We roast a chicken every sunday in britain
All the meal, every weekend, all year round, and then on Christmas we just multiply it by 10.

I'm not fat.
Also, in time-honoured tradition, (insert jibe about how Thanksgiving is really a celebration about stealing everything from the Native Americans).
Sorry, but it really kinda is.
I spoke to an American colleague at work today. I asked him if he was gonna celebrate Thanksgiving at home (not intending to be rude, just asking for sake of conversation), and HE said HE has a problem with Thanksgiving because of the aforementioned reasons BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO SAY ANYTHING.
So I'm not just being an asshole, 'kay?

Every year I wish for the Pikachu balloon to end up floating away and terrorizing the populace.
Maybe this'll be the year...

I want that balloon to end up at my house now.
Did Jay Sean look like he was lip-syncing?

I hate the announcers now, they show NO emotion when describing Pikachu! Like they were reading it straight of the Pokemon website itself
