The REAL Story of Thanksgiving

Due to time constraints and having a coffee fetcher who can’t do his job, this production was shorter and of a lower quality than originally envisioned. Sorry.

We do hope this clears up some of the misconceptions about the history of the American holiday Thanksgiving.

Thanks to Dinosaur Mom for having an avatar suitable for the female role. We really need to hire some female eggs soon.

    You know I was hoping that you would finish “How the Mascot Stole Christmas” so that I could do a reading for both of our blogs to post. That would be an awesome and fantastic present to everyone!

    Just thinking…

      I agree… I printed it out and all my geeky kids loved it but were dissapointed with the suspense.

        I still feel bad about that. We will try to post an updated, complete version in a week or so (as the slideshow instead of scores of images spread in different posts)

    Impressive I have no idea how you made that slideshow but my heart swells with pride at the wit of Lorde Mascote, with his trading skills and such.

    What happened to Lorde Mascote’s arms?

    And by the way, dear “Lorde Mascote”, I didn’t like how tiny my name was in the credits.

    @Derek: Thank you. I know I’m great.

    @Annie: And you continue to demonstrate why Mr. E is superior to that lame human knockoff, Mr. T.

    @Wang & Blunderprone: Actually, it was finished, but the philosophic implications of an unorthodox ending was too much for your human minds.

    @Kate: Thank you. By “we”, do you mean “me and my family members” or “me and my other personality”?

    @BDK: Lorde Mascote was very smart and charismatic. It’s really amazing how many of his genes I’ve inherited.

    @Anonymous: They are hidden in the grandiose-ness of his cape.

    @Mrs. Chessloser: So when are you going to stop talking about you and start talking about me?

    @Donnie: It’s not like I made the other names too big on purpose to give me an excuse to make your name illegible. Really.

    If you used all the energy and creativity you put into your blog on chess instead, you could be a world-beater!

    That is a lot of win right there. Although I was slightly disappointed to not see another child fall on scissors and bleed while the Mascot stands there.

    Somehow I thought the story should have mentioned that the gentleeggs also had redshirt turkeys. The Thanksgiving feast that occurred afterwards was the disposal of red shirt remains.

    @Anonymous: This is true; there’s no doubt I would hit class A. But think of it this way: there are a lot of class A players. There aren’t many blogs featuring anthropomorphic eggs.

    @Brad: Don’t be too hard on the Mascot; those other kids stepped over (or through) the corpse.

    @Allen: The ending was supposed to be completely different, but I ran out of time. Actually, this “ending” sets up nicely for a part 2 for next year. And if no one remembers you made this comment, I’ll take full credit for the redshirt turkey idea.

      So where’s part 2 for 2010? And hah! You can’t take my redshirt turkey idea now.

        Oops. I am trying to do a Christmas production, however.
