Title: Happy Thanksgiving
Post by: itlnstln on Fri, 19 November 2010, 15:20:44
I'm heading out on vacation shortly, and just wanted to tell you ugly Americans to have a happy Thanksgiving.  See y'all in about 10 days.  PM me if something cool happens, otherwise, leave me the **** alone; I'll be giving thanks with a plate full of mashed potatoes and stuffing.  I love holidays that give Americans an excuse to get fatter.  Enjoy!

TV dinners.  What dishes?



On a serious note, when I was working in the stores, there was some guy buying, like, 10 turkey TV dinners for Thanksgiving.  I didn't know whether feel bad for the guy or laugh my ass off.

You, Americans, always do things differently. Why do you have to celebrate Thanksgiving later than Canadians? Couldn't you do the same as Canadians?
Oh wait a minute...it's the Canadians who copy the Americans usually, not the other way around.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans on this forums, even the ones I don't like.

Lol.  Giving thanks to all the people you don't like?  Sounds like relatives.


Haha... I don't have any relative South of the border whom I don't like. I have only one, but I like him.

korea had a bank holiday when sc2 came out, pretty much expected work to not happen. When japan releases a new final fantansy/dragon quest that becomes a holiday too.
Ah a nation where holidays are dictated by video game releases now that is progress!
f that stupid royal-commoner wedding garbage.
