As Thanksgiving approaches, I pause to reflect on it's meaning. Of course that is difficult, with all the business this day requires. But it is important to clearly think of all the suffering, turmoil, angst, misery, destruction, and suffering, turmoil, angst, misery, destruction and most importantly the suffering,
turmoil, angst, misery, destruction and not to mention the suffering, turmoil, angst, misery, destruction that allows us to enjoy this day.
So what is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is the day that we pay homage to the wargod Morlock, by severing our ties to mortality by literally carving off a body limb. This literal 'symbolism', connects our soul to the infinite desire for immortality through a psychic connection with the demons that lie dormant within our pancreas.
But Thanksgiving is much more than that.
Thanksgiving day was founded in the early days of America's founding, when visitors from across a great ocean discovered a dark & mysterious continent inhabited by uncivilized half-humans that had little faith in christianity, nor more importantly capitalism. The year was 1843. I am positive that was the date, I remember it from 4th grade.
Ok, it might have been 3rd grade. But I know it was the year 1843 because that was the same year that Hitler came to power in Germany.
Anyways, the pilgrims that settled on the shores of Nebraska were greeted by an angry mob of Indians! The pilgrims were like, "hey, why can't we all just get along?", but the Indians - high on their chutney wanted to kill the pilgrims. So they did. They marched the pilgrims to a hill & made them take their clothes off & nailed them on crosses. After a while they were buried in caves and the
Indians thought that was that.
But on the 7th day, the pilgrims came back to life because they were just pretending to be dead & snuck out of their caves & killed all the Indians!
They then shot fireworks, carved some eggs up with scary faces, hid pumpkins & enjoyed a game of caged rabbit-fighting.
So thank your lucky stars & make sure you wear green on Thanksgiving - because if you don't the pilgrims will scale down the chimney & slit your throat while you sleep!
