No, you eat turkey (gobblers) on Thanksgiving, toby - any other reference is wrong :-)

[DTCwordfan]

same thing Toby.

It's a festival to celebrate the arriving of the Mayflower and making it through the first year re settlement and harvest - and in survinving the Indians (mixed reactions from them), the turkey being central as the wild turkey was abundant.

Today it is a day where families come together and celebrate with a family meal...no pressies, cards etc - makes a nice kick-off to Christmas. Tomorrow is the commercial day where (traditionally and also even inc the feminists), the women head for the stores and then men to watch AM football or play golf etc (in the South)......Friday is known as Black Friday as this is usually the day that the stores swing into profit for the year, part a result of the heavy trading.....

Yes it might be a great song and dance with merriment and over indulgence but all i'm saying is let's not forget it's origins, the fallen and those left behind picking up the pieces who because of the past have had their culture,traditions and civilisation as they or their forefathers once knew it torn apart and who maybe homeless, unable to find work and who would view the celebrations happening around them with a different point of view.

Happy Thanksgiving day DT, and as sibo say's especially your two special ones.

Your arguments, treehorn, have just self-imploded by your perverse and hypocritical thread on the behaviour of grenade and nuclear explosions.

[DTCwordfan]

explosions that kill people, triggerhappy, after the comment here - bit of a perverse juxtaposition? I have no issue with an interest in science relative to events and history..

(see his thread)

[DTCwordfan]

sorry about the typo! I hate it too when someone misspells my avatar name or my real one.

[TobyLaRhone]

They're the same??

I was being naughty.
I was going to suggest that Thanksgiving came just after the other.

But I won't.

[Treehorn]

"explosions that kill people"

No i'm afraid no one said that at all, please go back and read it properly.

I said mannequins as a gauge as the army did and my question was a hypothetical one regarding outer space where not a lot of humans reside.

Lol Toby

The comments you are making are not apropos for this thread, Treehorn. It is one of celebration and greetings.
