Giving Thanksgiving "Da Bird"

So because we are Buddhists and are thankful every damn day..below the belt, I know, we ditch Thanksgiving. Besides we hate turkey, no really I hate turkey. I enjoy a Turkey Bacon Club sandwich here and there but it's basically a "kosher" solution to eating too much Bacon. So let's be real here: we're Asian, we  get one day off from work so our Wednesday night plan is to get all kinds of tipsy and get in line at Best Buy to retrieve yet another 60 million inch flat screen for our bathrooms. We, unlike you guys, enjoy the rather finer things in life. I am going to go into a mini hibernation mode and nap until midnight when all the malls are open and pounce like a cat when the gates of Banana Republic opens, hell I might even do a drive by at the Gap...needless to say, I'm shameless.  
I am pretty sure I've had all types of birds today; herring, chicken, Cornish hen even...no Turkey. Maybe it is because Asians are the real meal hipsters, we shop at exclusive supermarkets and wear our half-hoods and skinny jeans to Dim-Sum...maybe. So for those whom are not eating copiously in my honor, good for you. Stay resilient, I love you.
