Happy Turkey Day to all, especially those of you who, like me, are veggie, or just generally despise Thanksgiving dinner. Why can’t there be a national holiday where we all sit around and eat Chinese food?
There is one thing the Thanksgiving break is good for, and that’s four straight days of Twilight Princess. 80+ hours? Now that’s a holiday.

Because the Pilgrims didn’t land in Shanghai? :)

Uh, there is. It’s called “Christmas day when you’re Jewish.”

Have fun, and happy… (holy?) day gaming marathon to you.

Just wait a few years, give it time and it will surely come.

I get to eat Chinese food. :) My stepmom is Chinese and always provides a (non-Thanksgiving themed) feast when I go and visit her and Dad.

Well, just convert and you can join right in. See? And they say religious differences are tricky.

“- Have you ever thought about converting to hinduism ?
- Well, yes, I must say I’ve been interested in it for quite some time now. I’d really like to.
- You can’t. Sorry.”

:( I’m gonna have to find a Wii. I feel like a betrayer not having a Zelda game on release, and my GC is back in Washington.

Okay, but I am Jewish, and I still don’t get enough Chinese food in my life. Alas, religion has failed.

Not if you feel guilty about it.
