The Spurious Nib Thanksgiving Edition


On November 11, 1620 a small band of Religious Separatists along with the Crew of the Mayflower signed a Social Compact to “maintain order and establish a civil society.”1

Our merry band of spurious reporters have uncovered a sub-clause in the Social Contract that allows relatives to “talk turkey and politics whilst standing on one foot, and facing England, the said opinion shall be sung to the tune of, "Mein G'müt ist mir verwirret" ("Confused are all my feelings")2 


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
