Thanksgiving on The Strip

November 27, 2008

It’s Thanksgiving.

Or so they tell me.

Once again, it’s that time of year when we celebrate the inferior firepower of the Native American, who’s complete incompetence allowed a bunch of effeminate Englishmen build an entire nation on their property.

We sat down, ate a meal with our hosts, then shot them in the face with a musket.

If that’s not something to celebrate, then I don’t know what is.

Of course, we made it up to them.

We killed their ancestors and took their land, but we gave them casinos in return.

In the end, I’d say it was a win-win for everyone.

Needless to say, I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving.  If you have to be told by the Federal Government to sit down and be thankful for your family on a prescribed day … then you’re an asshole.  I wish I could be more tactful, but I just don’t know how else to put it.

Every day, I am thankful for what I have to be thankful for, and I am bitter about, well, just about everything else.

I don’t reserve a particular day for it.

So, while it’s “Thanksgiving” for the rest of America … to me, it’s “Thursday”.

As such, I will be heading out to The Strip in search of cleavage and gambling winnings.

Due to the cold weather and miserable economy, I will likely find neither, but I am … if nothing else … persistent.

I will send some real-time shots back to this post at various points during the day so that you too can be on The Strip on Thanksgiving.

At least as much as is possible.

I hope everyone is enjoying their day off.
