How did they catch it?

White meat for me please.

They raise those downwind of Three-mile-Island

Hey, that’s amazing! Pass the sweet potatoes?

Olive Oyl had this idea first:

It’s almost enough to make me go vegan. Almost.

Centi=100. Milli=1000. Turki=???.

In breaking news, "With the Turkipede population explosion, genetic scientists are now working on a way to engineer mouths where humans currently have ears. A scientist on the project stated, “People don’t use them anyway.”

My ol’ Grampa woulda said:

… with eight legs, you’d a’thought he’d been faster!

Another reason not to like drumsticks.

It’s got legs but didn’t know how to use them. Should have paid more attention to ZZ Top.

Everyone gets a leg!

invite Bleeb in to share

The drums! The drums!

Everyone gets a drumstick

You get a leg, and you get a leg, and you get a leg, and…

Isn’t that a John Madden turkey?

It looks like the John Madden turkey.

John Madden!

Is the stuffing Soylent Green?

Another turkey peed to make the gravy.

A drumstick for everyone! YAY!

Just another of the many reasons Thanksgiving is celebrated here and not in Europe, which is surprising since Europe should be thankful that so many American foods are banned in Europe. For example see cartoon above.

I would taste that genetic anomaly before deciding it came out great. It might have picked up the flavor of centipedes.

Fatty dark meat – bleah. Engineer a Partonurkey so there’s more WHITE meat.

Bleeb says these are common on his home planet. Like cockroaches. Ugh! Please pass the beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Turduckenipede.

Can I get a drum roll, please…

No thanks. I’ll pass.

They don’t look impressed.

GMO lol

Drumsticks for Everyone!!! Woo-hoo

Oh, dear Lord, let it not be!

an’ if you turn the lights off, it glows in the dark!

Must be popular at Ye Olde Renaissance Faire.

I swear I heard the cartoon bongos scampering sound when I looked at the turkipede…

More like a Turkipus. An arachnid

Turkopus or SpidurkeyI’ll pass. Gimme some cold rolls, thanks!

I don’t get why the turkey leg is supposed to be so popular. It’s a big bone, lots of cartilage, and too many tendons. Maybe it’s the modern GMO’d bird that needs steel reinforced legs to hold itself up. Gimme a thigh (White meat’s too dry)

Wonder if the ham had wings

There could be 20 drumsticks on it, I could care less. I like the breast, especially on a deep-fried turkey.

One of those turkeys they use for the NFL game on Thanksgiving.

It’s actually a turkey from Bleeb’s home world. Hi, Bleeb!
