Thanksgiving in the U.S. - the Internet is ours!
November 24th, 2005 by Bill
Thursday is Thanksgiving in the United States. This is a big deal. So the Internet - the blogosphere - is likely to be a very lonely place. But …
It is also an opportunity. Now the rest of us can talk about those Americans behind their back! Ah ha! They won’t be listening. They’ll be drinking and eating turkey and watching football games between college schools no one has ever heard of. Ah ha! Look - Captain Crunch has tossed 2 TDs in the Cereal Bowl. Ah ha!
Oh those pesky Americans! Why can’t they pronounce foyer properly? Hmm? Why do they insist on “foy-yurr” instead of the more appropriate “foy-ay?” Why can’t they do that? It’s roots are French - when did any French person ever say “err?” It’s “foy-ay!”
But that’s a small thing. I’ll tell you what bugs me about those frustrating Americans. For every Louis Armstrong they give us, they give us a Britney Spears. (Of course, Canadians are not responsible for giving Americans Celine Dion - I’m sure that must be an American’s fault. It couldn’t possibly be ours.)
For every Albert Brooks, they give us Carrot Top. What’s wrong with those people anyway? (Yes, I know Canada gave the them Howie Mandell, but let’s not be picky about this.)
My point? I have none. Except to say, now is your chance to whine about America because they’re all partying! None of them are online now. Well, okay maybe a few are. But those people aren’t important. If you have a bitch, now’s the time to voice it!
America! You are eating turkey and watching football but the rest of us are working! And if we are not working, we are mocking you! Ah ha! Ah ha!

This has to rank as one of my stupidest posts. Still, I like it ’cause it’s so silly.
It is, actually, pretty funny. And America got Celine because they keep buying her damn records. WE get to keep Jann Arden (who probably is not as excited about that as we might wish).
