Pumpkin? In my day, we ate beet pie and we appreciated it! Man, I could really go for a bowl of borscht about now. ---

I’m sure you could. Just like we could go for the eye-watering flatulence that inevitably follows in its wake. Yesterday for the holiday I volunteered to feed some starving orphans, rescued some flea-bitten kittens, massaged the feet of some decrepit old ladies, and helped clean up after they fed bad hamburgers to the members of the Lion’s Club. ---

Oh, well, sure you helped kittens. Let’s not think about the little birds of the world, whose numbers are devastated in their millions, if not BILLIONS, by the uncontrolled spread of domestic cats, who slaughter birds in countless numbers because the bird species aren’t evolved to account for massive numbers of human-protected invasive predatory species. Fuck birds, am I right? They’re just living, feeling creatures, but you don’t mind ensuring they die in agony and terror and their young suffer an unimaginably horrific death of starvation, knowing only pain and fear. Next I suppose you’ll be letting poisonous snakes loose in a daycare, you monster. Anyway, I’m going to go make an egg salad sandwich. ---

You heathenous Turkey! How dare you! Here in North America when everybody who is anybody eats Turkey sandwiches today you have the gall and gumption to mention egg salad sandwiches. Now I want one. Todays cocktail, gin or tequila can’t decide. ---

Doesn’t matter-you’ll still get rip-roaring drunk and sit there watching old Starsky and Hutch reruns as the drool drips down your chin. OK, fine. To make up for my previous sins, today I rescued a whole host of lost migratory birds, fed them, gave them water, then at sunset let them all loose to fly away into the gloaming. ---
