TANGENT SUNSET

COMMON CREEPS by Alex Cosper

Do you know why we celebrate Thanksgiving? (11/23/05)

respondent quote
CANDY: So that we can eat turkey. Come on, ask a tougher question than that.
COOL LEE: We celebrate Thanksgiving to show our thankfulness to each other. It's a time when family and friends get together. Come on, that's too easy of a question.
DJ YOYO JO-Z: It's just one extra holiday where people can check me out at one of my gigs.
MR. BIG BIZ: It's to kick off the holiday shopping season. Profits skyrocket. Q4 earnings go through the roof.
JENNIFER: Don't get me started on the history of Thanksgiving. I don't want to be seen as the one ruining the party.
SKULL MADISON: It's one of those holidays where we just sit back, drink wine, and say "my what conquerors we are."
COLLEGE STUDENT: All I know is it gives me a few extra days to study in peace. My roommates kind of bash it up, but I'm trying to learn about the world around me. Usually the JFK assassination anniversary triggers other conspiracy theories. Right now I'm studying how the music industry is finally getting busted for payola. I'll let you know what I come up with after Thanksgiving.
