People tend to think of English food at bland, but, in fact, the pilgrims used many spices, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pepper, and dried fruit, in sauces for meats

 

LOL, gotta love those english stereotypes.

Thanksgiving is where we celebrate Americans setting the wheels in motion for an Indian takeover.

 

Have some turkey

it's a ritual sacrifice...with pie.

It's the day where with one voice we said "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish... without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today... we celebrate our Independance Day!"

 

Oh wait... that had nothing to do with anything... sorry.

No, Zsasz, Bill Pullman was NOT the founder of Thanksgiving.

 

As far as I can tell, Thanksgiving is about fighting with your relatives while eating turkey that's either too dry or overcooked, and the young'uns of the family run around driving you crazy while the elder males watch football, which you could care less about because all you really wanna do is go up to your room, lock the door, and beat off before and after playing WWF No Mercy for Nintendo 64 while listening to some White Zombie and some George Thorogood, but of course you can't do that because you have to talk to your family, the same family that does nothing but ridicule you for whatever hairstyle you're sporting this year and the kinds of haircuts you've had prior, including that one embarassing mullet that grew when you tried to get a rat's tail in 4th grade because they were all the rage amongst your pre-pubescent friends, but of course it didn't work because your barber sucks and he thought you said "shave everything but the top and back," but your dad tipped him anyways because that same barber used to cut your dad's hair when he was a kid and still does, thus explaining daddy-o's awful fucking doo, and then you wish that your mother would stop complaining over the fucking green bean casserole and that your sister knew how to manage her 3 children without your constant help, and your girlfriend calls you but you don't want to talk to her because you're angry and tired and you know that if you piss her off again she'll put you on abstinence for punishment, so you pretend to be happy, but she sees right through it, calls you on it, and then hangs up on your sorry ass right before that song that always reminds you of your dead grandfather begins playing and all you want to do is break down and cry, but you have to be a tough guy because your family will never stop making fun of you for it, so you go for a 90-minute walk while smoking a handful of cigarettes to calm down, and come back when the streetlights turn on, your family is gone, and all you can do is sit in your favorite desk chair, turn the computer on, and download the latest Asian and/or German porn clip while listening to Michael Jackson's old 80's singles, back when he truly was the King Of Pop.
