I took the picture yesterday while my son, Sean, and I were waiting in line to pick up our Turkeys from a local poultry producer, Maple Lawn Farms. Typically, I get the birds on the tuesday before Thanksgiving rather than the Wed so there usually isn't a line. Not so this year! It was a pleasant wait but there was an awkward moment as the line snaked past one of the Turkey pens where we were eyed very menacingly by a bunch of Turkeys who must have known what was about.
Thanksgiving is a bit of a chaotic show in our home - I've lost count of the guest list (things like that are above my household pay grade) but I think it's above 30 by now.
I am worried about a playtest Ernie (Architects of War) is running this Saturday using his developing American Civil War skirmish rules - after the amount of Turkey and supporting food units that I plan to consume today I may not be able to reach any mini's in the middle of his table!!
Have a great holiday everyone.
Mmmmmmm, roast turkey, sound like another excuse for a beer.!!
ReplyDeleteDoes one ever need an excuse for a beer?
ReplyDeleteThe world would be a much sadder, albiet sober, place if that was the case.
"shudder"
In the states, turkey has an amazing property that requires males to consume huge quantities, stumble over to the coach and fall asleep watching the NFL. I am sure this is the highest level of attainment any civilization can hope for.
