Turkey Daze - I


Well, the 2008 Thanksgiving turkey just got delivered, and I've spent the last hour chasing it around the living room with a hatchet. Free-range, my ass. This thing's feral. I'll bet they trapped it on the way over and threw it in the box.

And call me stupid, but I didn't think turkeys had teeth...

Oh, Lord. You're one of THOSE people?!

I finished reading The Stand with The Dark and Stormy Book Club last month, and the whole scene where Mother Abigail goes to collect some chickens for dinner for her approaching guests really kind of freaked me out. If I were responsible for going out and killing my dinner, I'd turn into a vegetarian RIGHT. QUICK. I LIKE being distanced from my food's production, thank you very much.

Good luck with that, is what I'm sayin'. MY Thanksgiving dinner will start its relationship with me frozen and wrapped in creepy, flesh-colored plastic.

Turkeys have very small brains and are easily entranced by shiny objects. Just hold up a picture of Sarah Palin and chant 'Drill Baby Drill,' and you'll be able to conk it on the head in no time.

I feel your pain Colonel, I'll have several turkeys in my living room Thursday but they will be my in-laws. And yes, chasing them with hatchets has crossed my mind.
