HAPPY THANKSGIVING
(or "Thanksglutton" for those in the know)

First, go read this if only to make sure you're not taken in by the bullshit mythology surrounding what is, for me anyway, not a bad idea for a holiday. Next, kick off your shoes, loosen your belt, and maybe the top button of your pants, and relax. 'Cause, you see, I've found on Youtube a copy of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. The sound track is a bit off and the final minute or two is cut, but, you know, it's an illegal upload and all; on the other hand, it's still worth watching. The highlight for me is the sequence where Snoopy and Woodstock set up the furniture for the kids' outside feast, culminating in a fight between the clever thinking dog and a come-to-life lawnchair, all scored by a groovy early 70s jazz tune. And of course, my favorite cartoon lesbian, Peppermint Patty, is prominently featured--her absence is a fatal flaw for both the Halloween and Christmas Peanuts specials.

Anyway, go check it out. And have a turkey sandwich.





By the way, no post Thursday for obvious reasons. I'll be back late Friday afternoon, hopefully, with some cat blogging pics, and then maybe a little something else that night.
