Re: Joke of the Day

I would have to assume that would be Burger King, or Hungry Jack's for the Aussies.

Her in Bakersfield, Happy Jack's is a local burger and pie place. Very small, only has a counter inside with seating for about 2 dozen. Very popular with a lot of people in the downtown area calling in orders to go. They also have very good pies. People will order pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

For some of us Aussies, what is the difference between Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations ?
I've seen Americian movies where there are referrences to either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

The Aussies celebrate Easter and Christmas, and generally drink to any other celebration we can make up on the day.

Christmas is the same as Thanksgiving except you have people give you crappy gifts you would never buy for yourself.

Thanksgiving is like Easter, except instead of finding funny painted eggs, everyone sits around eating turkey/ham and getting shitfaced drunk proclaiming to be thankful for something; as though that were the only day being thankful was a necessity.

Similar to Christmas, but not to get confused. Christmas, everyone sits around eating ham and drinking eggnog, getting shitfaced drunk proclaiming to be thankful for the little $5 bobble someone bought as a proclamation of love whilst singing "Joy to the World".

So is Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrated as one and the same day or are they two different occasions?
The Aussies celebrate Easter in April and Christmas in December, we have a day after christmas day called boxing day.
Boxing day is the day were we go around the yard picking up all the empty beer bottles and put them back in the empty box... just kidding...

Thanksgiving is differently timed depending on the locale. The Americans celebrate it in November, whereas the Canadians celebrate it in October. Boxing day exists here too, but it's one of those "commercial holidays" where everything is dirt cheap and people start fist fights over toys.

Boxing day has the same examply rights here in Oz. They call it boxing day because of all the near fist fights, shoving an pushing to get the cheap after christmas day shopping specials. They should probably change the name from boxing day to UFC day...

Thanksgiving is in essence the harvest festival. It was a celebration started by the early colonists to celebrate a successful harvest. For those of you in Australia, Easter would fall during or near the harvest season. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the planting season would occur around Easter.

Re: Joke of the Day

The really important thing about those two holidays is shopping. The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Some stores make most of their income for the year on that day. The second most shopped day is the one after Christmas, with everything marked down, and the spending of gift cards. Those are the 2 make or break days in our economy.

A 92 year old man goes to the doctor for his check up.
The doctor asked the man how he was feeling, and the 92-year-old said, "things are great, and I've never felt better! I now have a 20-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that, doc?"

The doctor considered the question for a minute, and then began to tell a story.
"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun."
"As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realized he left his gun at home, and so, he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature. Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it was his favorite hunting rifle, and yelled 'bang bang'. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell dead."
"Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor.
The 92-year-old replied, "logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a few rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "my point exactly."

An old woman walks into a dentist office took off all her clothes and spread her legs. The dentist said, ''I think you have the wrong room.''
''You put in my husband's teeth last week," she replied. "Now you have to remove them."
