Happy Thanksgiving From Ephemeral Isle


In Britain we have Guy Fawkes Day. The American equivalent is Thanksgiving, where a whole turkey is immersed in a deep-fat fryer, which then overflows in a pyrotechnic spectacle that induces severe tics in insurance company executives.

Anyway, I'm off for some quality family time and cranberry sauce. Back on Saturday, but in the meantime, here's a bit of Thanksgiving history.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
