Gotta get that free turkey! The free Turkey (or ham if you so choose to go that way) is like your reward for putting up with those surly supermarket workers for the first 10 months of the year! I freeze mine and eat it after the holidays.

I must say, I admire your mother’s “pluck.” Pluck, get it, turkey, pluck as in feathers…oh forget it.
Yeah, I have to say, I embraced my inner yuppie and got one of those spa-raised, hormone free, organic, happy-until-they-slaughtered-it FULLY COOKED turkeys from Whole Foods. $80 well spent.

Good for your mom! I understand the point of it, I really do. I hope the turkey was delicious.

Next year you should treat her to a fresh turkey, they are fabulous!

Dammit, I came all the way over here for the porno posts and all I got was a free turkey.

Guess I’ll have to troll through my e-mail Spam box and look for a message with the subject line “Let’s try this tonight!” My luck it will be an ad for a free turkey.

This makes me think of when we took bowling in junior high gym class. Our teacher told us that the term “Turkey” for three strikes in a row developed from the old tradition of giving someone a free turkey when they achieved that goal. Mmmm..turkey.

Wow, talk about culture shock. I have never heard of free turkeys. Then again, I live in Sarah’s neck of the woods. One coast has free turkeys, the other free-range, I guess.

You Americans know how to have your holidays! I’ve never heard of any free turkey giveaways here in Canada…

You’re a good son, Neil!

I’m sure your mom will save you the best part of the turkey: the “wish bone” — to help make all your wishes come true.

Have a great Thanksgiving. And do save me a piece of pecan pie.

I’m in L.A. Farmers Market and just saw some heritage turkeys for sale. Only 10 lbs. (who wants a turkey that small?) and costs a whopping $91! Yikes, what do those birds taste like? I guess it’s the Kobe beef of poultry…

This was great, the indian comment was gold. I usually don’t trust free food (too paranoid) but will rethink. Happy Thanksgiving!
