Or did someone stick the meaning behind the big screen TV so they could catch a glimpse of it during one of the big games? This is a holiday for everybody but the cook...and chief dishwasher and diaper changer...<br />I was right...I am jaded!

Maybe there's a lot more than just the accent going on.

I've never been to North America, but I was taken aback by the loos in a 4star hotel I stayed in in Malaysia once.. and I gather they are the same. <br /><br />And they DO cause plumbing disasters... one ghastly one of which I was reading about on <a href='http://wouldashoulda.com/' rel="nofollow">WouldaCouldaShoulda</a> only I can't find the particular post now.. but judging by all the comments, you need to have a plunger residing permanently in your bathroom!<br /><br />Maybe we should have Thanksgiving here about the type of toilets we have...<br /><br />I jest. (and digress). Thanksgiving? Like the concept, but only if it replaced Christmas for the present giving stress! I can't imagine how stressed I would be if I was having to do Halloween, then Thanksgiving.. THEN Christmas, all in the space of a couple of months! Or maybe our Christmas has just gone ballistic because we don't have these others... OMG the toilets!
