A Minnesota man basted a 72-pound turkey to trounce his sister in their annual sibling rivalry over who can prepare the biggest Thanksgiving bird.
72 Pounds. That had to be the worst turkey in the world. I can't imagine how tough and stringy it was. An old tom ready for disposal. 72 pounds. I never thought they could get that big. I see wild turkeys all the time and they are normal size. 72 pounds, I can't even imagine. 72 pounds of the worst meat imaginable in the civilized world. How awful.
The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
William Wordsworth
I wonder if I could get away with claiming the flocks of turkeys around our place were "coyotes" because I sure would like to get rid of 40 or 50 of them...
Happy Thanksgiving!
