Where did I get my Thanksgiving knowledge? aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 21/11/2017 04:30:28 PM

From pop culture and my idiot grade school social studies teachers, of course.

Thinking back, my history teachers were some of the worst teachers I had, once I got to middle school and high school. No mastery of their material and little ability to get the class interested. At least my civics/government teacher was a football coach who could command the attention of the classroom.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

I'm so glad they didn't eat turkey - it gives me more ammunition when I refuse to eat turkey Tom - 21/11/2017 05:19:04 PM 908 Views
I didn't eat a turkey for Thanksgiving until my 20s. Growing up it was either goose or duck. The Shrike - 21/11/2017 05:24:35 PM 859 Views

Wait...Jesus wasn't an Aryan? Why would the Führer ever lie to me? Tom - 22/11/2017 05:07:55 PM 927 Views
I would have liked to have seen some of those pictures. Cannoli - 22/11/2017 11:10:11 PM 925 Views
It's been around since at least 1965 and is still in print. Tom - 22/11/2017 11:29:57 PM 976 Views
That's just...wrong. I can't imagine taking a blond god seriously enough to worship *NM* Cannoli - 23/11/2017 08:09:17 AM 493 Views
I don't know. Have you seen Chris Hemsworth as Thor? I'd worship that. A lot. The Shrike - 23/11/2017 01:45:19 PM 877 Views
I thought he was red-haired, pre-Marvel. When he was actually worshiped. Cannoli - 24/11/2017 06:15:40 PM 932 Views
Chris Hemsworth is more of a demi god than god to me. Roland00 - 25/11/2017 08:30:08 PM 851 Views
Ancient Greeks also had more blond hair based on descriptions. The Shrike - 23/11/2017 01:42:02 PM 918 Views
Supposedly the light hair and blue eyes led to speculation Tom - 23/11/2017 02:20:17 PM 950 Views
