Got to admire posts like hers though- I can't see myself ever being excited about American customs and calling it Candy.
Miserable git I know.

Now you're talking! It's just so weird that it's hyped up but then you only get one day off and it's on a Thursday??!! so back to work on Friday.

Bummer that you have to work on Friday! We've both got the day off, which is why I don't mind it. Any 4 day weekend is fine by me--one day of family time and 3 days free (or so I hope).

Enjoy your G&Ts!

Heading over to our neighbours house for dinner, me and the wife bring our own tofurkey and gravey as we are both vegaterians. Lot's of strange questions last year like:

Are all English people vegaterians? (Ans: I'm Welsh)
Ohh so only Welsh people are vegetarian? (Ans: That's right.)
Where is Wales? (West of England and east of Ireland seperated by the Irish sea.)
SO is it in England or Ireland then? (Ans: Neither)
That's weird (from a 43 year old father of 2!)
So did you make your wife become a vegaterian before you would marry her? (Ans: No she was a vegaterian when I met her, I changed to being a vegaterian after we got married)
I don't think that's right making Americans change their religion to marry someone from another country. (Rebuff: Neither of us is religious were both athiest)
But the English came over here to be religious, that's why we have Thanksgiving.

I could go on, but I have to defrost the tofurkey.

Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

I am very sorry that you have the most dense neighbours in the US.

Good on you. As a non-flesh eater myself, I may get fired up enough to cook a tofurkey. More likely I'll go skiing and drink lots of beer. :beer:

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house
My darling little niece and my wanker brother, her father
Have given everyone BUT me a case of the spew-n-runs.

All the toilets are in use and Lysol hangs in the air
And I'm the only one well
With a shitload of food to prepare
For those who tomorrow can keep it all down
But next year I'm bloody well GOING OUT OF TOWN!
