Before I received a draft noticed which forever altered my destiny, I attended V.P.I., now commonly know as Virginia Tech. When I first arrived there, I saw this billboard which had the following on it: “Home of the Fighting Gobblers”. That’s right folks! I could’ve laughed. Now they call themselves “Hokies” and the turkey is now called “Hokie Bird”. Sheesh!

That would not have worked as that particular Pilgrim only spoke in an obscure language called Gobbledy. (It later developed into Gobbledygook.)

What did you do with the turkeys?
Gobble, gobble!
Did you have to eat them all?

November 1965, back when you could afford to buy a turkey!

Unfortunately, that Pilgrim is keeping the turkey’s location under his hat.
