Thoughts on Thanksgiving [Postdated and updated regularly]

NOTE TO ALL WHOM WERE LINKED ON THIS POST: For some reason, I jes' found that MT suddenly forgot about all the previously sent pings, so I apologize for any massive pongage. My intent was simply to send traffic your way and not to bombard your site with a multitude of pings, but much akin to misguided kisses, I jes' can't take 'em back. I would if I could.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the American soldier. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. - Serenity
I'm thankful the Pilgrims served turkey and not raccoon. - Susie
Ah, well, time to beautify myself so I can spill gravy on my best blouse. There had better be pumpkin pie. I need Cool Whip™! - Susie, again
All right...who around here is such a geekosaurus that they're reading blogs on Thanksgiving? - Jay Allen, but quotin' such is not intended as repayment for this
I also hope that if my beloved 'Boys (Dallas) are playing, they too, do some major ass kicking... ESPECIALLY if they're playing ANY team named after a bird. - Stevie
They'll definitely be playin' later but are opposin' a team named after a large vicious mammal, the Chicago Bears. Henson is supposedly scheduled to start as the Cowboys QB.
Happy Thanksgiving, folks. Eat up and Go Cowboys! - Buzz
Nothing says Thanksgiving like Charlie Brown missing the ball again. Damn Lucy. Damn her to hell! - Michele, providin' appropriate graphic representation
From a post by Bravo Romeo Delta on Munuviana, we find a pointer to the soundtrack of the WKRP in Cincinnatti Turkey Drop episode: [.ram audiolink] and for somethin' really really old, here is a nice T'Day present from Jim Lindgren of Volokh Conspiracy: The First Thanksgiving (the original account)
I know my attitude lacks gratitude lately (um-- unintentional rhyme there), but introspective malaise is, in my case, a luxury of the blessed. It's only because I have so much that I can afford to whine. - Sheryl [Paper Napkin, found via the comments and blogrolled***]
I guess when ya see Glenn Reynolds showin' ya the bird, it might be time to close the ceremonies. It has been fun, but no more updatin' to be done.

You are graciously invited to join in on these festivities. If you have a Thanksgiving related post that I have overlooked, feel free to email the pertinent data to roguegenius [at] gmail [dot] com.

*Which seems to be currently makin' the rounds on the AOL forwardin' circuit, as I recently received this very same very very ol' joke from my Aunt 'Net.

**Title thereof proudly presented complete with danglin' participle. ;)

***I love to see posts with pictures drawn by children, but knowin' how to properly footnote was the final straw.

Amen to the quote from Susie...never tried raccoon, never plan to!

Don't mind the pongage at all. Happy Thanksgiving, Tig.

Drat, forgot to say that I have a Turkey Day post up. You're a bright one, though, you can probably figure that out.

Dude, not that I mind all that much, but you've sent me like 15 trackbacks so far on two posts. Is something maybe broke on your server?

Hope you're having a great day.
