I just wanted to explain to the offlanders, uh, that...when I was a lad, Thanksgiving was explained as being a holiday for giving thanks during the harvest time. The image of the cornucopia, or horn of plenty, was prominent in decorations. Okay, okay. So a day of feasting was very appropriate to that.
In the 70's, I recall, there was an interesting thing introduced during Thanksgivings which still exists to this day...the television tradition of running "marathons" of one sort or another--usually one TV station would run episodes of The Twilight Zone all day long. A couple of years, it was a whole day of continuous Godzilla films. My earliest memories of this type of TV programming was a whole day, more or less, of King Kong (1933), run at least four or five times that day and into the evening. This type of programming may seem odd but it was always strangely appropriate. Feasting celebrants would chow down on whatever tasty victuals were at hand and then sit around the TV and let their minds drift away watching really weird and somewhat ghoulish fantasy programs. It is for this reason that many people think of Thanksgiving as Halloween's older and slightly more mature cousin twice removed.

Maybe a whole day of Zombie Movies would make it better? I went to an Easter party that was basically that--snacks and drinks, and continuous ZOMBIE MOVIES, going from country to country, sort of a tour of the world's great zombies.

Well this Thanksgiving has been awkward so far. My dad was yelling to my mom about not sleeping in the same room together and all this BS that has been going on for years. (My father was in a bad car accident in 79 and his brain has been effed up since then) and he likes to flip out at her for nothing. So I finally lost it and flipped out and told him to stop fucking yelling at her and I told him I'd beat his ass and he said let's step outside and I laughed at him because he can barely walk in a straight line let alone fight me so I was tempted to beat his ass but declined because I'd rather not spend Thanksgiving in a holding cell.
Anyways Happy Thanksgiving all.

I'm sorry to hear about this weirdness, Gorephobia, but hopefully things will calm down a bit. People often get emotional around the holidays, so all sorts of things happen, I've seen quite a few odd things myself. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Be good, you, and don't watch too many Zombie Movies.
