Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Canadians celebrate it in mid-October cause they're weird and shit. Or probably because climate differences put the traditional harvest season earlier in the year than the US, but mostly because they're weird. For anyone taking the week off, have a nice cottage or whatever.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Oh shit, I didn't know the Canadians had a celebration for wiping out an entire continental indigenous population! Well played, my Northern Brothers. Well played.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Tomorrow we're doing an orphans' thanksgiving at my friend's place. Because some of us live inconveniently far from our families, and some of us just don't give a shit about them. I think the organizer has gone a bit overboard, though. The dress code is trashy basic white girl - not even sure if it's meant to be ironic - and someone else is making "headdresses", which concerns me. My parents are from immigrant families, so my childhood thanksgivings with the extended family was always a sort of affectation on the part of my grandparents. This was a good thing, for the most part, as there was never lousy white people food like green bean casserole or whatever the hell you call yam and marshmallows. So this is kind of my first real WASP thanksgiving. Oh boy. What pieces of etiquette should I be aware of?
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Ours are still largely alive, but treated like they don't exist. It gets complicated and political after that, but let's say they get a raw deal in their own way. Up here Thanksgiving is generally not taken as seriously as you guys, and this year the trees are still green so nothing around here is harvesting yet.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Headed to my gf's family farm out in the wildcat hills, northwest of Calgary. Kind of a transition zone before you hit the Rockies. Hopefully there's still a few brown leaves on the aspens, because it makes for some pretty beautiful scenery. I'll post some pics if I get a chance.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! That is because me and you, and the rest of the Canadian's through the nose for them.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! you shut your whore mouth, never slander the good name of green bean casserole again. Marshmellow and yam casserole, on the other hand, can suck a dick.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! And cranberry sauce should only be from a can. None of that homemade shit full of fruit and nuts.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Good point. Some traditions should never be tainted in the interest of "fresh" and "gourmet"
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! If someone brought homemade cranberry sauce to my thanksgiving I'd be a bit confused. Somethings are best left in their industrialized, bastardized modern incarnation. And some traditions are best left to whither and die with the old generation. I'm sorry Mya, but green bean casserole is one of those.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! I am sorry Toddamus, you are no longer invited to my Thanksgiving day feast. I think that may be the one and only time a year I use canned cream of whatever soup as I usually do prefer non-processed foods.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Thats fine, you're no longer invited to my birthday party, so there.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! My parents and the GF's parents welcome me to their respective Thanksgiving dinners. I'm sure it has something to do with smoked trout dip and the standing offer to fry the turkey. Little do they know it provides me with the perfect reason to go outside, drink beer, and pretty much do what I want to do on my terms.
Re: Happy Fucking Thanksgiving, eh! Anyone watch the premiere of American Horror Story this week? Jesus Christ that clown.
Yeah green bean casserole is nasty. While i don't normally make a habit of disagreeing with attractive women, Mya you are woefully wrong on this one.
The Devils Rejects scarred me permanently. God that movie was fucked up. Tim Curry did a good job as well:
Why is the Thanksgiving thread full of nasty casserole and fucked up clowns?! I AM NOT THANKFUL FOR THESE THINGS.
