Happy Thanksgiving - To Those It Applies TO

Happy Thanksgiving - To Those It Applies TO
Doesn't it apply to all? Even if you are from Mars the day should still be a happy one. I shall have a happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone everywhere has a happy day too.

The Beta thing?

My ol pal, I had a massive computer failure. I had to reformat and reinstall everything. Since this is my hobby and part time job, that danged day thing got in the way and made it take too long to reinstall. I lost track of what was happening.

I just wanted to not offend anyone that was fighting for turkey rights, or believed that Thanksgiving was really the beginning of genocide of the Indians, or found our group meals to be repulsive. That is why I made sure and mention the Sultan - acknowledging the important things in other cultures.

By the way, while Tur Duck-En is a popular dish in the south, one of the Arab cultures have a dish that is a camel, stuffed with a llama, with a goat, and a chicken and a fish and an egg - or something like that. It is evidently roasted for a couple of days (camels are not good rare evidently). I think it is for big feasts like weddings and Sultan's Birthdays.

Our world has seen political correctness enacted to the point that Monty Python would reject it as a script idea as too implausible.

I seriously read about a school where the teacher was teaching the little 6year olds that celebrating thanksgiving was celebrating the murder of the indian population. Wow. So there has to be a POTATO Society (Prevention of Turkey and Turducken Ovening) somewhere out there that I need to be sensitive to.

Sorry Potato heads.

No they invaded Greece a lot and split the isle of Crete.

Wait a second POTATO? I am for the preservation and elevation of potatos everywhere. They are the unsung heros that we dig up from a perfectly happy life in the dirt to play second fiddle to a turkey. Then they get the further insult of having hot gravy pored on top them with out anyone asking them if its OK. I think we should offer them a lot more respect. Then, eat them.

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Sonarites.
I'm going to stuff myself, take a nap and do it again. Repeat as often as necessary.

Yea, Space, it is hard to know when to quit joking and where the joke ends. Somewheres out in CA they called off a traditional Indian/Pilgrim fest for kindergardeners since a mother complained about dressing up as stereo types (I guess surround o types would have been fine). Not all the loonies they let out when they closed the mental institutions back in the 60's ended up on NYC's streets but managed to enter into a breeding program. It is like not being able to dress as a witch on Holloween because of wickens or as a skeleton since the bulimic might be offended.

We are having two turkeys since we had a bunch of folk over one time and they ate our single bird to the bone. Besides, this is the only meal my wife cooks, her mother's dressing is to die for but I like smoked turkey better (and it makes no juice for dressing). If there is too much left over, the dog appreciates it.

Any old reason for a party A bud?

Happy Thanksgiving All who celebrate Thanksgiving.
And for you who are not in the US of A, have a great Thursday November 27th or whatever your culture calls it. Albanian independence day is Friday. As is East Timor's Independence day. And Mauritania's. Barbados' is coming Sunday I think. Party hard dudes (and dudettes).

Yo Oman-ites - sorry I missed the Birthday of Sultan Qaboos a week ago - but hope that went well for you.

Anyway, for those who celebrate Thanksgiving, who like to dress like Pilgrims and get drunk and dance with American Indians, who live for football and roller derby - I identify more with you than missing Sultan Qaboos' birthday (no offense) so lets have a great day.

Peace out.

Thanksgiving is a universal holiday that all should practice daily. We all have everything to be Grateful for, to have electricity, a computer, Sonar 6,7,8 Pro, FOOD, AIR, FINGERS, and most importantly, if you're reading this, YOU DIDN'T WAKE UP DEAD TODAY!!!!

Thankyou and very seriously,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.....

Happy Thanksgiving All!!

Thanks space, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and everyone else on the forum also. Don't eat too much boyrd as we say here in NJ! ;) I think I'll be dressing like a pilgrim with an indian ponytail to honor both. :) Be safe everyone and be careful driving. :)

How many of you guys have spent a day (or more) at a modern poultry farm?

Re: Potatoes... clearly nature made the potato to be a food source... mainly for the potato species.

Selecting and eating a potato is a whole different situation than taking the life of a living breathing being.

It's nice to think people give thanks for what they take, but if the "thanks" were sincere and offered with understanding I suspect there would be less need for awkward jokes about the nature of our relationships with our food sources.


Happy Thanksgiving!

best regards,
mike

I have much to be grateful for, and don't need to be reminded of that..... but heck, I appreciate the reminder all the same. Not to mention the family and friend time, good food, football (if the Eagles win!!--okay, I guess I'll enjoy it anyway!) and, oh yeah, the day off work!!

Enjoy the day everybody!!!

Thanks and Happy Thanksgivings to all

I'll be with the inlaws who are really great! Every year it's a big meal with turkey or Tur'En (just turkey n chicken), potatoes, vegetables, shrimp, and other stuff including desserts (pumpkin pie, apple pie, pineapple n coconut cream pie) and various sweet slices (mostly chocolate fudge slices). ---- Later on we all play a game of trivia (we separate into teams) it's always a lot of fun.
