I am thankful for so much today, including PETA. Their antics supply me with a good dose of humor! Happy Thanksgiving to all FReepers.

Each year around Thanksgiving, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals makes the evening news with some new campaign to get people to stop eating turkey. This year PETA wants me to believe that if I enjoy my annual serving of turkey at Thanksgiving, then I'm probably going to get the Asian bird flu. In order to make sure I'm aware of the threat, PETA members will "lie naked in flower-decorated coffins outside the Department of Agriculture" — just in case I walk by. As an alternative, PETA says I should ingest something called "tofurkey."
Although I'll pass on the tofurkey, I would like to thank PETA for its sincere concern for my health and in return, offer up a little Thanksgiving anecdote sure to warm the cockles of their turkey-loving hearts.
We show up at the ranch pretty early — usually before dawn — to start setting up for the turkey shoot. For me, that involves standing around, drinking coffee and trying to avoid any actual work. Slowly, folks from all over start trickling in — greeting friends, trying to stay warm, and setting up tents where they'll serve barbeque, tamales, and beer for the rest of the day.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, FREEPERS!!!!
I can't spell this morning
Save a Turkey, eat a PETA member!
Ping for a good Thanksgiving laugh.....
I'll think of them as I begin to dig into the typical family feast in a few hours.
Mr Pig and Mr Turkey will take center stage on the table, as it should be.
Thanks, but I'll opt for the turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
PETA members lying naked in coffins.I may need to make a pit stop.Since there aren't any port-a -johns around-they will make a good substitute!
I was just about to ping you with this Texas story!
Hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving.
PETA girls turn into spinsters
We all have so much to be thankful for!
BTW, I'm a vegetarian and won't be eating a bird.
(However, I'm bringing a little bit of turkey--dining out--for my cats. I know it doesn't make any sense.)
Guess I'll have to wear my real fur stole to the dinner table when I enjoy my real turkey and venison roast.
Tastes like chickensh*t!

I'd sooner try the tofurkey.
The only thing that will make me stop eating turkey is if I'm too stuffed to swallow another bite.
Then it's a nap and football time!
Here's hoping the Temperature drops to below freezing with wind-chill, well below freezing.
I understand PETA-Cicles make nice winter lawn decorations as you can dress them to be any ridiculous thing you want Al Frankin, Susan Estrich, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, even as Teddy K.
