Well today is the day that Americans celebrate all of the blessing in their life by taking the life of a innocent young turkey, shoving bread crumbs up its ass, and devouring it like a pack of ravenous hyenas. Personally I can hardly wait!
Of course for an Alaskan blogger it just would not be Thanksgiving without our all time favorite Thanksgiving video.
No, not "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"! This video!
THAT was the version that we all saw on Countdown last November. But did you all know that there are a number of OTHER versions you may NOT have seen?
Here are the "outtakes".
This is the version by the folks at Headzup.
And of course David Letterman had his "Top Ten Sarah Palin Excuses" for the turkey slaughter.
Ahh memories!
Well now you have yourself a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. And don't you spend one second worrying about Sarah Palin. I think we can safely say that soon she will know exactly how those turkeys at the Triple D Farm felt as she gave her interview last Thanksgiving.
(No I don't mean literally! I am speaking metaphorically. Geez!)
Happy Turkey Day!!!
Loved your description of "stuffing bread crumbs up the turkey's ass," even though I won't! Ever since I married Mr. B, I've served the "stuffing" as dressing, baked in a separate casserole. (And mighty fine dressing it is: homemade bread cubes and turkey broth, herbs, best butter, toasted pecans...) After making several remarks about reaching into the turkey's cold, cold, raw CAVITY, how a bird with an empty CAVITY roasts more quickly, and then having to spoon out the stuffing from the CAVITY after roasting pronto so it doesn't spoil, Mr. B relented. It wasn't HIS hand in the cold turkey cavity, you see.
ReplyDeleteMr. B never mentioned my stuffing the bird again. He just passes his plate at the groaning board for more dressing. With a bit of gravy, and more white meat...
Happy hols to all of the IM family, wherever you are!

Thank you Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteLove you Gryphen.
Oh, the language Gryphen, the language.
Have a content and happy day everybody!
You know that just never gets old, does it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving ;)
Thanks for all you do. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving Day.
ReplyDeleteHey, speaking of not knowing what was happening five feet behind her....
ReplyDeleteshe didn't know Bristol was sexually active or pregnant and they're in the same house...I think....
such a family-focused person.....
family comes first,
don't ya know, you betcha
"I think we can safely say that soon she will know exactly how those turkeys at the Triple D Farm felt as she gave her interview last Thanksgiving."
ReplyDeleteHow soon? Should I start counting down the days? :)
Ah, yes...Palin doing the presidential turkey pardoning thing. That was, perhaps, the most ridiculous thing she ever did.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the bloggers who worked relentlessly to see that Palin would be in Washington state for this Thanksgiving and not Washington DC.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Thanks to you, Gryphen, for your insights, writing, keeping us up to date, and for being strong even when threatened by right wing loonies. Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!
ReplyDeleteTo Gyphen and all my wonderful blogger friends,
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping everyone has a lovely holiday. And let's all be thankful that Barack Obama is our President.
You guys are the best.
ENJOY YOU DAY !!
NYC girl
I'm with you Mrs. Tarquin Biscuitbarrel stuffing a turkeys cavity seems quite uncivilized. To all those turkeys in the Wasilla area Happy Thanksgiving to you. I don't believe Sister Sarah is home this Thanksgiving so you can breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks Gryphen for keeping us informed. I know we get a little exercised from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do Gryphen....it is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving everyone!
Palin's world is very small....just a 5 foot circumference around herself. Just the distance from herself to her mirrors. It is funny how she does not realize writing her book will be her downfall. All those lies now in PRINT? There is no backing up on that now.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gryphen for keeping up with this ever changing story. And thank you Trooper Wooten for speaking out!
Please go to Politico.com and vote on John McCain's statement on Sarah Palin. The yes John McCain is right is winning. We know - No he wasn't right she needs to get more, cuz we know she's a liar.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to Everyone.
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning thinking of how Levi's national news "teasers" about spilling the Palin secrets, helped Palin "outers" come forward.
Special blessings to Ann Kilkenny, Andrew Halcro, John Bitney, Don Mitchell, Michael Wooten and their families. You brightened the lives of many this past week!
(Levi, you have *heart*. Thank-you for being you.)
