Here's a WH turkey offering another type of job to another turkey.

It's not really a wild turkey being pardoned, though, is it? It looks like your run of the mill Butterball.

gadian: Say what you will, but I love it when government reps and agencies do things like this. Its fun. Its silly. And that's ok. We need that sometimes. Its like the NORAD Santa thing and how the squadron of fighter jets in my home town used to fly in formation on Christmas Eve to make their lights look like stars and Christmas ornaments and things like that.

Waste of money? Of course! Waste of time? Undoubtedly. Still pretty cool.

Sorry, I have to be offended because of political reasons. Rage rage rage, hate hate hate, wharrgarbl.

Yeah, it's cool. I'm glad we get a little eye candy for our tax dollars. Also good are the Blue Angels doing their thing when they come to town, the friendly Bowl Game bets between governors, and the new latest and greatest thing they just started doing that is just friggin awesome (on the very boat that dumped bin Laden's body no less):

Clear we need to thin out the herds of Wild Turkey. I volunteer myself

I'd like to see a President with the balls to actually eat the damn Thanksgiving turkey.

LargeCanine: I'd like to see a President with the balls to actually eat the damn Thanksgiving turkey.

He probably went down on Michelle at least once or twice.

I heard last night that in spite of the stories, the turkey pardoning tradition was started by Bush Sr.

Bu..bu..bu..but..Bush's fault!!1!

I'm drinking bourbon while prepping for dinner, so I'm getting a kick...

/will probably do all the work and pass out while everyone else eats.

Aar1012: But does Fartbongo know that the bird is the word?

Even HUSSEIN fartbongo knows that the bird is the word. Everybody knows that the bird is the word.

_{hmm hmm mow m-m hmmm mow mow}

It's good to have a plan.

Lol. If it actually happens, someone else will have to clean up the mess I'm currently making. When I wake up at 8pm I'll just reheat the ham, turkey and fixins'

We're doing a friendly Last Supper for people who don't want to go home this year. I hate going home for the holidays and always need street Valium to handle my parents' Glenn Beck arguments at the dinner table. This year my plan is to get 'faced and enjoy the holiday, but given my early start it's a real possibility that I'm the first man out.

/but I'm making a seriously badass New Orleans-style Thanksgiving dinner in the meantime
//trying to divide my attention between the GB/DET game, the food, bourbon, and the rest of the day

Oh and:



This is what you're thankful for.

The turkey wasn't wild and probably won't live much longer. The hybrids are such mutants that they grow big and die semi-immediately.

I think it's great that every year they pardon a White House turkey, but I think the suit is a little over the top.

Truth. There is litle kindness in sparing it.The least one can do is serve it with cranberries and stuffing. Mmmm!

But the question is, are they Muslim turkeys?

WizardofToast: But the question is, are they Muslim turkeys?

And if Pamela Geller was right, is this proof that Obama really is a secret muslim?

If I can feign serious drunkenness, I can escape all the clean-up work. My god, it's genius. And then I can ninja my way into the kitchen and gorge on everything,

/stuff missing from the fridge in the morning? That was me
//fark you - I prepped for 15 people and I'm getting my cut

Correction:

IIRC, only one bird gets pardoned, the rest are all 'off with his head!'.

Happy Hours: I have an idea - how about donate the turkey to a charity for the homeless?

Sadly charity is seen as socialist now.

No, charity is a perfect god-endorsed solution to all of societies ills.

Trying to run something centrally with economies and efficiencies of scale, quality controls and oversight? That's socialism.

Depends on the kind of charity. There's a church down the street from me that had a piece in the paper yesterday about giving away free dinners to reformed gang members and their families. You wouldn't believe the kind of nasty comments it got. Did I mention the church is primarily ethnically Mexican? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.
