Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year; one of the reasons I love it so much is the gnosis surrounding the holiday: the fact that there is the legend, but also some facts behind it. The feast of 1621 was actually intended to thank God for the bountiful harvest, because previously they were almost wiped out from famine! Anyway,… Read more »
I’ll put this on the Friday comments when it shows up. Found this interesting, I didn’t know the technology was this good. Must get out of the bunker more.

The banner is sort of an homage to the “Four flags over Hamous”. American, Southern, Floridian, and Texan. I hadn’t noticed that the 13 star version of the first national flag of the CSA was used. I had meant for the 7 star version of the stars & bars to be used. Not sure why he used that one. Its… Read more »
Headshaker;
It’s good to have a headshaking siting today. A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, sir.

I always enjoy good moral messages recognizing God as the center of all our nation’s blessings Thank you for posting the one from Lincoln.
We just returned home about and hour and half ago from Mrs. Darren’s cousin’s house. We had turkey, ham (you can guess which I chose to fill my plate with, devilled (sp?) eggs, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peanut butter pie, banana pie, cherry pie, chocolate pudding pie, pumpkin pie, and a couple others I didn’t catch while there. We ate, let… Read more »

Thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

Oletimer;
I’m very happy to have heard some goods news from you yesterday. God bless.
#36 Thanks for the invite but we rarely get out of Houston. I would not even know what direction to head out to find San Leon. Sounds like a nice spot though.
#34, Okay, the flag as anticipated versus the number states that actually stood up for their rights. If you are dining at the Top Water Grill in San Leon and see a little Catalina 22 sail by flying the Burnett, Bonnie Blue, or Confederate Naval Flag/Bars & Stars, give me a shout. I’ll tack back and buy a few beers.
Well, I’m back home after stuffing myself at my sister’s house. We play Pictionary after dinner, and tonight one sister and I were in total sync. Four turns in a row – me drawing, her guessing, and two of them were difficult – resulted in the beginning of a rout. The girls’ team crushed the men. CRUSHED them! hahahahahahahahaaaa! I… Read more »

Well, it was a Texas-themed website where I found that one match.
http://txscv.tripod.com/csa.htm
If you check there, mute your speaker, they have an annoying tinny drum-a-tat-tat soundtrack.
Not one of the celebrated six flags over Texas, but this is one that briefly flew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_the_Rio_Grande The Burnett (gold star on blue field) and Bonnie Blue also flew during the days of the Republic. I don’t get the Bars and Stars with a star in the center either. I think Semmes struck the seven star circle flag when the… Read more »
LOL my daughter’s boyfriend came over and bought it from me. I’ll stick with my Sig Sauer P229.
Headshaker: friendly neighbourhood family pawnbroker.
Ok, it looks like when you change your name you automatically get kicked back into having to have your first comment approved. That’s why the n42s are getting held up.
Hamous, I’ve been meaning to ask about the Stars and Bars flag on your blog banner. It has 13 stars and one is in the center. In online research (not exhaustive by any means), I have found only one website that pictures your particular flag. Mostly, the 13-star Confederate flag I find has all 13 in a circle. I did… Read more »
Is it made by ‘Airsoft’ ?
good grief, Do you have a clue how it works? Did it come with any of those bullet thingies?
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The highlight of my day was my sister-in-law coming by desperate for money, so she sold me her new .38 long barrel for $50. LOL.

Not on yer life. 😉

So, will we soon see the handle Pyro42 here?

OTL seems to think Fortytwoism is a medical problem…
#19 Oltimer, Monday you asked if non-theists were being hypocritical by celebrating Thanksgiving. I replied, “not at all” and offered these facts. The tradition of post-harvest fall festivals predates all contemporary religions by thousands of years. A connection to the supernatural is neither sufficient nor necessary for them to happen, but I see no harm in folks making the connection… Read more »
#19 Oletimer Washington first proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving in 1789 and again in 1795. But it was Lincoln who formalized it as a national holiday with a fixed day of observance in 1863. This is a link to a great 2005 column by the always brilliant David Gelernter about Lincoln and Thanksgiving. A sample here: On that misty April… Read more »

I think they need to change the “O” to “A”, and the “W” to “O” and drop the “fers”
Sure it’s not fortytwofers?
#15 Texpat 27 OletimerLin says: November 22, 2010 at 10:29 am From my straightening out Bob Monday about Thanksgiving: #23 Bob My take on Thanksgiving. I could be wrong, but this is what we were taught back before revisionist history. The religious day of thanksgiving and the harvest festival evolved into a single event: a yearly Thanksgiving, proclaimed by individual… Read more »
Happy Thanksgiving all. Mugly 72 again this morning at 6, breezy from the south again, leaves whirling through the yard then going onto the driveway and some piling up against the pasture fence. Soon the north wind will reverse their travels, knocking more down and bringing a rain of acorns and pecans. The wildlife will have a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner.… Read more »

Janet called and said she would review the tape before allowing me to post it.

Dang, man, you stole my pity pot for health issues on a holiday. Yours sound really serious. I’m sending a double knee mail via Divine Delivery for you and yours. Needless to say, keep us posted.
. ..I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend… Read more »
Thanks guys.
Oletimer, will be on the look out for YouTubes of family groping the turkey!
Fortytwoers: You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a… Read more »
Another exciting science discovery.
Just think of what this can do for hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
Tim, here’s hoping for a clear diagnosis and a speedy recovery for your father.
Wow. Kneemail on the way, GJT. I’ll be in mass this morning, so I’ll offer up your dad in front of Jesus for you.
Kneemail request My dad got put in the hospital Monday, they said he had/was in a diabetic coma and are finding a host of other issues. Right now a blood clot in his stomach is job one. Blood thinners have not helped, surgery not an option on clots. Idiots at the hospital have willy nilly thrown out the c word… Read more »
OMG! The fortytwopolyism insurgency infiltration has began, get out while you can!
Welcome, Dude42. The tribe is growing. Wear the handle with pride but beware the pitfalls of a logical deficiency that one of the guys here has labelled “Fortytwoism”…
I don’t remember all the symptoms but some were constant promotion of pot, constant complaints about WoD and Two-Party Duopoly, tendency to post links here to sleazy material on the internet, etc.
God’ blessings on us all. I am thankful for my belly-button family, my church family, by blogger family, a roof over my head, food in my tummy, loving children (not on drugs!), a computer that works, my health, and a host of other things. I’m even grateful for barf kitty, for all her snuggles and purring. I am extremely grateful… Read more »
I wish the happiest of Thanksgiving Days to all the Hamsters.
Happy Thanksgiving all!!! Per mharper42’s suggestion, I will henceforth be “Dude42”. I am thankful for good suggestions, the number 42 and a whole host of other stuff. Today’s menu includes brined / smoked turkey, smoked Boston butt pork roast (sat atop the Turkey all night long!), an oven bird, a turducken, cornbread dressing, sweet potato marshmallowy type stuff, pies of… Read more »
Hamous, from yesterday. Thanks for the Florida history book tip. It looks really good. In the same genre, my favorite Texas historian is J. Frank Dobie. Short bio. James Frank Dobie (September 26, 1888–September 18, 1964) was an American folklorist, writer, and newspaper columnist best known for many books depicting the richness and traditions of life in Texas ranging from… Read more »
With the whole clan coming in from all over, I think I will start a new tradition.
Every one will point to the place on the turkey that they were groped on at the airport.
G’Morning all
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Hope every one has a long list of things to be thankful for, I know I do. Have a good turkey, good football or whatever turns you on.
