You Have Summoned Me?



(Last year's Thanksgiving post, warmed up, served again. Because of my laziness. Happy Thanksgiving!)

That's right. Take a good look.

I have always been this ugly. I never went to the prom. I frightened young children. And I was picked last for every barnyard game. Even when I got onto a team, the game was almost always Red Rover, and I was too weak to break through the link between the cow and the goat, no matter how fast I ran.

So go ahead. Chop off my head and cook me and eat me. What do I care? I long for the afterlife where I might become a fuzzy bunny or a cute yellow chick.

What's that? You wish to know if there is anything I'd have done differently in my life? Yes, many things. I'd have tried to be more of a leader than a follower. I'd have eaten on the good china every day. I'd have come inside the barn when it rained, instead of looking upward to my near-drowning. I would tell someone, anyone, the key to life that I've discovered. In fact, I will tell you.

All you need to know is--

WHACK


Thud.

    Still just as good as it was last year! Happy Thanksgiving! :-)

    PS--I was kidding about the peace sign cupcakes. We got a SpongeBob cake instead. Because SpongeBob is much more Thanksgiving-y than peace signs.

    Good Lord Almighty - I missed this beautiful post until now. Got to think about it more before putting my neck on the line with a comment. Thanks Mistress Candy...

    "All you need to know is...[put your claws in front of your beak when you sneeze.]

    I'm just guessing of course, but it's good advice for anyone, especially during cold season.

    You're brilliant, Candy.

    Of course, I could be biased.

    Of COURSE I heard Spongebob has a peace sign tattooed on his back. But it happened during his brief stint at the community college. He doesn't talk about it.

    Ahh you shucks, you are just funnin us. I bet you stufffed that head with meat and had a good time.
    I never like to look at the beast before slaughter. I like my protien shrink wrapped and Kosher.
    Each to us own. In the imortal words of Rodney King "Can't we get along! Ouch,OUch, stop that!

    Chilebrown, a carnivore like you???I figured you'd be into the whole shoot 'em and drag 'em home, Ted Nugent kinda thing.

    Also, I don't like to look at the beast before slaughter either. Which is why I blindfolded myself until Scott said his vows.

    I KNEW there was a good reason that turkey never tasted good to me. If the suckers are this ugly and miserable, 'cause he does look pretty darn sad, then how can he possibly taste good? Mystery solved. Sushi anyone? = ]

    Turkeys aren't ugly. Why, with that golden brown skin after extensive basting, the succulent white meat...

    I'm really quite enamored of the little buggers.

    Sushi! AAACK. Citlali, you and Scott will have to have my share of sushi on the planet. I've tried it and couldn't cope.

    Steve, Shhhh. The turkey ain't got any idea he's about to be cooked, ate, and burped. Let him have his dreams.

    Even a disgusting picture of a turkey's head is enough to get Candy going! Maybe I will challenge her with a totally unrelated picture and ask her to write about it. Let's test Candy! BTW - the two of us both cackled when we read WHACK and thud!
