That's why SouthPark is great.

It's about the colonials and the natives getting together and stopping the fighting for one day so they could have a feast or whatever. It's not religious so that's' pretty cool.

They play that Santa baby shit every ten minutes.

Your poor ears. Make sure the ear wax doesn't drip all over your clothes.

It's got pagan roots, like all good holidays.

But it's beauty is in its execution more than anything. It's like a holiday free of religious obligation or celebrating the mass deaths of some republic, and the only thing its participants are expected to do is eat and drink themselves into a coma. Somehow the American marketing machine hasn't yet found a way to pervert it into some horrible commercial opportunity... even if they came close with this "Black Friday" bullcrap the day after.

The wife is brining the turkey in kosher salt. We're gonna be such Jewbags.

It sounds like what christmas is to me. A day where i have a nice meal, drink a shit load and chill - no religious obligation.

Is that the aussie equivalent of broke back mountain? I'm super jealous, you're gonna be sloshed for days on end. How many of your dealers are gonna be there?

Just wiki'd it and we used to celebrate that in the UK. we called it "Harvest Festival". It was a big deal when I was a kid in school - it was all about giving thanks at the end of the harvest - every kid in school had to bring in tins of food and donations for all the local homeless charities, it was a christian thing and I don't know if it still celebrated.

Just like the Libyan liberation, it's all in the execution.

There is no difference between Kosher and regular salt, right?

It's pretty spot on. But we get the added advantage of having half the traditional dinner table taken up by heathen, godless, soul-condemned Native Americans. Which essentially invalidates any Christian claims of ownership.

One's blessed by a rabbi and is a lot lighter/flakier and better for cooking. The other has more of a mineral, metallic palate.

I'm just sayin'...

 

[ALC]

Ok, I was just wondering if there was something other than the Rabbi blessing, which apparently there is. I ask because I've seen recipes that call for Kosher salt but they're not Kosher

It's generally a much more preferred salt for cooking.

Happy Thanksgiving, rest of the world, because we all know that the USA's holidays are for everyone.

Eid is for faggots.

I'm not sure anyone else follows it to be honest, although there are plenty of fat bastards over here who might use it as an excuse just for today

No one celebrates Thanksgiving here. Weak ass holiday, our Carnaval Boliviano is the shit, way better than Thanksgiving.

One of my friends is studying English as a language at uni in Poland, I offered to proof read her work for her to help her develop English as an academic language. Most of this stuff is Linguistics, I dont have the first fucking idea about Linguistics. Im having to teach myself this stuff to be able to proof read what shes written.
