Moment with Will

The thing I love about Thanksgiving is food. I know I should be giving thanks for a fruitful harvest season but I’m not. I love turkey and all the fixings. The meat, the stuffing, the gravy. Could you ask for anything more?  Oh wait, football and a parade.

Some people might enjoy Thanksgiving for the fellowship of family and friends amidst a cozy late autumn afternoon. Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Some might even look forward to Thanksgiving as the gateway to the impending winter holiday. Some may even say “the day before Black Friday.”

With any tradition, there always has to be a break from it.  Right? Some might eat soup with the hearty Thanksgiving feast and some might eat a Turducken.

I know you are thinking, what the heck is a Turducken?  Simple, tur for turkey, duc for duck, and ken for chicken.  Basically, it’s a turkey and a chicken holding back the only one of those birds that flies.  THE MIGHTY DUCK, quack.

Anyway, why the sudden demand for the combination of the kings of poultry?  I’m not sure. However, I am sure that it does not sit well with the Bird Rights Activists who think its cruel to stuff a chicken inside a duck and then stuff a duck and a chicken inside a turkey.  It’s just savage.

I’m sure those activists are outraged but just imagine people eating their bacon-covered Turducken and saying, “This ain’t no plain ole Thanksgiving dinner, we got a Turducken, bitches.”

Before I conclude, I’m confident that the Turducken is a layered concoction of poultry deliciousness. Personally, I will not break from Thanksgiving tradition until the creation of porn, better known as potatoes and corn.

That’s all I got for now, Happy Thanksgiving.
