Ocean11 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've been invited by my American neighbour to a Thanksgiving party, and I'm torn between going in high dudgeon that I should be required to celebrate the mutinuous succession and devolution of large parts of the British population, or going in a spirit of humble thankfullness that I at least wasn't involved. I'm really not all that fond of tinned pumpkin pie either... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Why not go and "discuss the issues"? Good timing, and educational. For the sake of kokusai-ka. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 go and celebrate your right to gluttony. the rites, reasons, and pageantry to this and the christmas celebration have long since morphed into something much different from their intended purposes. at best, go and celebrate a good meal and good drink with good friends. (i am presuming all of these things will indeed be good. however, if any of them are even mildly sub par, raise hell) Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks Kumapix. Armed with some bottles of cheap wine and your article from alternet, I intend to be the life and soul of this afternoon's party. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I suggest you introduce yourself by declaring that America makes enemies faster than it can kill them. See how it goes from there. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Ah, thanks for that article, Kuma. Now I understand that Thanksgiving is really the American version of Australia Day. Link to post Share on other sites
