The Thanksgiving Turkey

While I was trying to find something to blog about I asked Joe for any ideas and he said to write about turkeys so here goes.

Every Thanksgiving the President pardons a turkey. Why? Does saving one turkey make it ok for all the others to die? And what happens with the pardoned turkeys once they die of natural causes. Do they then get eaten? Does anyone really want to eat an old wrinkley turkey anyways?

Why are Thanksgiving Turkeys named Tom? Is it really healthy to name a dead bird? Once someone names a live turkey Tom is it then destin to be eaten? It is like Phoebe on friends with Christmas trees forfilling their Christmas destiny. Maybe any turkey named Tom needs to fulfill its Thanksgiving destiny of being eaten. How much would it suck for your destiny to be eaten on Thanksgiving. Back to the point. WHY TOM? Why not Oprah? (As Joe would ask) Do they name the pardoned turkey? If so, who gets to name it? On the West Wing CJ got to pardon a turkey. I don't remember if she named it or not. I want to name my turkey something that isn't fun. Then I will not feel bad eating it. Like Homer. No one would feel bad saying pass the Homer. If it were Isabelle it might be a little worse. Im hungry... put some Isabelle on my plate. That just doesn't work.

How bout the funniest Thanksgiving moment on TV? I think it would have to be on Friends when Monica has the Turkey on her head trying to make Joey laugh. I wonder if anyone has tried that since the airing of Friends? I would bet some money on the fact they have.

How about Thanksgiving traditions? My family all gets together and before dinner we don't watch football like most families. Instead we play Bingo and the newest thing... Poker... Texas hold'm to be precise. This is because we found one year everyone wassitting around hte TV watching the World Poker Tour and we realized everyone was a fan of the show so we brought the game to life. Gotta love the holidays!

Anyways... I need another blog topic... Any suggestions???
