Since you asked for it, Matt, a bit of history: The year 1621 brought us not only the first Thanksgiving, but the first Thanksgiving Day football game.

Naturally, it was the Pilgrims vs. the Indians. The Indians, not wanting to be politically incorrect, wore a picture of a Native American on their helmets. By helmet, I mean a decorative maple leaf, which covers the loins.

Records show that they used a thirty-five-pound turkey as a football. It is hard to throw a spiral with a thirty-five-pound turkey, and darn near impossible to kick one through the uprights, so the ground game was key. And the Indians, running silently in their moccasins so as not to be detected by the defense, racked up touchdown after touchdown, although their dancing in the end zone was seen as bad sportsmanship. The Pilgrims were encouraged by lone cheerleader Hester Prynne, who shouted from the sidelines, “Gimme an ‘A’!” … - Turkeyball.

note: I hope everyone has a nice thanksgiving day. I don’t have my hardrive with me, so this is whatever I can wip up from my little SD card that is on my laptop. Sort of little thanksgiving feast, almost random combination of crazy holiday meal that you always suspect your gramm makes the whole thing up just so she can show off her cooking skill. So here is brightly color songs in minor keys, something about boy chasing girl, fall in love, breaks his heart, becoming a little wiser and falling in love again, and live happily ever after. All in a single thanksgiving afternoon. Enjoy.
