Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I would like to wish each and every DT member a happy thanksgiving! In celebration, here is some Thanksgiving trivia for you.
Please post your answers. I didn't know this until today, but the White House Twitter page let members vote on which turkey to pardon. Here were the choices. Note that Cob likes pickleball, puzzles, and bicycling, much like me. I'd have voted to pardon Cob easily. The question for the poll is who would you vote to pardon? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | Happy Thanksgiving! I will guess at some of them. 1. I think it had something to do with WWII so I would think, FDR, Truman, or Eisenhower. I would say Eisenhower as a total guess as it sounds like something he would do. 6. Male. 7. I am not sure, but everywhere I have worked that this has been a holiday it is coded as "Day After Thanksgiving" on the official holiday chart and payroll. I don't know if this is the actual answer. |

No it's been going back to at least W. Bush, because I remeber after 9/11 it was a big thing because he pardoned two turkey named "liberty" and "freedom". I am pretty sure he did every other year as well. [spoiler] (Here is the only YouTube clip I can find of it, but I am pretty sure he answers the original question in the clip) https://youtu.be/p-2FvqGkgAo |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18755 | I went to a restaurant which normally serves pretty good food, but they served pressed turkey. Blah! You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