It never gets old, it will be ritual just like "Charlie Browns Christmas" The dumbest Turkey of them all!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till the day, she knows the feeling...!
Did she really say, "I'm so happy I was asked here to participate"? You know how they say Turkey's are so dumb they will stand in the rain with their mouths open and drown? I think Sarah Palin is dumber, with her Book of Lies out and she won't shut her mouth, as EVERYONE is fact checking her, she lies and lies!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, and lets all be Thankful we didn't get that Turkey last year!!!
Yes, no stuffing in the turkey, but a few onions, a couple heads of garlic, some carrots and celery - a little sage - yum! Then after dinner you throw all that in a pot with the turkey bones, cover with water and simmer all night for awesome turkey stock.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for this blog!
OT, but not: not to bring anyone down, but isn't it noticeable how almost 100% of the kids, with maybe a few exceptions, on the Macy's Parade Santa float (as well as the cheerleader crowd which preceded him) are WHITE? What's up with that? So much for our diverse America, and sorry but that's one big oversight! And I am white. I feel sorry to see that, when we've come so far.
ReplyDeletei DO believe she will be clobbered (metaphorically speaking, of course) in the first half of 2010.
ReplyDeletego WOOTEN, go DUNN, go McGUINES, go LEVY!
oh, what a happy day that will be!
Ah, a Letterman classic.
ReplyDeleteThat just never gets old.
Todd is busy with the roof or maybe he is working on a best seller book of his own. He could earn millions, afford his own defense team and work a better deal with the prosecution. Sarah is already using her replacement husband. No one in their right mind who likes kids would ignore the prop-Trig spectacle that is playing for the campaign circus bus, aka "book tour." Todd you can do so much better! Todd has some s.palin’ to do. "So Piper gets to wear a coat, long pants, neck scarf, and presumably socks and shoes, but poor Trig is in somebody's left-over sweatshirt and a diaper with bare legs and feet." 39 °C = 102.2 °F ???
ReplyDeleteWe know Todd or Sarah never sued the Enquirer, come on Todd stop playing the cockhold fool (Brad Hanson). The time is soon now and everyone will be telling their Todd about Wasilla stories.
Is there anyone in that family that has the best interest of Trig in mind? Bristol? BRISTOL, get crackin’ Tripp need his Daddy.
Happy Thanksgiving Gryphen and thanks for "sticking your neck out for the Truth"!
ReplyDeleteIn case you haven't heard, Bree has the link of S'Error arriving in Pasco,WA and she states that Toad couldn't join them because he's home "fixing the roof"....
I too have some housing projects that didn't get finished this summer, perhaps I will head outdoors and use this holiday from work to complete them, it is a nice warm day here in the Valley, 25+, so one could not blame the ex-first dude for spending it catching up on some projects rather than visiting with his wife and children whom have been on the road for nearly 2 weeks.
I bet Todd is truly thankful for this time he has had with his wife away on the book tour. Gave his bleeding ears a chance to heal.
Happy Thanksgiving to YOU, Gryphen. We're THANKFUL for the work you and other involved bloggers are doing in exposing this be-bumpited, stuffed-full-of-herself turkey to the world. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteBTW, to dear Mrs. T. Biscuitbarrel--I LOVE your name!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm with those who refuse to stuff the turkey. I love how my cornbread dressing with bacon and pecans gets nice and crunchy on top when baked separately. Yum!
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone!
ReplyDeleteTo watch the Letterman Top 10 from last year -- little did he know how right he was!! Blame the Turkey Guy and everyone else!!
Check it out... look how thin Sarah's hair is in the turkey killing video. I guess she was stressed because she had to come back to Alaska after all!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Thanksgiving - the celebration of the pilgrim's escape for religious freedom, to a land where they could learn from the natives how to hunt and gather, only to turn around, steal, murder, rape, and pilliage the land, "claiming" it as theirs.
ReplyDeleteUh, sound familiar?
I'll take "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" anyday!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, except, of course, those who think "pumpkin" is a verb.
Thanks for the memories...
ReplyDeleteAnd Thank You for all you do!
O.T. Wasn't it nice to see the Obama girls at the pardoning of "Courage"? I just realized, after not seeing them for awhile in public, that their parents have their best interest as heart.
My how they've grown!
