Here's to a very Happy Thanksgiving to you Rival, and to that rascally Rickeybird, and to his incredible mum. We are all so very lucky to have the three of you as part of our lives, and I hope that you are all truly blessed at this very special time of year. :smile015:

I'd definitely like to second that! Abs, Rival and the irascible Rickeybird continue to be a gift to this forum community, and this long-running thread (currently at a whopping 365 pages) is testament to that. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, THANK YOU for all the love and laughter! And keep it coming!

 

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

Well, THANK YOU, thank you
ALL!
It has been a good, good run, and more to come, I hope.
As I have often said... this site has given the missus and me a fun place to air our disputes in a fun way. What might become arguments actually become fun stuff as we haggle over living with the... rascally Rickeybird???? Yeah, I can handle that.
Onwards to 2021.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
Wait, wait.........................
Happy RICKEYBIRD Day. Same difference.​

 

[Terry57]

I completely agree with Stephen and Martina's sentiments! I am so thankful for you, Gail and Rb for the love and laughter you have brought to us all. I love you Guys!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Best Thanksgiving ever. Because 2020 was just such a wiggy year. Because we need a BESTEVERTHANKSGIVING.

Because I said so.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR, BOYS AND GIRLS.....................................
From the Archived Rickeybird Christmas Song Book
First Installment of Several, courtesy of your humble Scrapbook Archivist

And now, the first in a series of Blasts from the Past
from your Loyal Archivist
I believe this little gem is sung to the tune of "Hark, The Herald", may God forgive me.

Well tune up those vocal chords. The next little (cough, cough) treasure from the Archives is from @2016, I believe. Sung to the tune of ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH.................................

An Archivist's work is never done. Karickeyaoke, indeed.
This is apparently a wild Rickeybird. The rousing carol is sung to the tune of GOOD KING WENCESLAS. I particularly enjoy the humility and modesty, so appropriate in this season of giving and good will. Sing it, Bird.

More to come, boys and girls, more to come..........................................

As we keep our spirits strong, here is another carol from the archives. 2017 this time. Let's sing it to the tune of THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME (for the holidays).

 

[SailBoat]

Well, at least not until there's a ton of chills in there!!!

"EXCEPT FOR CHILEZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZ!!!!!!"

 

[SailBoat]

Oh, thank you, Rival!
It's just not a real
holiday season
until you crack open the ol' Rickeybird Songbook, is it?

 

[SailBoat]

FYI: NOTE to Rickeybird Staff!
I elected to use one of my favorite translator between English to German... Not surprising the results are as enjoyable as the original...

I started with: Translate Christmas Song, and entered each of the above... Choose a favored language and do not have a liquid refreshment in your mouth...

Enjoy!!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

This is a very strange new holiday distracion you've invented, Boatsie.

I also found some translators which purport to "translate" standard English over to various sub-culture slangs, such as rap, downhome country, posh English and so on.
Yes, they are absoluteley hysterical.

If you really think about it, the Rb's versions are actually the "Parrot Translation" of the standards, right???? Yeah!!!!!

Thanks for this important linguistic insight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the Bird sings this one, there's not a dry eye in the house. That's because it hurts our ears.

Here we go.

 

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

Sung to the tune of "God Rest Ye merry Gentlemen", but not too loudly, please.

Fifth installment!

And a one, and a two, and a...
