tomorrow.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. FD just lookes like George Lucas with brown hair.



What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a grocery bag? One's white, plastic and dangerous for kids to play with, the other you put your groceries in.

All your oil are belong to U.S.

EEEEEEEEK!
My heart...
Fading
Unghhhh.
I'm going to have a nice turkey in the 'fridge tom.. actualy today.

FD - lol. repeat after me....GORDON'S ALIVE!

FD's explained more about what Thanksgiving is in a few lines of tect than I've known throughout my entire life. Outside of the US hardly anyone knows what Thanksgiving is, and no-one learns anything about it in UK schools.

there's a reason for that though; the people who's memory is celebrated at Thanksgiving are people *we* (ie Britain) was glad to see the back of. Puritans who weren't exactly popular with our then govt. Of course, for a while they were top-dogs mid-century during Cromwell's era, but after he died and the King returned, they were out on their ear and many fled to America to join the co-religionists who'd gone earlier on the Mayflower.

I didn't know until FD said so that T'giving remember the Indians who helped the Mayflower colonists? I was under the impression the Puritans loathed the Indians for their savagery and licentiousness. Looks like I was wrong!
