just a few words about this traditional holiday...


 goddamit, every fukkin' year it's gotta be turkey... okayokayokay, sure y'all know the old silverback's been going thru his usual seasonal disorder, but we cannot let this particular holiday pass without mention of a couple of things, and of course, you needn't stay for long, but do check out some of the links included, first a couple of quotations from fellow curmudgeon Samuel Clemens; some info re the myth of our national celebration; these next three links (named after typical holiday menu items) relate to other versions of the first thanksgiving: turkey, stuffing,
the ubiquitous green-bean casserole (wha' AGAIN?!?!?!);
a couple of alternative viewpoints here and here (yah, we went light on these,
not wanting to inflict a huge pall over the afternoon football extravaganza).
we doing a similiar trick, taking part in something that has become somewhat of a tradition, t-day held at chez dumbmonkey, w/the monkey momz & popz in town, Brother K, Liz-beth & young monkeys, and despite those moments where we thinks to ourselves "how long must this go on" and variants there-of, we are really very thankful (thankyouvurrymuch) 'cause we realize (most of the time, there are other times when it takes someone hitting us over the head with it) the dumbmonkey is
truly one lucky son-of-a-monkey.
if you happen to be with someone you love and care for, get up and go give em a big embrace, maybe a kiss or two (depending on the propriety of it, don't wanna cause any holiday disasters) and let 'em know (1) that you care, (2) that you damn thankful they in your life, (3) & that you gotzum planz fer sumtink tonite when the charade's all over and itz time to really show 'em how much ya care, cuz dat's da best kinda givin'...
peace to all you katz & kitteez
