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?

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

[dropitlikeitshawk]

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

[cantstarvethisfire]

Who's Jarvis? Your pet?

[brothor]

Americans are strange. Why is indigestion a tradition?

[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.

[arrogantalloy]

Because we eat, and eat, and eat. To leave a thanksgiving dinner without groaning from being full is bad manners.

[thesmallesttrickster]

So the celebration is in honor of him?

[arrogantalloy]

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

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, that's. Wrong.

No, he's my butler, actually.

[arrogantalloy]

We celebrate him. But thanksgiving isn't in honor of those who we have floating as balloons.

We're actually giving thanks for the English tricking the natives into giving us their land in the broadest sense.

[brothor]

That is a strange thing to consider bad manners. In any case, I should like to celebrate such a day, even if I am not American.

[arrogantalloy]

Means you don't think the person who cooked it is actually a good enough cook.

Well hey, if you want, I can talk to Mercer. Put in a word for you. You know if I happen to be feeling generous. I mean, Steve, Bruce and I will already be there.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Well, I suppose that makes as much sense as the English celebrating a man who tried and failed to overthrow the government.

[cantstarvethisfire]

You have a butler?

[brothor]

But if you ate enough to suffer for it, it must have been a most pleasing meal!

Are you certain you would like me there, Stark?

[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?

[arrogantalloy]

Not that much of an accomplishment. I have to decode Sherlock on an hourly basis. Both his writing and how he talks.

And they're only close when it comes to where they're placed in a dictionary.

[arrogantalloy]

Oh yeah. They're really amazing meals.

I invited you, why would I invite you if I wasn't certain.

[arrogantalloy]

There's always a reason to celebrate someone, even if they fail, kid. It just sounds stupid later on I guess.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you're making me feel a lot less infamous with questions like that.

I'm a pure blood and my family name makes millions in the muggle and wizarding world. Of course I have a butler.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I suppose that is true

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm about to burst your bubble some more. What does your family do?

[brothor]

Then I suppose it is worth the sacrifice.

Because you are fickle? I do not know.

[arrogantalloy]

Very worth it.

Yeah, not as fickle as you think. There's a difference between easily distracted and fickle.
