This pie chart (get it?) should help put the upcoming holiday in perspective a little bit. I'll have an extra helping of hangover, please.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, this call attracts turkeys with a more urban appeal.
Food Buzz …with smallpox blankets. So begins Thanksgiving Week on Buzzfeed. Cool! Trinkets!
A competition to mold turkeys out of unusual substances—this one is made of pumpkin pie and Twinkies. More at the source, including a Matzoh Turkey and a bird made of S'Mores.
Some of these old Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade pictures are adorable, while others are just straight up weird. The first helium filled balloons debuted in 1927, and were Felix the Cat, the Dragon, an Elephant, and a Toy Soldier. I have no idea when this crocodile showed up at the party, but i'm guessing fashionable late, as crocodiles always are.
TV Buzz Celebrate Thanksgiving the American way—with TV! Here's a round-up of Thanksgiving TV episodes and clips for you to enjoy while your family is kvetching or watching football.

Follow live video, temperature sensors, photos, Twitters and comments as a turkey is smoked in Portland, Oregon. Tune in at 9am! This is like the TV yule log at Christmas, but with gadgets! (Via Mental Floss)
Tech Buzz A Thanksgiving variation of the popular 1980s Nintendo game Duck Hunter. Try to shoot as many turkeys as you can. The level of difficulty is controlled by how many glasses of Sherry you've drunk. It's like a 2.0 version of Duck Hunter, only with Turkeys and Sherry. What's your high score?
Food Buzz For the experimental chef or the bored palate, a host of unusual and exotic ways to prepare turkey. I am bringing the Turkey Cannon home to my family; I think it will make a festive centerpiece.

Animals of the world unite in the turbaconducken, a turducken (turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken) wrapped in bacon. The new name kind of sounds like Italian for “heart-attack.” (via Neatorama)
