Now’s our chance to take over the SDMB.
Where do we begin?
Raid the storehouse of knowledge!
It’s 8 in the morning. Exactly how long do you guys think the american thanksgiving dinner is?
We’re not all away. Holy cow, it’s only 9:30 in the morning on the East Coast!
Besides, we took all the good silver with us, and anything else of value has already been stolen or is nailed down. (I checked)
If all the Americans are goofing off because they think it’s Thanksgiving (even though they are over a month late) wouldn’t that mean that there would be lots more of them on SDMB spoiling our fun?
Not all Americans are off eating turkey. I certainly am not. In fact, TPTB have left me in charge of security. However, because they didn’t ask me if I wanted to work on Thanksgiving and the bosses are gone, I’m going to fire up a cigar and kick back with a Penthouse. Y’all have a blast, and be good 
I’m going to start by replacing all those missing "U"s and switching “-ize” with “-ise”.
Also going to change “Straight Dope Chicago” for “Straight Dope Royal Leamington Spa”.
I began by poisoning the turkey!
We burning your turkey!
I’ll be back in a second. I left something in the boot of my motor and I have to take the lift downstairs to get it.
That’s some colourful language for a Canadian.
You can’t poison our turkey; you are neither a Diplomat nor a Spy unit.
The metrication starts… now.
You and your metric system can go kilogram sand!
:eek: My god … I’m too late …
Which is pronounced “Straight Dope Throatwarbler Mangrove.”
Some of us don’t particularly like turkey. Others (including yr obt svt) find the idea of crowding elbow-to-elbow around a table with people you don’t particularly like and stuffing yourself till you’re about to be sick* less than entrancing. So we’re left to guard the fort. Just try to loot it quietly, okay?
*Uncle Dildo’s favo(u)rite maxim, “It takes a heap o’ vittles to gag a boggie,” comes to mind here.
Initiate the Doomsday Device.
Trust me, Mom has that already taken care of.
This American is celebrating Thanksgiving by spending a long weekend in London. So there.
(You guys win, though - since when the hell does the Circle line dump you in Hammersmith instead of, you know, going in damn circle? That was a fun extra two train changes.)
Can’t talk. Apparently they like to play a certain song on this day. I’ll be back in ten minutes or so.
Canada has already spoiled all of America’s fun by sending Nickelback to perform at halftime of the Lions-Packers game today.
What did we ever do to you to deserve this?
