Random Thanksgiving Roundup and OTP

Filed under: Holyday Yaks, Just Yaks, Random Linkfests — Random Yak @ 2:49 am on November 23, 2006

Having already posted our Thanksgiving wishes, and not yet ready to turn things over to the turkey (literally, in this case) to liveblog thetrain wreck in waiting Cowboys/Buckaneers game, I thought I’d share a roundup of Thanksgiving posts and wishes from elsewhere around the ‘nets. Here’s your Thanksgiving reading list and roundup:

1. If you read one link from this list, it should be this article at third world county. Go, read, reflect. More to the point: I know CPR. Do you?

2. Video clipand must-seeof the day: Cigar Intelligence Agency. Answers the age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road?

3. basil has the President’s 2006 Thanksgiving proclamation and some thanksgiving thoughts over at basil’s blog.

4. The Anchoress hopes you have a nice Thanksgiving. (OK, actually, she “Hopes it’s good for you“). Post features some food links and a photo of the President “talkin turkey” withthe troops.

5. C.A. Marks at Alabama Improper has your photo of the day with White Trash Christmas decorations.

6. Thanksgiving thoughts on politics and illegal immigration at Freedom Folks.

7. The Bull (of The Bull Speaks) hasa list of things he is grateful for this Thanksgiving.

8. For those thinking food: Pursuing Holiness has a recipe for Cranberry Relish (not particularly relishing cranberries myself, I can’t evaluate this one, but go check it out).

And lest you think you had a hard time getting home for the holidays, a group of wild turkeys was recently refused service on a commuter train in New Jersey, despite waiting politely on the platform for some time.

Granted, they didn’t actually pay the fare, but I have it on good authority they would have been willing to sacrifice at least one of their number to the dinner table to get the rest of them on board. It all goes to show you – once the turkeys learn they’re welcome in Washington, D.C., they’re bound to start showing up everywhere(Horn tip: Pillage Idiot).

This is also a Thanksgiving-through-Sunday Open Trackback Post (since our initial OTP fell off the front page, it seemed a nicer thing to do). Open Trackbacks now through Sunday night (assuming you’re not too turkey-and-gravied out to post, link, click). Tracked to Linkfest Haven.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all who happens by here. It seemed appropriate to share some pictures I took on a visit to Boston a couple of years ago.
