Since yesterday's post didn't happen, we thought we'd add a little extra oomph to this one with some fun and games. Maybe it will be a useful distraction for a few readers who need a respite from drunken Uncle Bob and his rants about how these immigrants are ruining America.
We've already done a presidents + Thanksgiving trivia quiz, and there are only so many reasonable questions available for something like that, so we decided to go in a different direction. We have put together ten sets of four pictures, like this:
The first picture, in each set, is something that is associated with Thanksgiving. As a set, the four pictures point at a theme or commonality of some sort. For example, shown here are a pie, an idol, a dream and an idiot. All of those can be paired with the word "American" (i.e., "American Pie," American idol, the American Dream, and "American Idiot").
Note that there are many different kinds of themes here, that the theme may rely on a different meaning of the word indicated, and that some pictures may suggest multiple words, some of which are not needed. For example if we had done one with a picture of Plymouth Rock, we might also have given pictures of Gerald Ford, of Chevy Chase, and of a mustang horse, resulting in a theme of "cars" (i.e., Plymouth, Ford, Chevy, Mustang).
And with that out of the way, here are the 10 sets:
