Excuse to eat like a pig day.

Sorry for all you Canadian viewers. You get no turkey.

Fox 6 · 11-25-2010, 11:01 PM

We had turkey last month.

Stay safe tomorrow. I'd hate to find out one of you guys got trampled to death running for a blu-ray player.

You guys are a month late. Get your clocks right

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an explorer, Martin Frobisher... In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony in Newfoundland to give thanks for surviving the long journey. The feast was one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations by Europeans in North America. Frobisher was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him — Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, in 1604 onwards also held huge feasts of thanks.

Quote:

The modern Thanksgiving holiday traces its origins from a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation, where the Plymouth settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season.

It appears you're between 43 and 17 years after ours.
Get your own holiday.

Ha.

I am so full and currently immobile. Oh, gluttony - how you torment me!

Good thing I got my blu ray players years ago, now if only I could activate the gaming portion of it.

But yeah Happy Thanksgiving!

Now see, in that video Ellen Page actually looks her age. Why couldn't she have looked like that in Inception so that I wouldn't find myself ogling someone who looks like a hot 14-year old?

But I think this is why america is the world leader of obese people.

You act as though you never ate a car.

Apparently you need to be reminded that 61.1% of Canada's population is overweight.

Despite the fact I posted that video jokingly, overweight is such a loose term. Technically, bodybuilders are overweight. Overweight is determined by BMI, which is a joke of a system. While obesity is also determined by that scale, it's not as loose of a term as "overweight" is.

Obesity is where the stats are at. 30% of Americans are obese. 14% of Canadians are obese. The USA ranks 1, Canada ranks 11.

While this is true - he's gay. So more than half of your country doesn't accept him, anyways. Harsh reality of the south.

Also, Canada is #3 for McDonald's and rape? Clearly there has to be some type of connection.

The 11th fattest country in the world is still fat, and if we're going to be fat, don't we want to be the best at being fat? Here's the secret... we take traditional comfort food or otherwise healthy food, and either deep dry it or sandwichify it.

The "Gobbler"

Fried Mac n' Cheese

Fried Pickles

Or... we fuse unhealthy foods to create mutant death food. Behold...

THE BACON CHEESEBURGER FATTY MELT... instead of a bun... GRILLED BACON AND CHEESE

I won't lie, I've always wanted to try a deep fried Mars bar - just to say I've done it.
