Happy Turkey Day, won't you?

[stars-and-bites]

Schedule for the 2024 MST3K Turkey Day Marathon. If you've never seen the show, The Final Sacrifice is pretty great ("Are those TOTES? They are!"). All times Eastern. If you miss anything, it repeats over the holiday weekend. Which is good because I'm not getting up at 4 am even though I've never seen The Killer Shrews.

The temptation, when adapting a really iconic detective, is to delve into his personal backstory. That's the devil talking.

The Far Side

Looks like a teddy stealing or kidnapping a doll. The small ones have knives and forks like they’re going to go eat her.

View of the Goozlebug float during the 1925 Hudson's Thanksgiving Day parade. Spectators line street. Stamped on back: "Spencer & Wyckoff, photographers, Detroit." Handwritten on back: "The Goozlebug." Typed on sheet: "(K) This is the Goozlebug -- a great big animal twenty feet long operated on a tractor. It crawled along the street never following a straight line and you could hear the children cry with delight as the bug attempted to go through a crowd." 1925-11-26

A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING (1973)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here’s a festive Throwback Thursday photo from 1969! On this Thanksgiving, the world-famous parade passed the Museum’s 77th Street turret with a very special float: a sauropod dinosaur. This inflatable Apatosaurus measured an impressive 60 ft (18.3 m) long! The giant green dinosaur featured big eyes, a wide grin, and a 20-ft (6-m) tail. The original Apatosaurus balloon made its first parade debut in 1963 and was retired from service in 1976.
