First will come the overthrow of Greece, then the fall of Turkey, and finally the breakup of China.

Yeah, it lasted 11 months! *LOL*


...actually, we had ours early this year, because I work for a newspaper group and advertising sales are massive in the run up to Christmas, and we have staff who live all over the country (Ireland)...so this was the only night we could get everyone together, without the collective hangover bringing the company to a standstill. (Happily, I've a day off tomorrow/today)

I had the turkey and ham!

Your fellow FReepers are more interested in the 'how was the pork' portion of the party.

The issue of Greece is rather slippery. We're abreast of the situation in Turkey, although I detect some cracks in China.

WOW! I never knew there was a scientific reason for it.

I just figured after all the running around, preparation, serving, and being general 'hostess with the mostess', I was just knackered!!!

"O my God, I gotta monkey on my foot!"

Yes, that was a great episode also. But the turkey one is still my fav. I had the audio of Les Nessman's (winner of the coveted Silver Sow Award) report from the shopping mall, but can't find it now.

I also liked the episode when Herb made the ducks dance by using a hot plate for the dancefloor.

A great sitcom.

Which reminds me. When I first started listening to Rush when he first went national (and having never seen a picture of him) I saw him in my mind's eye as Johnnie Fever.

"They're hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement." This is one of the all time funnys. According to Quinn on Pittsburgh's 104.7 this was actually taken from a real incident that happened in Colorado.

Turkey is high in the amino acid Tryptophan which helps induce sleep.

My Butterball turkey was recalled

It seems they forgot to butter the balls.

The turkey has been sitting out all night, is it still good?

Yeah, should be okay. Probably took a nap. Tom will be nice and fresh in the morning.

If one is infected with 'Howard Dean-itis,' this may be a cure.

Excellent answer!

And, with that answer, your screen name should be RipVanWinkle instead of bperiwinkle7. ;-)
