So Thanksgiving is coming tomorrow. Turkey time in the vegimime.

The very first Thanksgiving was a long time ago when the the Spanish conquistadores visited North America. They had a big feast where the Spanish ate a bunch of indian food and the indians ate a bunch of sword and disease.

So then later the colonists came and set up shop and the the indians were uneasy about these new white people but the Europeans said "Don't worry about us. If we have any problems, we'll just kill you." So then they started trading and had a big super happy Thanksgiving feast and the indians were feeling pretty good until the colonists wanted to expand their settlements and had to sweep away some indian tribes.

So after a while the colonists just told the indians to beat feet out west and play with the western indians. This wasn't such a good idea, however, as the different tribes didn't get along very well.

Anyway, sooner or later people started getting together and having big thankful dinners and calling the day Thanksgiving and attributing it to the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock. And that's why stuffing tastes good with turkey.
