wank for thanksgiving! Over at CuteOverload, Meg ruins Thanksgiving. How does she do this so handily, you ask? Why, she posts a picture of a cute little speckle-headed baby turkey. Cue coos and awws, along with a few "how can I eat a turkey now?"s and "wow, I've never been happier to be vegan." But the real wank starts in response to Val's message, "Please have a compassionate, animal-free Thanksgiving xoxo" Okay, so first there are some reasonable responses: Constance notes that she tries to have a compassionate Thanksgiving by delivering turkeys to less privileged families who can't afford them, and says calmly "eating meat doesn't mean you love animals" (I'm waiting for someone to add "and I loooove to eat them!") But then people start telling stories about turkeys gone wild. Turns out turkeys are omgmean, and will chase you in the parking lots of downtown Tulsa. Oh, and flocks of wild turkeys wake you up at 4:30a.m. By the way, turkeys really are stupid enough to drown in the rain (it's true! MamaDawn has a friend who grew up on a turkey farm!) Derik finally puts the meat of the argument on the table by saying Thanksgiving = turkey slaughter day. But some commenters cheerfully persist in their awful cute-turkey-killing, meat-eating ways. Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (yes, that's the sig), says: That wee turkey is so cute I could just gobble gobble it up! Count me among the thankful, Thanksgiving meat eaters...Turkey & roast beef!! & mashed potatoes & corn & stuffing & pumpkin pie & black olives & deviled eggs and, and, and... Yummsville! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it all! Potential religious angle on the meat eating thing when AuntieMame tells Derik he sounds like an idiot, and then sniffs that "There's no irony in being thankful for the food God gave you to eat." Of course, special mention should go to the wacky Robert (who emoticon-winks at the crowd to let them know he's a-ok): "Goo-goo all you want, soy-freaks. He's mine, and I'm introducing him to my fryer. ;)" Dig in! |
