Happy Thanksgiving

The merchants are crying because this year, Thanksgiving is as late as it can be, which cuts down on the Traditional Orgy of Consumerism. But enough of that, on to the regular post for this day:



On a number of radio stations back in the day, playing the entire song was a Thanksgiving tradition. Some of them were commercial stations-- almost nineteen minutes of no commercials. And some of them played it twice, at noon and 3 PM.

The judge was really blind, he had a Seeing-Eye dog. He played himself in the movie (as did Officer Obie).

I hope that if you're in America, you and yours have a good Thanksgiving. Try not to punch out your racist uncle or your commie nephew.

And please, enjoy the day without resorting to rampant consumerism.

Or burning down your hostess's house.



And you can maintain peace at the table by dividing up the attendees.

(Yes, this is almost a complete repeat from earlier years. So sue me.)

  1. This year a chicken or turkey for one is just too much. The plan is hot
    dogs, beans, and stewed tomatoes... and something bisquick.

    Besides I like it.

    1. Vegan dog biscuits sounds like a crime against nature.

    2. I agree with you, but the pooch in question is a puggle. A Beagles nose and a Pugs endless appetite. So he gets rationed while still getting to enjoy a snack or three.

  5. This summarizes the Republican position:
