Thanksgiving

[idahoblues]

When I was over there we stayed in a bed and breakfast, went down in the morning looking forwards to bacon, eggs or cereal etc. It was just cakes.

I hope you didn’t stay more than one night

I hope you didn’t stay more than one night

Yeah 2 weeks, had no choice. We went out for breakfast after that though.

I quite like watching the games in the morning as opposed to the afternoon unless
I’m actually going to game in person.Much less time for the nerves to kick in.

I enjoy it too, as a good Fuzzy Navel in the AM in my City Pint glass is my go-to with my EPL breakfast.

A group of American mates have persuaded me to watch Monday night football
nit sure it’s a game I’m gonna take to, especially when the QB runs off the pitch!

I mostly avoid the NFL, but it is worth experiencing, especially if you are with invested fans.

I find the EPL and UCL enthusiasm (chants, singing in the stands, etc.) and passion is closer to the college football experience than the NFL.

UM v ohio is the big one, hopefully your Go Blue ref is to Michigan and fingers crossed for that one.

There is only one Go Blue in college football and you are spot on - Cheers, mate!

Speaking of Thanksgiving, the *only* year I didn't go home for the holiday was when as a student there, and we had the home game on Saturday in A2. Great win and memory. No regrets to get to experience the Game in person.

Beat Liverpool, and Beat Ohio! ;-)

If done properly, you are in for a treat. Slow and steady wins that race!

Any *good* (pork or brisket) barbecue you've had has been similarly smoked.

I've asked her to send me some pictures, I love the food in North Carolina especially the independent barbeque places always make a beeline for one when I go over and see her, the beef brisket is the best I have ever tasted

It's simple food done well, I also like the unpretentious way . food in trays etc all very casual

I was supposed to be in Michigan a couple of years ago for thanksgiving and my plans got changed and didn’t happen which I was gutted about. Went to a few Michigan games back in the early 2000’s and they were brilliant. Ann Arbor was a fun town and plenty of good nights out there.

I'm just thinking that wouldn't it be nice if the Americans celebrated 1812 on our behalf as well?

:-O

By the dawn’s early light!

is the right answer.

 

[blueish swede]

Fuck me that’s national traitors day thought everyone knew that.

The interregnum anniversary, as I used to call it when I was over there.

Reaches for dictionary :-)

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I always thought thanksgiving was celebrated on July 4th?

Educate yourself, man. It's on the last Thursday in November, for future reference. Fuck knows why.

Next Thursday is the last Thursday in the month

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Thanks.I need to educate myself.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Should it be the 4th Thursday in November?

Believe it was traditionally end of Red Indian shooting season. :-)

That makes sense. Nowt a plate of turkey won't smooth over.

'Corn in sort of a savoury custard.'

I am sorry Buck but that is just Satans cocksnot.

Americans are funny, and weird as fuck..



And fat.

Sweet corn is a big thing here, have you ever tried it? In my part of Pennsylvania they grow tons of it and everybody eats corn on the cob in the summer. A lot of people also cut it off the cob and freeze it for the winter, it's so damn good.

It’s a shame you nasty racist old Euros were so mean to the natives

 

[Barcon]

When does the cousin fucking begin?

The natives loved the red coated pony soldiers, it all went wrong where a bunch of traitors took over and were very nasty to them. No longer had us nice British folks to look out for them. :-)
