This is Vati's post

I seriously can't remember why I made this post.
So, discuss: Obama lost your Olympics.

My cousin works for the 2010 Olympics, she was part of the group that came up with Quatchi and the other mascots.

lol so cute

hehe yup

That died really quick-like.

We're geeks, Vati, how long can we talk about a purely sporting event?

Actually, we didn't even do that. We just talked about the penguins.

So cute.

My post shall continue.
Thanksgiving.
Discuss.

Stuffing is the most tasty food ever.

Discuss.

Dude, if there is one thing at Thanksgiving I would it, it would be Deviled Eggs.
But stuffing is right there at second. Like, it's perfect. It's just.. grub. And it tastes good. It's just asking to be devoured.

no no no you have it all wrong. its the heavenly ham.... mmmm so tender and delicous

I will concede that both ham and deviled eggs are tasty, though I still think stuffing comes out at the top.

For thanksgiving, yes. Stuffing is king. Little king smiley now.

There it is. That is stuffing.
Personally, can't have ham at Thanksgiving because my sis is Jewish.

But the eggs are so good.
Personal 2nd fave goes to pumpkin seeds though.
Discuss.

I'm so hungry.

I'M SO HUNGRY

Pumkin seeds are bomb. Deviled eggs, not so much. They smell bad. I don't like eggs to begin with, but deviled eggs, ugh.

I don't recall a Thanksgiving where ham was involved, just turkey. Which is usually moderately dry.

Honeyed carrots are delicious. Discuss.

I reject your reality.

Also, we've had several Thanksgivings with both turkey and ham. The turkey usually is dry and gross, but the ham is, more often than not, exquisite.

This thing dies more than like,
um,
Terminator.
And the Dalai Lama.
Combined.
Badass, back to American Thanksgiving then.

I still visit everyday.

I have question, what is thanksgiving?
i mean i know a bit about it through tv but yeah iunno why you do it?
and i don't want "because we like turkey" XD

my thanksgiving this year was pretty awesome though (:

...You ever watch the movie Pocahontas?

The Pilgrims were going through their first winter in their new found lands, and the natives were gracious to share with them food. On that day, it was a massive feast, everyone gave Thanks. >.>

The USA celebrates our Historical Moments <.<

The US celebrates that time the natives taught them to make awesome food, right before the colonists slaughtered them and took their land. =P

We do love food

Sweet Potatoes

Enough said

oh well cool.
basically another day to eat more
why is it always on a thursday though?

The tradition of Thanksgiving on Thursday started with Lincoln, who proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a day of thanks:

Quote :

I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United
States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November
next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who
dwelleth in the Heavens.

On one year that had five Thanksgivings, though, Roosevelt decreed that the fourth Thursday of November would be Thanksgivings, and in the midst of the Great Depression, he thought that an earlier Thanksgiving holiday would raise spirits and boost economy. Amusingly enough, some people just said, "Screw that," and had Thanksgiving on the last Thursday anyway.

Then in the 1940s, US Congress officially passed a resolution to name the fourth Thursday in November as the official Thanksgiving.

So, to answer your question of why Thursday; No good reason.
