TimWilborne Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Happy Thanksgiving Everyone Or atleast to those of you in the US. I think Canada's Thanksgiving has passed but not sure. When and who else celebrates Thanksgiving and what is it called?
gravitar Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 a buddy of mine from Canada said Columbus day is roughly equivalent to our thanksgiving
Ken Moore Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 A little Holiday Humor, safe for children, lol. If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Pilgrims! Why did the turkey cross the road? It was the chicken's day off. If the Pilgrims were alive today, what would they be most famous for? Their AGE Why can't you take a turkey to church? Because they use such FOWL language What are the feathers on a turkey's wings called? Turkey feathers What's the best dance to do on Thanksgiving? The turkey trot Can a turkey jump higher than the Empire State Building? Yes - a building can't jump at all Which side of the turkey has the most feathers? The outside Why did they let the turkey join the band? Because he had the drumsticks Why did the police arrest the turkey? They suspected it of fowl play What's the key to a great Thanksgiving dinner? The turKEY What did the turkey say before it was roasted? Boy! I'm stuffed!
TimWilborne Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Posted November 23, 2006 I like those Ken. Very good
ECSI Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Actually, they are both celebrated on the second monday in October, but the Canadian Thanksgiving's official proclamation is "For general thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings with which the people of Canada have been favoured." So, are any of you Yankees working today at 2X wages? Edited November 23, 2006 by ECSI
TimWilborne Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Posted November 23, 2006 That brings up another good question. When I refer to yankees I think of people in the north east US. Who is a Yankee to a Canadian?
ECSI Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 A yankee to me is any American, just as a canuck refers to any Canadian. I do realize though that yankee mostly refers to northeast USA, not to mention a few grossly overpaid baseball players...lol
TimWilborne Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Posted November 23, 2006 I live under a rock. Never heard of a Canuck. And yes Yankee also refer to some over paid baseball player
jstolaruk Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I wish, I'm salary . Folks that cross the Ambassador Bridge everyday from Windsor for work celebrate both I understand.
IO_Rack Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Be carful with that Yankee term. Them people down in TW's neck of the woods take offence to that. We prefer to call them Hillbillies! Only kidding of course. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Edited November 23, 2006 by IO_Rack
BobLfoot Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Happy Thanksgiving ALL. Yankees, Rednecks, Rebels, Hillbillies, Canucks, Ridgerunners, Scandahovians and more
TConnolly Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Happy Thanksgiving Day ... And this should just about cover everything else... Edited November 23, 2006 by Alaric
BobLfoot Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Thats about as close to Bah HUMBUG as I've seen. LOL.
TimWilborne Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Posted November 24, 2006 Who you calling a Redneck? Just kidding of course. I can't wait to show my wife Alaric's picture. She doesn't think I get enthusiastic enough about the holidays
BobLfoot Posted November 24, 2006 Report Posted November 24, 2006 Hope it meets more enthusiasm than Man Law did.
TConnolly Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 No Bah Humbugs from me, but I do think that picture is an absolute riot.
