"Preschoolers share tips on how to cook a turkey
-- Shoot the turkey in the wild. Put in a large pot. Pour on ketchup and mayonnaise and 10 spoons of sugar. Cook it for 100 minutes in a 10 degree oven. Take it out of the oven and eat with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. And then eat another bowl of ice cream"

This one sounds GREAT!!!! LOL

Asked to write a composition entitled, "What I'm thankful for on Thanksgiving," 
little Timothy wrote, "I am thankful that I'm not a turkey."

The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"

Top 10 Reasons College Students Are Looking Forward to Thanksgiving Break

10. You'll know that your turkey is a Butterball rather than a Grade E yet semi-edible fur ball.

9. Your mother will not be serving your mashed potatoes and stuffing with an ice cream scooper.

8. Pumpkin pie is a great alternative to green Jello.

7. After your eighth glass of cider, your emergency dash to the bathroom will not be delayed by having to line the seat with toilet paper.

6. Clean underwear, comfortable bed, access to a car, bedroom larger than a 12x14 cell... OK, even if it is for only four days.

5. To eat your meals the only trek you'll have to make is from the couch to the kitchen, rather than the dorm to the dining hall...in below freezing weather.

4. Instead of listening to "when I first started teaching here..." you can be entertained by "when your mother was your age..." and "during the Depression we weren't lucky enough to have brussels sprouts. Hell, all we could afford was the sprout!"

3. You can eat your corn steamed with butter rather than popped in your microwave

2. You'll know the hair in the shower drain is your own.

1. You won't be eating your Thanksgiving meal off a tray!

LOL!!! on the wOOhOO!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. ;)

Thanksgiving Weather Report

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near F 190. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder. During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy. A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.

Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone

Hey, man, it's Thanksgiving! LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, oops, it's not morning at your house any more! Good afternoon, Kidlet. I just finished peeling and cutting "into little pieces" (per instructions) sweet potatoes. Now I have to go pick up the rolls for tomorrow.

Ho Connor!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

WTG, Tonkin....you got #50.

Off to pick up the rolls. And get a new cordless phone battery. And get cookies for the nephew. Then I think I can play. *HUG*

My brother just sent me this one, under the subject line of "For all we know...."

[Old Sarge]

How convenient, Linda! You're on patrol, I'm on watch.

Knocked off early today?

Barring the funny pajamas, that's pretty close...

[Old Sarge]

TSGT: Well, I admit to cheating. I used 4-mil plastic sheeting on the two worst windows. Looks like that did the job.

Fawnn: You're getting gross on me!
