Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

[rabid1st]

And for your LOL needs...and to make you feel a little better about eating a drumstick, an article entitled "Pardoned Turkeys: Where are they now?"

I hope you all enjoy the day with family and friends, even if you are not really celebrating a holiday, because you are not an American or because you don't celebrate for other reasons.

I love the story of the first pardoned turkey. I just picture everyone getting exasperated and also amused when Abraham Lincoln's boy runs in the meeting room, like, "Don't let them kill my turkey!" It's a cute tale that's turned into one of the few American media eccentricities that are genuinely amusing.

Heh, I logged on to LJ and wondered why it was so quiet....
