Friday 27th November (AKA All Americans Are Lazy Work Shy Bastards)

According to AEBN today is still Thanksgiving - And you all took two days off this year.

Presumably that is why there is no "Thread Of The Day Today" - You are all still partying and eating dead turkey (except Cleo who is probably partying and eating dead nut loaf).

Well I say "Put down the dead turkey and get back to work."

I didn't get where I am today by partying and eating dead turkey*

Honestly, don't know what America is coming to. Used to be a great nation of hard working heroes, not a nation of "two day holiday" layabouts!

(Ecchi goes off muttering very unAmerican thoughts......)

*The "I Didn't get where I am today..." line comes from one of the best novels ever written - "The Death Of Reginald Perrin" (later retitled "The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin"). If you ever get a chance, read it, it is brilliant. It has been adapted for TV three times, the first (staring Leonard Rossiter) was brilliant too, the other two were rubbish, and an insult to the book.
