can you explain this to a brit
Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest
I didn't know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while
I didn't get high, I didn't get laid... goddamn, how much of life did I miss?
It's never too late to follow your dreams!
Did you at least sneak a smirnoff ice out of the basement and share it on your walk?
I was supposed to get laid with my cousin, but then I didn't get high
Now I'm uninvited to gatherings, and I know why.
Because I didn't get high
Didn't get high
Didn't get hi-igh
Went on the wrong walk
All of it
You have their number? Fuckin' get after it
Wait, seriously? You guys didn't realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on "the walk"? That's hilarious.
Sounds more like getting into them for a while tbh
The Royal family
They appear to be from Birmingham.
Not the UK one.
Does distinguishing country actually matter here?
The American Birmingham is in Alabama, which has a certain reputation relevant to this meme.
So does the original Birmingham, which is why they said that.
Really? I feel I would have heard of it at some point in my handful of decades living in the UK.
The original Birmingham is in Alabama?
England.
Yes, in the UK you have to say “bap tide”
So, they should know?
Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.
It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.
Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.
Hope this helps! Go with God.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is most instructional in this regard.
So you're saying she did nothing wrong?
