I love the header pic with kitty in sink; it reminds me of one I have of a big male gray cat we had who curled up in a bowl of raw Brussels Sprout with that happy look on his kitty face!

Sorry but I couldn’t listen to more than a few seconds of either song. As my kids used to say “Gag me with a spoon. “. The cat visuals were great.

The best Thanksgiving song is anything from Bob's Burgers' many thankgiving episode (the show's specialty). There are like 13 now? But Linda's songs are the best.

I’m going to write a viral Tik Tok song about Thanksgiving. Inspired by that ridiculous “sitting” song. Here goes…

Giving is the opposite of taking.

Giving is congruent with the loving.

Loving is what we do while we’re eating.

And turkey is the opposite of ham.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for the giving.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the sharing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the loving.

Turkey is the opposite of ham.

A pretty decent Thanksgiving song:

Dar Williams - The Christians And The Pagans

I think the original parody artist David A. Scott had to take down his Literal Videos, but Friday has been reposted by somebody else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aog72Hw1k5w

Total Eclipse of the Heart is hilarious also too.

There was one they did for Journey's "Separate Ways" whic is absolutely hysterical, but it appears to have been totally erased from the internet.

Have you all thought about spacing these 'events' across the year instead of slamming them all together into the last couple of months? There seems to be a fanatical need to 'enjoy the season' that borders on the obsessive. And it ain't fair on the turkeys. Won't someone think about the turkeys?

This is why in Canuckland we do this in October. Gives us more evenly spaced holidays and we can still get in on Black Friday sales, but with no guilt since everyone here had to work anyway.

Socialist hell-hole!! But without crocodiles, nearly invisible killer jellyfish and murder budgies! How do you people cope.......................... eh?

Our attack animals have to do it the old fashioned way by stomping or chomping. Like elk or bison, some of them simply grow to insane size and make you into a goo pile if you get too close. Others, like bears, coyotes or wolves, they eat you up with big teeth.

I will admit our poisonous stuff is subpar in comparison to yours. We only have like one poisonous snake here and it’s a rattler so it warns us. So yeah, subpar.

However, even our cute animals are trying to murder us, but more subtly. Like, gophers dig a zillion holes all over so you break an ankle, and beavers will flood you out of house and home.

They have to work harder to kill us here!

It ain't a competition. But we ended up with the only population of wild camels. in the world.

Camels. Like this entire place needed one more animal.

If it helps, we're going with duck this time around.

My calico Basta is almost 21. I'ma pretend Thanksgiving is her birthday (she's a street rescue so we have no clue exactly)(Never mind that we already celebrated it in August, same day as Madonna's). Every year. Maybe none of my in-laws will notice the date changes. Watch for the video!

Hmmmm...

Don't like heavy metal, don't like yachts, "insulating" layer of blubber, could I be an orca without knowing it?

That's my cat! I was wondering where he got to. Seriously, I have an almost identical gray tabby - right down to the pale lines around his eyes - who used to curl up in the bathroom sink. He's graduated to the bathtub now.

I also had a grey tabby exactly like that, who also as well liked to curl up in the sink. His name was Loofah
