Since the passing of Art Buchwald (previously on MeFi), we're looking for something to replace his traditional
Thanksgiving Humor Piece (seen here), with varying success. MeFi's Own rstevens has a collection of
LOLGRIMS, MeFi's own Lore offers some
catering services for the 21st Century (featuring the next step in
Turducken evolution). Formerly MeFi's Own Lileks has
a cheap video on how to make a cheap Thanksgiving dinner. A faux-conservative blogger (who's no Colbert) suggests
renaming the holiday. The "Creatures in My Head" guy has
his own disturbing version of a turkey. A video game site has
games that (kinda) fit the holiday. A semi-NSFW site for dudes has the
Worst Thanksgiving Dishes (not sexist, but PETA-ist and
NPR-ist) But the most obvious Thanksgiving tradition (via YouTube) is the
WKRP Turkey Drop (and
aftermath).
Also,
23 Things That Sound Dirty At Thanksgiving, But Aren't ("It's Cool Whip time!"), The Naughty American (NSFW)
suggests substituting "envy" for "thanks", and
a Thanksgiving Horror Story that may or may not be a piece of really dark humor. Funny Thanksgiving crafts include a
knit turkey hat and
a centerpiece made from tampons. Better-than-most comics about
cranberries,
stuffing and
stuffing again. And for the convenience of commenters in this thread,
Thanksgiving ASCII Art! (with obnoxious MIDI sound, no surprise).
