Today in the U.S. we celebrate Thanksgiving as we do with most of our holidays by over-indulging. Not that I’m complaining. At least not on the food part of the celebration. Thanksgiving dinner is the sole meal I eat all year where I stuff myself. And then go back for more. And that’s just a warm-up for pigging out on cold turkey sandwiches over the next few days.
This year WalMart has decided to celebrate the holiday by starting their Black Friday sale a day early. The corporation’s employees have threatened a walk-out over wage levels for Friday, though not being complete idiots they are leaving Thursday alone since that means double pay. Regardless, I doubt anyone will notice if the stores do end up short on employees. It’s not like the place is exactly over-staffed to begin with or that the typical WalMart employee is of any use. WalMart is where you go to get a job when no one else will hire you. They should, in the spirit of the holiday, just be thankful they have a job.
That was my Mitt Romney salute to Thanksgiving.
PETA has also got in on the celebration by asking President Obama to not pardon the white house turkey this year. I don’t know how effective PETA is in their goals, but they are pros at grabbing headlines by making stupid requests. Since it is the headlines they are after, that’s all of the article I read so I can’t tell you why they wanted Obama to kill a turkey, but I did read that recently they asked Honey Boo Boo to rename her pet chicken. They didn’t appreciate the humor of the bird being named Nugget. But doesn’t seem to have a problem with a six-year-old being dressed up like a 16-year-old southern skank for a ‘beauty’ contest. That’s one of the things I love about my country, we always have our priorities straight. And for that I’m thankful.
Thanksgiving was one of the two high holidays left in the U.S. for which all businesses closed down. Not any more. That the following day is the biggest shopping day of the year wasn’t enough and now retailers are opening on Thanksgiving too to celebrate their bloated bank accounts. No problemo. I honor holidays by posting applicable pictures of naked guys and for Thanksgiving there just ain’t that many photos of nude pilgrims floating around out there. So instead this year I get to also combine Thanksgiving with Black Friday and honor the other tribe who joined in on the first Thanksgiving feast. And I’m thankful for that opportunity too.

For the last 15 years or so I am allowed to take over the TV during the half time show of whatever game we are forced to have on. Myself and all the nieces, nephews and grandparents gather around to watch one of the most hilarious moments of classic 70’s television. Several of my nephews know every line from the last 10 minutes by heart. Here is the pull quote, no fair googling.

I knew that one!

Sticking to tradition, I had a sweaty 3-some to celebrate my good fortune and I’ll be off for my Black Friday shopping spree now. Luckily, most people in Bangkok don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so the malls here aren’t as crowded as elsewhere on that particular day. Nothing worse than crowded malls, even though that means there’s more eye candy.
I hope all 3 of you had something to be thankful for then.
Planning on picking up some new sheets at the mall?
Yes, we had. No, I didn’t pick up new sheets. But I do like your straight-forward and practical thinking. You (would?) make a fine housewife, if I may say that. 🙂
As long as my future hubby understands I don’t do laundry or dishes – it’s much easier to throw them out and buy new.
Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving ? Me thinks not.
Reminds me of a young hunk in a bar, drop dead gorgeous he was. He declared through past experience that native Americans made the best lovers in bed, passion and stamina wise and Scotsmen had the biggest cocks in the world. I smiled at him and he asked my name.
Sitting Bull MacDonald says I…….and the rest is history my friends.

Methinks you forgot an ‘h’ in that name Al.
Yeah ok…..I tried. Then I’ve always been trying lol.
