Thanks.

In before someone notes that Mexico is in North America, to be followed by someone else pointing out that you said "northern...."

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving has been ruined for me ever since it was pointed out to me that it's a celebration of the generosity shown by a people we later slaughtered.

"Northern American" excludes Southerners, right?

You weren't alive at the time so what's all this "we" business? Stop being so dramatic.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Yes, us North Americans above the 49th parallel had our Thanksgiving back on October 10th. But thanks to the USA for the Black Friday sales.

Americans refer to Yanks aka People of the United States of America. North American is not the same as Northern Americans. Venezuelans, Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians and so on do not associate "American" as a identity except for when used as North American or South American.

I'm not sure if Glenn was prescient, or just led the thread in this direction...

I made the best leftovers sandwich yesterday.

I'm already tired of leftovers. Mainly because the leftover pie didn't last past Friday...
