happy thanksgiving

[billy rubin]

hey

happy thanksgiving to you other english speakers

here in america its a holiday where we practice travelling a full day, eating for a full day, and then more travelling.

we have this thing where we get together and eat a lot. at the end of thal part the men go into the living room to talk about cars and football, and the women clean up in the kitchen and talk about cooking and babies.

Not traveling, and won't be eating too much. Won't be watching any sports, either. That's Unamerican, I know.

Is it not basically a spin on harvest fair? Speaking of, is Oktoberfest a spin on harvest fair..? I seem to have read something somewhere about that one being "the odd one out" in that regard... Hmm...

That said, history is generally defined by the conquerors, not the conquered, and a bit down the line of said history, it seems perfectly reasonable to celebrate those conquests as they led to the nation in question being what it is, and the United States... Still worth celebrating.
