RobertKB Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Happy Thankgiving to all my fellow Canadians on the forum. I did dinner for 14 yesterday and will catch up on rest today. I am thankful for many things..... including this forum. Canadian Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday of October. Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Same to you Robert and everyone else that is observing Canadian Thanksgiving. Today at our house it's turkey, sweet & sour meatballs, stuffing gravy, mashed taters, lemon pies, homemade buns and twisty bread. Life is good, and I havea lot to be thankful for this harvest season.....Fred Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I am sure I speak for all the non-Canadian members on this forum when I say HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL. Indeed, we all have very much to be thankful for including the fellowship of this forum. Eat well and enjoy. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 not sure if this is proper T-giving food...but mums made one super good pot of clam chowder... Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 not sure if this is proper T-giving food...but mums made one super good pot of clam chowder... I would say it's "fitting", clams, Plymouth Rock(er I mean P15), the ocean, Thanksgiving, hey why not.... Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Happy Thanksgiving to you guys up north. It's Columbus Day here today, but I have not seen Columbus yet? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Norm..to the best of my knowledge C. Columbus did not go down the St. Lawerence Seaway..however Lief may have been a tad closer to you.. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Tim, That is true, but I've had my long range spy glass out and I still did not see Columbus. You are much closer than I. Have you seen him? Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Norm, when your neighbors walk by and see you on your roof with your spyglass, do they say, "There he is. He's looking for Columbus again. Don't say anything. Just keep walking." Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to our friends up north. I'd like to get up there for the holiday some time. I spent a memorable night once in a place called Sherbrooke, near Montreal. The less said about that the better. I also recall a place called Magogue from that unfortunate incident as well. Went to old Quebec for my honeymoon, rambled around Montreal a bit, and drove along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Never been to the west except to view the mountains in Canada from Glacier National Park.

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 this is Gerogia...if Chris Columbus were to show up here he best be in dennim, t-shirt, with a pernament "copenhagen" ring on the back pocket, 4 wheel drive pickup with a minimum of mudders, a 4" lift plus a winch...an air-gate (for to be green supportative) with a mesh small enough to keep the beer cans from rolling out..bumper sticker that says "Hold my Beer and Watch This" or "pass with care..tobacco chewer" Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I can imagine him showing up with that cockeyed hat and the frilly collar. Strolling into the local feed store or corner bar in his breeches, stockings, and buckle shoes. To quote Fred Willard, "If you're going to dress like that in my neighborhood, you'd BETTER be the hotel doorman." Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Wishing the best for all of our Caniadian freinds. not sure if this is proper T-giving food...but mums made one super good pot of clam chowder... Mums is plurul not singular. Mum is singular. Whoops this was written by the two wifed man. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys up north. It's Columbus Day here today' date=' but I have not seen Columbus yet?[/quote']Norm; Columbus is easy to see. Look about 7 months behind the easter bunny tracks in the Wisconsin snow. Whoops I forgot the snow melts in the summer in wishikudsin. OK look for the frozen wake behind the Pinta, the Niña, or the Santa María Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I think Columbus came out of his hole today, saw his shadow, and it's gonna be early cold weather in many places. Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canuks. First the turkey, then the nap. Quote
greg g Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I know where columbus is, (at least according to Clive Cuslter) History ironically shows that apparently he did not know where he was, until he went back. What I don't get is why we have a holiday for a guy form Italy working for the Spanish crown who happened to stumble into an Island in the Caribbean sea just before his crew was about to throw his lost butt overboard. But we do have a nice statue in his honor. It is best known as the site of the annual demonstration by the Onondage Nation protesting his cruelty to the indiginous people of those Islands. The statue is facing Northwest, apparently still confused. Any way Happy Holiday. By the way why do you fellows need to say Canadian Thanksgiving??? If you're having Thanksgiving in Canada, it goes without saying. You don't need to splain it to us. Good one Bob T.................. Edited October 13, 2009 by greg g Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Thank ya, Greg. Thank ya very much. (I'll be leaving the auditorium real soon.) Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 actually my take on that statue is this...Chris's foot is right on the edge of the platform..this is symbolic of the underling thought..maybe the world is flat after all, the look on his face is one of supressed fear of taking that big step forward.. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Boy, Tim, that was really analytical. Quote
RobertKB Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 Although Columbus made four (some say five) voyages to the "New World", he apparently never set foot on what is now known as North America. Maybe he should have, and we would be living in North Columbia instead of a continent named after a cartographer. Quote
randroid Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Folks, To quote The Firesign Theater, "God bless Vespuciland". It all sounds like a party to me. -Randy Quote
