A little known fact is that on the Pilgrim side, the first thanksgiving
feast was attended mostly by the men of the colony. It seems that the
women were working feverishly to weave blankets for the anticipated
harsh winter and couldn't get away. The men, in a gesture of
appreciation, sent food to the women as they worked. This was the first
recorded incidence of loom service.

I yam not sure. Although I will probably get a dressing down for not
checking, my only defense was that I hit the cranberry sauce a bit hard
today.

Why are you stuffing this newsgroup with your turkey puns?

Ignore him. Not only can't he drumstick to the topic; he's just talking
giblet-ish.
