Best Wishes to all the US people who frequent CLC, (whether you lurk
or post), for a pleasant Thanksgiving.
Lest we forget, the original Pilgrims were religious zealots. With guns.


But didn't Thanksgiving come into being at the time of Abe Lincoln?

Nope - try 1621, long before the greatest Republican President was even
born. :)


So these gun totin', Bible thumpin' interlopers brought the custom with
them?

There weren't any turkeys back in Cromwell's England.

Guess that's why they left...
