Zolton's Facebook Pranks on Thanksgiving Dinner

I originally wrote this piece for MediaShower.com, for use on the late, great comedy site ZuG.com. Text and images published here with permission.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and many people will tell you that this is a time for gratitude, a day to bond with friends and family, and to reflect on all of the things in life to be thankful for.

Horse puckey.

Thanksgiving is all about eating. This is the one day when American adults can skip work, shove fourteen pounds of food down our gullet and pass out on the couch in a tryptophan-induced haze, dreaming of the turkey-and-mashed-potato sandwiches to come.

(Or as Kevin James calls it: "Thursday".)

In fact, there are only three rules for a successful Thanksgiving:

1. Pace yourself. You don't want to blow a colon on Thursday night, with three days of leftovers still to eat.
2. Cook your stuffing separately. If you wouldn't cram it up your own cavity, don't shove it up your bird's.
3. Everything is better with gravy. Don't argue. Just pour.

In the true spirit of Thanksgiving, I reached out to a few of the biggest holiday food icons for advice on how to make my Turkey Day nosh a beast of a feast. Read on for the details -- and my actual posts on the companies' Facebook walls -- to spruce up your own gobbler extravaganza.

And that's something we can all be thankful for. Turkey on, citizens.
