Fucking Americans, always fucking things up.

(I'm angry because I can't celebrate it too)

[sloppycronkite.livejournal.com]

I just don't like turkey.

 

IT IS A FIENDISH BIRD.

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

lol omg that is just so cute:3 I WANT TO HUG IT FOREVER.

[sloppycronkite.livejournal.com]

NOO, LOUISE. DON'T GIVE INTO ITS YARNED CHARM.

 

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

That turkey is the Monica Lewinksy of the Bush era.

Best caption ever for that:



He was looking for weapons of mass destruction. ;^P

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

lmao you are amazing in every way.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

Aw, now I'm all shy thanks to your praise and can't finish a sentence:



OR A TERM AS GOVERNOR! *rimshot*

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

haha awwww<3

lol, this once, I'll allow Sarah gifs is my journal. (did you hear about her calling NORTH KOREA allies?

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

I'm frankly surprised that she, with her marvy knowledge of geography (HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH SCHOOL AND NEVER LEARN THAT AFRICA IS A CONTINENT AND NOT A COUNTRY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR KOOL-AID DRINKING FOLLOWERS BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT WAS BORN THERE?!) even knows there is a North Korea.

I personally am gagging at her "reality" show which my mother who, despite loathing Palin and her politics, LOVES ("I want to visit Alaska! I've always loved Alaska. That's the only reason I'm watching this!").

I have also recently learned (although it's old news) that Palin wants to be buddies with Hillary Clinton. I'd pay to be able to watch that meeting.

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

ugh, haven't seen it, never want to.

and lol omg good luck with that. Hillary is way to smart for her.

LJ IS SO AMERICA-PRIVILEGED!

Thanksgiving is a bullshit holiday* to end to bullshit holidays, my little Danish lamb chop. Be glad it doesn't exist in your country. :^\

Bee tee dubs, you want to know scary? My younger brother works for Walmart (wait, it gets worse) and you know what time he has to go into work for "Black Friday"? MIDNIGHT. I shit you not. Ah, the joys of a retail "Christmas"!

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

aww "Danish lamb chop", haha :3. Yeah, isn't it celebrating murder or something? :/.

what the fuckD: that sucks!

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

It's a theft a of Pagan holiday(s) (what else is new?) under the guise of some white-washed history (ditto). I'm fine with the idea that it's a time to give thanks (the idea of the Pagan "Harvest Home" festivals) but the happy horseshit about the pilgrims and the "Indians" powwowing makes my inner Howard Zinn scream.

But then, I'm biased. ;^) I'm of both "Indian" extraction (Sioux and Cherokee) and one of my ancestors has been traced back to one of the ships that followed the Mayflower (so yes, my ancestors sat on both sides of the Thanksgiving table as well as owning my other ancestors-- I have a depressing history) which I like to think is the early cresting of why my mother's family fights during nearly all holiday dinners. :^P

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

ahhh I see.

Holy shit, that's weird to think about:O. and I lol'd ngl. Then I felt guilty.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

Don't feel bad-- I thought it was pretty funny. ;^) I come from a long line of oppressed minorities. And hey, they ended up "getting together" in the end! (ewww... I just thought of my great-great-great-great-whatever-great grandparents doing it)

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

aww :2

and lmao, omg, dnw ever.

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Thanksgiving is the only holiday I like. :P

Edit - And yes, I understand the reasons you're against it. I know the holiday's actual origins. For me, it's about the fact that Thanksgiving is the only holiday where my family has generally come together and treated each other with respect.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry that you're a privileged murdering racist bigot who prizes the comfort of the privileged over the rights of the disenfranchised.

I never said I was against Thanksgiving, lady. :^P I am against the bullshit "history" behind it (for the record, I feel the same way about St. Patrick's Day-- driving the snakes out of Ireland is just a euphemism for religious cleansing). If one celebrates the core of Thanksgiving, the Pagan part, which is giving thanks for the harvest (whatever the harvest may be), it's all good (in the hood). I just don't (like I said) like the BS.

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I know you didn't, which is why I did the little :P thing. Sometimes, it's not clear when I'm giving you shit, is it? I'll have to work on that.

And I feel that way about most holidays. Most have a bullshit history.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

To be fair, you firstly gave me the little :( so I wasn't sure if you were really serious or didn't want me to know that I'd offended youse (not my intention, obvsly).

Really, I'm FARRRRR more pissed off by Memorial Day meaning fun 'n' sun fuckfest for people than a day of actually honoring our war dead. Thanksgiving at least is good for foodies (and aspiring foodies like myself) and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (I'm still a sucker for the floats).

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Which is why I edited it to make it more clear. I'm sorry it didn't work. :(

My grandfather really hates Memorial Day for the same reason.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

LJ's editing is sucky, it's true. I'm just glad I (hopefully) didn't make you a sadly. ♥ We all should be allowed to like whatever holidays we like and have that be it.

People bash the Fourth of July, but from what I see, at least it's celebrated "properly"; better people save their summer revelry for then and not Memorial Day. Reminds me of this bitchy post I made; the Opus cartoon really did make me cry the first time I saw it (yeah, I'm lame like that).

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

And wait wait wait... you don't like Halloween? :^(
Halloween is such a happy, diversity-loving holiday (I actually have heard it referred numerous times as "the queer Christmas").

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Nope. I spent most of my childhood too sick to leave my bed on Halloween. I've never been able to get into it.

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm sorry, lady. :^( That truly sucks. You should have at least gotten candy and Halloween specials! (I still enjoy the Disney Halloween specials from the '80s on the same wheezy VHS tape).

Now of course I want to throw you a big gay Halloween party-- complete with foodie Halloween yums and costumery.
GOOD costumery, not that bagged "sexy" shit, too (the very worst aspect of Halloween IMO-- save for maybe the "Religious" Reich nutjobs saying it's Satan's holiday).



Sorry, Louise-- I think I've hijacked your post. *shamez*
