There are many reasons why, such as the kids banding together to 'cook' their own meal and give thanks for their friendship. The main reason I like this special the best is because of a song in the middle of the show called 'Fly Little Birdie' by Vince Guaraldi (the same guy behind all of the music for Peanuts specials) with vocals by some guy named Joe Williams.....yeah, apparently that's his real name.
So....it's a badass song if you can find it. Just watch the episode above.....it's towards the middle or just past that (?).
I, honestly, did not plan on writing a Peanuts©-themed blog....but the weirdest thing happened the other night. I went out to get some drinks with a few peeps that I've been hanging out with here. No lie, our waitress.....er, server.....was none other than Peppermint Patty!!!!
You're probably thinking I'm just stretching to make this a funny quip about a character from a 40-year old comic strip.
Ok.
Her name was Patty.
She was wearing a green shirt.
Her voice was raspy and kind of gruff.
She had reddish-brown, neck length hair.
She was a bit lesbian-ish.
For clarification, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with her being a lesbian, or with lesbians being lesbians in general. I'm simply stating that Peppermint Patty has long been associated as a lesbian. Can we not agree on that? I mean.....her best 'friend', Marcy, calls Patty "Sir." No one else finds that strange?
Alright.
So watch 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'.
Eat turkey. Or To-furkey. Or whatever.
Just enjoy your holiday.
And finally,
a list of things I'm thankful for:
The Movie 'Shaft'
Baseball
Glenn Dorsey
Beer
Sleep
The Lantus SoloStar Pen

Beer
