Book ,'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When I was a kid, I wondered if my whole reality (parents, siblings, fellow students) was all part of some elaborate scientific experiment on me.
Hmmm...when I was a kid, I wondered if my life was a dream, and that soon I'd wake up and it would be the real first day of kindergarten.
Maybe something in the water in that part of the country?
the saddest bunch of losers and dicks you would ever want to meet
Was the place open on Christmas too?
It's funny -- as someone to whom Thanksgiving means nothing (it used to bother me, but I'm over that now) reading all this is very interesting. I mean, I get Independence Day, since we have one, but the import of Turkey Day still escapes me.
I know I was surprised when I discovered that everything was made up for shrift instead of me.
So it is all about me? Huh. Didn't see that one coming.
You people are all nuts. Except askye, because I still don't believe that everyone sees colors the same way. How could we know??
I have like two more paragraphs of analysis and recommendations to write. I can do it, I can do it.
there is no way to know about the color thing! drives me nuts.
but the import of Turkey Day still escapes me.
Off the top of my head, I can't think why it is so importatnt... but it is. Maybe because it's so ingrained into our culture that this is the day you do food stuff with the family?
I beleive it was open on Christmas, ita. Thanksgiving is a big family holiday, so if you have family (one you are born into or one you have made for yourself), that's who you want to be with. It's a day devoted to conviviality, which I like a lot. Going to a strip club means you have no family or friends you want to be with and also that you aren't happy with your own company, so it self-selects for a really sorry group of men.
That doesn't hold for Christmas, though? Maybe Thanksgiving is more easily divested of its roots, and then ends up being all about family.
In Jamaica, Christmas is like that, whether you care who was born that day or not.
Back when I was a stripper, I worked on Thanksgiving one year. Talk about sad, the guys who come into a strip club on Thanksgiving day are the saddest bunch of losers and dicks you would ever want to meet.
How I Met Your Mother had a bit about that last night.
That is true about Christmas, but if you are not Christian, Christmas doesn't mean anything, where Thanksgiving is for everybody.
