Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Do you think vampires drink turkey blood on Thanksgiving?

...it's possible. Especially in my house.

I`d rather think of a picture of a human on the table with an apple in his mouth...

Yes Happy day that the pilgrims came and took over "america"

isn't thanksgiving to remember when indians and colons did eat together and forget to kick each other's butt?
(maybe i'm wrong, i'am a total jerk with american history)
so vampires may drink turkey blood with humans...

Please, folks. This was meant to be a Happy Turkey day thread. Not a thread about how

He brought us pain and misery"
-Run to the Hills/Iron Maiden

If someone would like to start a rant about that, by all means, but start a different thread, please.

Thanks!

I love this holiday. Let's celebrate food!! *stomach growls*

haha I get to have two Thanksgivings! We already had ours over here in Canada on the 10th of October! But now, in honor of all of my friends here at the Rave, I think I'll make myself a special holiday meal! Which is in total thanks for all of my lovely friends I've made here! Huzzah!

Happy thanksgiving to you as well, Jason. :)


I am thankful for my father. He's a good man, and he's just as crazy as I.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all....I hope your day is absolutely wonderful and you stuff yourselves so full of food you feel like you're gonna pop!

*shakes head to clear eyes*

Ok. For a second there Angel, I read "poop" not "pop".

I was beginning to worry.

*pops self in forhead to ensure eyes remain clear*

*Gives Requiem a hug and some of that clear eyes stuff you see on tv.* LOL =)

*Shakes head and pushes the clear eye stuff aside* Thats not what she needs!
*Hands Requiem a bottle of her finest vintage wine* That'll go straight to the source. Although I don't know how much your eyes will improve after that haha

ya know what everyone come over my house ill set up table one for the human and another for the bird

i love thanksgiving! its an excuse to gain a few pounds with out anybody saying anything...

ummmm i just got finished eating, and i think i have turkey-itus XDDD im all sleepy. does everyone get turkey-itus? or is it just me?

*raises hand* i get it every year...

lol really? its awesome isnt it? you can sleep anywhere! i know i do =x LMAO **passes out** -.-

Here's a cool article about Tryptophan and, as you put it, Turkey-itis.

In this instance, lore almost intersects with science. Turkey does contain tryptophan, an amino acid which is a natural sedative. But tryptophan doesn't act on the brain unless it is taken on an empty stomach with no protein present, and the amount gobbled even during a holiday feast is generally too small to have an appreciable effect. That lazy, lethargic feeling so many are overcome by at the conclusion of a festive season meal is most likely due to the combination of drinking alcohol and overeating a carbohydrate-rich repast.

Those who still feel wary of turkey's purported sleep-inducing properties should find solace in the knowledge that many items we eat contain tryptophan. Milk, beef, and beans are among the foodstuffs which house this amino acid, and experts say chicken has higher levels of tryptophan than turkey does. If tryptophan were truly the sandman's henchman, we'd be falling asleep at the wheel on our way home from KFC.

I meant to say this yesterday and I forgot.

The turkey is a funny bird.
Its head goes wobble wobble.
And all he says is just one word.
Gobble Gobble Gobble

Thanks for posting that Dan. I've been saying that for years, but you try and convince someone they're feeling tired because they ate too much versus their ingrain belief in a magical amino acid.

I eat Turkey sandwiches several times a week with no ill effect. Is the sliced turkey I get from my deli tryptophan free?

I am thankful for the very few, but very dear friends I have made here on the rave.

Im from England so have obviously never celbrated thanksgiving. But it sounds liek you all have fun x x

Here I am, the vegetarian vampire. I had tofurkey for the 18th year. Remember kids:

Meat is murder; eat humans, not animals!!

XOXO

HaPpY HaPpY HaPpY JoY JoY JoY GoBbLe-GoBbLe-GoBbLe! for a wonderful turkey day!

...i am thankful to be alive. and to have met such a cool group of people here at VampireRave! woowoo!

...ok...we now continue with our regular scheduled gorging on leftovers! 8)

I love leftovers... mmmm

i have to agree with atrophy.. seeing as hes my bestfriend..lol

Well we do have something similiar in Ireland and the U.K. It is called "Harvest Thanksgiving" and at more or less the same time as the American "Thanksgiving" However, it is not a public holiday, but it is celebrated by Holy Communion in the Churches. The Churches are all nicely decorated up with corn and other earth produced foods and people come to give thanks to God,a nd the labour put into producing the food we have on our plate.

I think its the same theme/reason in America?
