For reasons I am fuzzy on, Canada does its Thanksgiving on a Monday in October. What the hell, Canada?
Anyhow, Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian reader, Simon.
We posted plenty over the weekend, so forgive us if this is what you get on a Monday.
We read Action Comics #2
We ranted on UT's #11 ranking
We read Red Hood & The Outlaws, Batwing and Nightwing
We went to go see Baby Face (1933) at the Ritz.
Happy Turkey Day, Canada! Enjoy some yams!

Thanks for the Canadian love Ryan. Yes, I spent the day gorging myself on Turkey and generally doing all the things you Americans do on your Thanksgiving. That is except watching the CFL. I still don't that that is real football.
Also, it was Anna's birthday today and she turned 7. My present opening and cake eating was committed in the name of science.
Speaking of science, the reason we have our thanksgiving day so much earlier than you is due to the fact our harvest is earlier. Chock another one up to Canada being closer to the north pole with a shorter growing season then you Yanks.
Just try having it at a non-weird time, and I'll think on it.
"Weird" is having two major turkey-eating holidays within only four weeks of each other. Either way, it's just called "Thanksgiving", not "Canadian Thanksgiving".
Tell that to every US calendar maker, my anonymous friend!
Strange they wouldn't already know that.
When noting Thanksgiving for the USA, Canadian calendar makers write it "Thanksgiving (USA)" instead of "American Thanksgiving", so one would assume American calendar makers would extend the same courtesy by writing "Thanksgiving (Canada)" when noting Thanksgiving for Canada. Then again, that's probably too much to expect from a nationality who uses "y'all" in speech unironically.
Ha! I'm from Texas. You can't embarrass me by pointing out how we improved on the English language with a non gender specific collective noun. It's a real beauty, eh?
Are you attempting to tell us that the word "you" isn't already a non-gender-specific collective noun, and that the hillbilly slang "y'all" is actually formal English?
Serious question: is this an example of the education Americans go into debt for?
Oh my goodness. Jordan Peterson???
