So how else do you do it then? Wear some feathers on your head and dance around the computer while chanting and beating a drum?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I’ve been in North America for a while now and there are still a bunch of cultural mainstays I just can’t get into: hockey, poutine, pumpkin pie, Ford F-150’s, ice storms... But I have to say that the pre-Christmas Turkey Day over indulgence, while slightly guilt inducing, is awesome
My understanding is that this is a time we say thanks for the things we have. In that spirit I'd like to say that in spite of the sheer hard work involved in running CodeProject, the flame wars, the server issues, the 24/7 nature of the internet, the bugs, complaints, the emails from the lost asking for just a little help, the industry egos and the insanely generous community we have, I’m thankful for every second of the last 20 years.
Happy Thanksgiving!
cheers

Of course, this is in Canada. In the US, Thanksgiving is in late November. When I worked in the US and people asked why Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving in early October, I told them it was because, by late November, there was no longer anything to be thankful for.

They were obviously feeding you a line of BS. By November you should be well into skiing season.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Chris, you can't get into Ford F-150's? I guess it depends on what you need. I remember an interview with an American farmer in The Economist, somewhere in the late '90s. He was rather blunt: "Pickup trucks built this country. I ain't hauling pigshit in a car." I was surprised that this made it verbatim into what is a rather staid publication.

Give thanks with a grateful heart.

I'm always surprised that the wannabe-a-USA-mini-me island of Australia never picked up on this turkey tradition
then again with no native turkeys the logical choice would be the cassowary[^]
[sizewise] bit closer to turkeys then emus
- but then again, like everything in straya, they want to kill you too.

Ahh but we do have a native turkey.
And they are delicious.
They are a protected species now though.
Called brush turkey, bush turkey, scrub turkey or gweela.
Pics here... and these little fellas don't want to kill us.

Ahhmmm Australian brushturkey - Wikipedia[^] we have them but they are protected and not domesticated. Cassowaries are nasty, grumpy birds with bloody big claws, also protected.

So am I - we take on so much of the US bullshit it is very dismaying. Thankfully we left guns out of our culture.

Isn't it like the anti-turkey day?
Turkeypocalypse?
Turkeygeddon?
Turkeycaust?
Today I'm thankful I'm not a turkey
Happy thanksgiving to you and CP though!

I guess that in the Soapbox, threads about "Turkey" would not have been about the bird.
