yes my lovelies it is that epic time of the year again the halloween thanksgiving christmas new year and hannukah time of the year or what i call the thanxmas time when everyone can feel the pleasure and pressure the excitement and insanity welling up bubbling to the surface like a geyser until you explode in laughing or gyrations and or tears. this is simply to be expected so good luck everyone as we run this joyful gauntlet and experience all the wonder and awe that the pilgrims intended for us and that jesus would surely have desired while opening presents. my gift to you citizens will be more art which i hope will make you tingle and sigh pleasureably and if not i hope it will not offend you at least. it is my way of thanksgiving for all the blessings of like and society and when christmas comes when thanxmas will be at its full height i hope to have tons more thanxmas related artworks out there to tickle all of your pleasure-sensitive brain nodules and send sprays of intense dopamine hits right through your nervous system in delightful ecstatic waves of bliss. this is my hope we will see if it becomes a reality.
here is one little piece i have concocted it may not stimulate all of your pleasure pathways but maybe it will open your eyes to a bit of forgotten american history that is often glossed over in schools these days. we all know that ben franklin the founding father and pilgrim descendant had his passions and interests and none more so than the appreciation and admiration of turkeys:
yes indeed what would the turkey holiday the day of thankfulness be without an appearance of the greatest fan of the turkey in history ben (Benjamin) franklin. this man was a great admirer of the ancient turkey species and because they were so much larger in ancient and colonial times he imagined many more uses for them than we would understand, since today we only treasure them for their delish meat. No ben franklin had great dreams for the turkey and unfortunately these hopes were dashed by americans’ obsession with their meat above all else and though it is delectable meat indeed is it really worth the sacrifice of the great dreams ben franklin had and the fact that all the big turkeys were hunted and destroyed leaving only the little turkeys that we are familiar with today? In ben franklin’s day one turkey could feed an entire village the carcass cooked and stuffed would be set up on a great altar like platform in the village square and the people would carve off their pieces of meat huge butter slick pieces such that their entire front bodies would be dripping in shimmering grease and juices and they would be laughing and swaying with pleasure washing down the meat with goblets of alcohol.
happy thanksgiving from your joyful pal— leon zody
