This is its 7th year. People are still searching for it! That makes me smile. Enjoy!
Across the hall from my office is what I believed to be a daycare center. Turns out, it is some sort of work-release program for 3- and4-year-olds, from which they operate a turkey farm. As you can imagine, it’s been a busy place this week. I’ve dealt with a turkey or two in my day, so I thought I’d take a moment to offer some last-minute turkey selection guidance, with a little help from my turkey-raising friends across the hall.
Do look for:
A plump, confident bird that will look you right in the eye. All parts should be . . . “in the ballpark,” so to speak.
AVOID:
A bird that appears intoxicated, or just effin’ goofy. You don’t want that.
The upside-down turkey, with crossed legs and shifty eyes. May also exhibit a paranoid demeanor. This bird will NOT digest easily.
Watch for the inbred turkey. Its feathers and legs tend to grow inward. Also be leery of turkeys with excessive glue or other miscellaneous white liquids dripping from their beaks. You just don’t know where a turkey like this has been.
This is the “WTF” turkey. Any bird that elicits, as your first response, a startled “WTF?!” is to be avoided. Just say no.
What Was I Thinking? 
Because it’s flippin’ hilarious, that’s why. Truly, it is (merely) one example of your blogging genius. I’m thankful for it every year!
This post never fails to make me smile. I’ve been known to search for it mid-year when I need a pick-me-up.
And that 2nd turkey? I think he needs to go potty. Just sayin’.
Its back! Pass some holiday nog, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Holy cow, 6years? We are old blogger people.
Love it, everytime I read it, I laugh!!
I know I’m British and we don’t ‘do’ Thanksgiving but I came back to see my favourite turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all my other blog friends. I do think of you often, even though I’m terrible at keeping touch. xx
As a former preschool teacher…. that is AWESOME! I wish I’d taken pictures of some of the doozies I’ve seen in the past!
I almost missed the repost of this one. It’s a classic!
Awwww, that last one is just dazed and confused. Love your blog, hope all is well.
