The chances of me getting a turkey the size of Rogers over Thanksgiving is high.

Everyone not American might not get it. But history aside, a turkey the size of non-muscular Gryffindors is really the only reason to celebrate the day.

Please tell me I'm not the only one looking forward to edible monster birds?

I think you're the only one.

[arrogantalloy]

Katniss, you're killing me. What isn't there to get excited about? Turkey is probably the best game bird I've had.

[cantstarvethisfire]

It's a good game bird, but who needs one that big? It's a waste of meat, unless you're going to make soup and freeze it. You could probably sell the feathers to someone who makes crafts or arrows, only if they're good quality though.

[arrogantalloy]

It's not just me eating it. Mercer is thinking of having a Thanksgiving thing for all us homesick Americans.

Wow you really do scavenge everything don't you?

[patrioticspells]

I don't think you can find a bird that big.

[arrogantalloy]

Still got a lot to learn about the world of magic. I'm sure it's possible.

Hey I was at least being realistic. I was almost going to ask for one the size of Thor.

[patrioticspells]

Is magically altering poultry legal?

Can you even eat that much turkey?

[arrogantalloy]

Doesn't have to be the turkey, could be the crops. And personally I'm not up to date on the whole magically modified food. But hey if it was a toaster you made sing, then yeah, that's illegal.

[3potionproblem]

Oh, god, not this again.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, I don't complain about the weird things you get excited about. Mine is at least me being a proud American.

[3potionproblem]

I annually forget that gluttony is synonymous with American.

[arrogantalloy]

Not this American. This is the only time I ever just pig out.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I am not sure what you are talking about, but eating a large bird does sound rather enjoyable.

[arrogantalloy]

It's one of those American holidays that we lose our minds over. It's a big thing, I promise. Family togetherness, historical significance, and a 50 foot floating snoopy.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Is a snoopy a type of American food?

[arrogantalloy]

Snoopy's a national hero. He shot down the Red Baron in the first Muggle World War.

Believe me, there isn't a man, woman, or child in the US who doesn't know about Snoopy.

[brothor]

What are you giving thanks for? Are you thanking turkeys? Is that a tradition?

[arrogantalloy]

Tradition, in America. We give thanks for the native people for allowing the British to come over and exploit them and their land.

But for the most part it's families sitting around eating a roasted bird with yams, mash, and indigestion. Also, the Macey's parade. I've missed it ever year since coming here.

[brothor]

Americans are strange. Why is indigestion a tradition?

[sixbuckdropout]

dude dude
im gonna be disapointed if you dont get one his size
holy shit im so excited for thanksgiv man
turkey and pie
aw yeah

[arrogantalloy]

It's Mercer that's arranging it, not me. She's the one you should be thanking. But I do get the credit for dictating the size.

I'm starting to be concerned about how it's taking me less time to understand your handwriting the more I read it.

Have you ever thought about becoming a doctor?

[sixbuckdropout]

Then Ill' have to thank her too.

Onestly it should be like a an acomplishement for you or something.
Auror is close enough isnt it?

[dropitlikeitshawk]

You could get a sparrow and it'd be bigger then Steve.

[arrogantalloy]

No, Sparrows are too short. Same kind of legs, but too short.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

So, somewhere between a sparrow and and ostrich.
