the macy's parade was the biggest steaming piece of crap I have ever seen. No wonder I never watch it.

Wild turkeys are scarcely the same species any longer than the absurdly overbred domestic birds. They're physically quite fast and limber, while the domestic ones are barely able to walk (and too fat to mate - they have to be bred via artificial insemination), and to the extent such things can be measured, are far more intelligent. The rule of thumb I've heard for outdoor turkey fryers is at least ten feet of clear space in all directions.

Happy Thanksgiving, Gothamist and Gothamist readers! May we all be forced to unbotton our pants at some point today.

I went to the parade last year and it was the worst piece of crap in the entire world!!! First of all, you don't see them do shit. All you see the marchers do is march. All the singers do is wave. the only thing you see is balloons and little kids screaming. Second of all, When the marchers get to 34th street herald square they do crazy choreographed routines that are amazing and the singers belt out their songs and get everyone dancing. That's what you see on television. The Only problem is that Joe Q Public don't get to see that cause 34th street is reserved for the rich hoity toity and their offspring. Only the rich and well connected get to see anything cool at the parade. the poor only get to see marching and waving while the rich get to see singing, dancing, backflips, confetti, fireworks, brass bands, cartoons, celebrities, and all that cool stuff you see on TV. Very dissapointing.

There's no place cooler than New York on Thanksgiving. I mean, everyone else has to watch the parade on television, but only here can you hop on a train and go watch it IN PERSON (you know, without all the cheezy acts). I'm thankful for living in the coolest city in the world. Happy Turkey, everyone.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly...
