Thanksgiving -
November 23rd, 2011
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and that means three things: Eating well, drinking thirstily and finally getting to screw in the ole turkey suit again. That may sound a little silly until you’ve seen the Indians and pilgrims we have coming over to enjoy our horn o’ plenty.
While we’re fantasizing, how about a full-on feast with all the trimmings, where the ladies cook and do all the cleaning while we get comfortable on the couch with a cold beer and settle in for the games? Oh wait, that IS going to happen. God bless America! Life is good indeed.

Approximate number of turkeys raised for slaughter in 2011 per the Department of Agriculture. Barack Obama will be pardoning only one. Wow, even his poultry approval rating blows. |
Thanksgiving is America’s national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty.

Used incorrectly in a sentence: Smelling marijuana in the club, LaDarius asked Marquis who beholden?
In 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving Day a national holiday. In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt established the holiday to be the fourth Thursday of November. A short time later, the phrase “F*ck, I have to work Friday” would be echoed throughout the country.
