Was it thrown from a helicopter hovering over the unsuspecting crowd gathered below?
“Forty live turkeys were dropped from a helicopter onto an unsuspecting Cincinnati shopping mall below…”
“One just went through the windshield of a parked car. This is terrible, Oh, the humanity!” reported Les Nessman.

(I did a lot of searching for the whole episode… I wonder if a rights holder is actively getting it removed from YouTube?)
Also, that one won’t play embedded. But I felt it was slightly better than this one, which can be played here. So if you don’t want to leave Meh…
Does Walmart count as a grocery store? Tho truth be told the vast majority of my turkeys get bought at Winn-Dixie when they go down to less than 50 cents a pound. Just smoked one I bought last year over the weekend.
As an aside, 25+ years ago my father-in-law ordered a turducken from a restaurant in Gulf Breeze. It was amazing!
Since covid my company hands out turkeys a week or so before the big day. Although with back to work this year I think they will be re-initiating Thanksgiving day lunch (full turkey dinner for lunch) so I may be out of luck for a free bird. Oh well…
At previous residences, local farms sold them. At current location, a local butcher takes reservations for a certain number. Maybe I’m a sucker, but I do think they are better than the grocery store.
We get ours from a turkey farm. My 10 year old wanted to come pick it up last year and sheepishly asked if we’d have to kill it.
Fast forward to me being chastised by my spouse: What is “the family turkey hammer” and why did you make him hold it for the drive out there?!?!
@jouest you’re evil
@jouest You sure are evil- my kind of evil!
/giphy Turkey Hammer…
We typically get at least one from a restaurant that smokes them. Then all we have to do Thanksgiving day is reheat it.
@ybmuG brilliant
One year I got a turkey from a radio station event. Does that count?

@narfcake @PhysAssist beat me to it!!!
@narfcake @PhysAssist @tinamarie1974 one of the funniest episodes! Now i want to find it somewhere and watch it again!
@narfcake @PhysAssist @ybmuG agree!!!
@narfcake @PhysAssist @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG Not the whole episode, but does this count?

One year we shot one on our property to have for Thanksgiving. and don’t worry haters we had a license.
@fairchild521 in my experience, this is where you really learn the difference between a svelte wild turkey and a gigantic bred-for-meat one.

@chienfou Winn-Dixie is just Meh for people stocking up before Hurricanes
@chienfou @jouest Meh has better snacks than Winn-Dixie.
@chienfou @jouest Is that like Piggly-Wiggly?
Buffet at the DoubleTree. If I crave leftovers there’s always Golden Corral the next day or two. Easier than all the hassle.

@tinamarie1974 very legit perk, though!
@jouest I was definitely thankful while it lasted.

@Skipbidder 100 percent
Neighbor’s compost pile? We never could figure out what they were looking for but seemed to be happy. No, we didn’t eat them.
I am not going to ruin Thanksgiving with turkey. Ham or steak are tradition.
