I say leave the damn thing up, I mean, how Freaking long does it take to eat, anyhow? Afterwords, if we cant play SFC were just gonna go take a nap or watch football anyhow, whats the difference? All the women go gossip in one room and all the men go drink beer in another.

Personally, Im gonna be out in the woods looking to use my Second Amendment rights to do something PETA wont like, weather permitting.

But, to make everyone happy, even the damn UN-Americans out there (lol, I wonder if Toten, Firesoul and Hexxiepoo all live in the same igloo?) we should leave it up for the evening and have it down in the day, or vice-versa.

By the way Dizzy, Im saying leave it up and I voted for W, so STFU too beeyotch! ..l..    0o0     ..l..   <snicker>

I live in the UK and the time the server would be down for would mean no play that day at all.  10.00am = 3.00pm GMT , 10.00pm = 3.00am GMT.  If you want to take it down in the interests of fairness it should be down for 24 hours not 12 imho. So it is fair for the non-Americans who play as well.

"So how was your Thanksgiving?"

"My what?"

"Your thanksgiving, how was it?"

"Am I supposed to thankyou for something??"

"Thanksgiving, you know, the turkey, celebrating whatever it is in history we're supposed to be celebrating..."

"Hmmm... and just who's history would this belong to?"

"Well, you celebrate Holloween dont you?"

"Never saw that movie myself."

"Errrr... how about the 4th of July??"

"Nope."

"Sacriledge! How un-American of you!"

"How observant of you. By the way, its Remembrance Day today, did you remember the fallen Anzacs on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month today?"

"The what?"

"I rest my case."

YOU DON'T HAVE HALLOWEEN!!!    <faints>

Stangely enough, I worked in a lab with a Quebecois fellow, clean shaven top to bottom (used that Neet stuff?). The women in the lab got wind of his night job and demanded to get a better look. Being the modest francophone he is ;), he of course obliged. Quite a remarkable fellow really, held three jobs, very intelligent and a world traveller. He was great to work with, I loved to torture him about his  "Beautiful Country", couldn't bear being Canadian, he was in complete denial.

So with complete innocence I can say yes, at least one of the Montreal/Gatineau male strippers is a smoothie.

P.S. Thanksgiving is over, so leave the server up.  ;D

Dizzy, it doesnt matter, once the voting is over, the "Commies" as you say will just ask ABC to run a special about how the "Thanksgiving: To play or not to play" poll was fixed.

"The what?"

"I rest my case."

ANZAC Day is no different then Armistice Day (which was originated by the Brits and French) and also observed by the US.  However, the US expanded Armistice Day into Veteran's Day back in '54 in order to include our WWII, Korean War, and all other conflicts.  Didn't seem right to overlook the 16 million US Vets of WWII. 

Nov 11 is still a Federal Holiday and I had the happy opportunity to attend a very nice recognition and celebration of our Vets today.


So anyway ... we gonna play GW4 on the 25th?
