      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

      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.

      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.

      I understand the circumstances, but maybe next time if you wait until you have your dominant hand available for typing, your post might be a little bit more coherent.

        'Twas many years ago and the ensuing drama from being caught and him being left behind while the rest of his immediate family went back to Michigan, well, it’s not a particularly jerkable memory.

          Oh, right, yeah, that’s quite the drama, and not in a good way. Hope it turned out OK in the end.

    No joke we have some in our family who are second cousins. They’re known as the inbreds.
