Conspiracies?

I was just telling yet another friend that I would be gone for Thanksgiving when I was quickly reminded that that friend was in Canada, where this Thursday's feast doesn't apply... I responded with the random statement I soon afterwards put in my sig. "Yeah... 'tis an American conspiracy designed to promote Benjamin Franklin's suggestion to adopt the turkey over the bald eagle as the national bird." Anyone think there is any merit in this late-night chocolate-hyperactivity-induced hallucination of turkeyness-related madness that may or may not be dragon related?? What of other just as crazy holiday-related theories? Share them, please!

I thought Thanksgiving was to be thankful for stuff. That's what I got off Ozy and Millie at least.

It is.. I plead insanity, but thought I'd keep my ideas open, even the insane ones.

What would it be like if the turkey was our national bird? Would we be eating eagles for Thanksgiving? <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' />

Thanksgiving is the pilgrims being thankful the native americans didn't kill them all when they landed. If the natives had known, then it might have been otherwise.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> What would it be like if the turkey was our national bird?

Though I wonder if a turkey represents USA more than an eagle nowadays...

I bet they're all stringy. Gross. Anybody ever seen the musical "1776"? Franklin came off as a total stoner in that thing, man. I have classmates less disturbing than him. "I think it should be a tuhkey. The tuhkey is a noble bird." -Franklin It was odd, that's all.

A high-school English teacher made my class watch some goofy movie about the Declaration of Independence (no, don't ask, I don't know why). Was there a scene where John Adams convinced Franklin to visit the army's camp because they were spending all their time drinking?

It's "colonil," I think. There might be an "a" in place of that "i"
