Since it's the week of tanx(except anywhere outside the US of A) it feels like this week should be alot easier than it is. And yet, today I went to school and found the one of the longest mondays ever. Anyway, back to the point at hand. I'm sure there's at least one other person at the mO to think of this idea, but I haven't seen it, so don't grill my ass if this isn't the first you've seen it. What is 'it', you ask? Why, it's my latest segment...
TRYING TO MAKE THANKSGIVING MORE INTERESTING THAN IT IS!!!
I will be doing some fun facts about this oh so average holiday of ours, and the propaganda that surrounds it. Today, I shall start off with...
• Turkeys were one of the first animals in the Americas to be domesticated.
• Turkeys are first documented over two thousand years ago in Central America and Mexico.
• Benjamin Franklin called the turkey "a true original native of America."
• The turkey was nominated to be the official bird of the United States but eventually lost out to the bald eagle.
• Domesticated turkeys cannot fly.
• Male turkeys are called "toms" and female turkeys are "hens."
Eh, I'll try and find some more interesting stuff for tomorrow. It's a new segment, it's not refined like Red's Magnificent Movie Quote, or Red's Weird-Ass Dreams, or Red Flips For Long Haired Hotties (though that only took two days. Who knows, maybe you'll be giving thanks this week for some more hotties Red flips for).
On to the next order of buisness. Ok, when you go to the Starbucks, please know what you want, and also what your child wants. If you don't know that a child's cup only comes in one size, and that you can't order coffee in it. Don't mix up the Peppermint Mochas with the Peppermint Hot Chocolates and try to put it in a tall, rather than a kid's size cup. You don't know what you're talking about, let alone the people at the bar don't know what you're talking about, and then take 10 minutes to sort it. Do you realize, most of the rest of us know exactly what we want and order it so many times, we have the exact amount of change in hand, ready to go? You're holding up the line. Just go to McDonalds and get your kid a McFlurry or something. The rest of us have to be places.
That was my (rather calm, if you noticed) rant for the day. I also went to rugby club, but we just watched an informational video. I know it's an awsome sport and all, but I don't think I'm gonna do it. My mom already comitted me to basketball for the winter, and in the Spring I want to do soccer. Plus I said I was gonna do kickboxing at the gym, anyways.
RED'S FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE-EST. 2003
Haha, just thought I'd put that up there. For the web, that's pretty vintage, eh? 2003? Damn straight. Ok, well the quote was 13 Going on 30, yay!(See, she's even happy!)
"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
Mmmkay, I don't know about other places, but today it's drizzly here. You know, the kinda wheather that gets ya down? So if it's the same wheather where you are, hope you get cheered up, and if not, hope you're having a good day!
Monday, yet not...
