CaptionThatCover:Turkey!

by SB Sarah Monday, November 17, 2008 at 01:18 AM

It’s soon to Turkey Day here in the United States of Carbs, and we’re happy to inspire your appetite, or perhaps drive it deep into the earth to hide until Groundhog’s Day, by allowing you to view and caption the following cover. What are they saying? What are they thinking? Dear GOD won’t someone think of the children? The blank eyed, oddly staring creepy children?

Best caption as chosen by me gets a $20 gift certificate to Amazon or Powell’s, your choice. Feel free to nudge my voting by telling me which in the comments is your fave.

And now… the cover. Feast (hur) your eyes on this!

[Thanks to Sharon and many others for the link.]

More,more,more!>

This just reminds me of the best dirty joke I was ever told in grade school. A Thanksgiving-based narrative, the joke wasn’t good coz it was funny--not by any adult standard--but because it had cussing, which is the hallmark of fine humor when you’re eight.

And now I won’t tell it. I’m enigmatic that way.

Just a follow up to that comment, my aunt thought for years (into her 50s) that the neck of the turkey that they include in the giblet bag was actually the turkey’s penis.  She had these notes on her recipe card that had a drawing of the neck labeled “penis.”
She’s really conservative, which makes the whole thing hi-larious.

Celebrating their first Thanksgiving on as Americans with the traditional turkey might not have been a good idea. The chemical in it that makes human men fall asleep watching football has a very different effect on their species.
