Happy Turkey Day, Canada!

Space Cadet · 13-10-2008, 12:33 AM

For all my fellow Canucks out there, have a happy thanksgiving.

Don't eat too much.

The Mad Hatter · 13-10-2008, 12:35 AM

TURKEY??!?!?!?!

I can't wait until next month.

You'd better all get over to the Turkey thread, then!!

Space Cadet · 13-10-2008, 01:59 AM

How did I know you were going to say that...

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

Petit Prince · 13-10-2008, 02:03 AM

Happy Thanksgiving everyone in Canada!

A good friend actually went to Canada as an exchange student, I guess I will wish him a happy turkey day then.

How do you celebrate it?

It's not that late.

Watching Setenta News and doing some research for an essay.

2.15am isn't late??

When's this essay due? Today?

Petit Prince · 13-10-2008, 02:17 AM

Yeah. Or tomorrow to make me feel better. 1200 words to go.

Well, it was originally meant as a way to give thanks for the fall harvest, but nowadays it mainly means getting a day off work and eating lots and lots of food.

Families usually get together, especially since it's a long weekend. A lot of people have a tradition (at least we do in my family) of taking turns to say what you're thankful for and reflect on all the good things that have happened in the last year. Basically not take life for granted for a change.

Then there's the food- lots of turkey, mashed potato, veggies, cranberry sauce, and lots and lots and lots of pie. Pumpkin and apple pie especially (being harvest foods and all). I just got the pumkin pies for tomorrow in the oven now- should be done soon.

Sounds like a nice idea!

I've never had a pumpkin pie. Is it sweet?

'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.'

Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
