Happy Thanksgiving!

Obama Pixiefish Wishes You a Happy Pre-Thanksgiving

Hey, tomorrow's Thanksgiving! I'll be spending it with some Americans that I met. They like to cook and I like to eat so, basically, I'm set. This will be the second Thanksgiving dinner I've bummed this year as two other Americans cooked me a budget feast on Saturday. We had microwave chicken, potatoes, gravy, canned cranberry sauce, apple crisp and instant stuffing. Yum!

Wanna feel warm and fuzzy? Check out these pictures of Thanksgivings past Slate put up.



While I was on Slate I had to take a look at the political cartoons featured. Favorites include this one of the religious right, who apparently have changed their name tag post-election from "the voice of real America" to "prophets misunderstood in their homeland."



And this delightfully strange depiction of the Obama family in fish/pixie form:

Happy Tootie Day!

Yesterday my mom reminded me that it was Tootie Day.
When I was much much younger I decided that I would create a holiday. Or something. I can't remember why, but I did create a holiday called Tootie Day, in which "little bugs that bite," called tooties, come out of the ground annually. I remember that I chose Oct. 17th as Tootie Day because it was coming up and I wanted to celebrate my holiday soon. The proper way to celebrate Tootie Day is to have cake.

I'm pretty sure the inspiration for Tootie Day, besides the desire to have someone make me a cake, was my favorite game at the time, Cootie.



The rest of it's genesis is shrouded in mystery.

Anyways, yesterday was Tootie Day and I made a delicious spice cake, on which I frosted a horrendous, green bug with metallic teeth. It was served and enjoyed by the rest of the Bow family.

I am welcoming everyone else to celebrate a belated Tootie Day by making and eating their own cake. I am also welcoming everyone to remind me this holiday exists next year, as I'm sure I will forget and it is the only holiday I've ever created.
