On Thanksgiving at our house we like variety,
so we don't have turkey every year. Last year we had swan. It was nice;
everyone got some neck. Another year we had seagull. Delicious!
It's a little fishy, but at least there's no need to add salt. . .
This year we're expecting a few people over, so we're having flamingo.
And I'm getting the leg that folds up. They say the meat is sweeter
and more tender because the flamingo doesn't use it much.

Happy Thanksgiving from Willow Manor

ReplyDeleteLove George! Had the pleasure of seeing him live three times: In '74, Hippy Dippy Weather Man days, St. Louis, In Schenectady, Ny '87, and Rochester, NY, late 90's. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Tess!

ReplyDeletehappy thanksgiving...
Hilarious stuff ! Nice pic of the Flamingo on long legs. Have a Great Thanksgiving Day weekend.
ReplyDeletelove that guy, he made the best observations of the idiosyncrasies of life, have a happy one tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI licked a flamingo once. I was drunk, it was plastic and perched in front of a double-wide in a trailer park, but it still counts. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving. I had a pretty serious day filled with drama, gloom, and doom (not mine-the public) and you got me going for a minute there. My childhood piano teacher used to lie and make chicken for his family because he didn't like turkey. He said it was young turkey.
ReplyDeleteHeehee...young turkey...I love it...
ReplyDeleteStephen, I won't ask why you licked it...I don't think I want to know...but yes...it counts...
ReplyDeleteHappy bird-day, Tess.
ReplyDeletegenius...
ReplyDeleteWe tend to go for free-range signet... much more tender.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Tess, to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness. At first, while I was reading it I thought, "Whoa." I thought that perhaps Willow Manor got into their -- ahem -- game, but then saw the quote.
ReplyDeleteI love that you put something funny and ironic on your blog -- a nice diversion from the usual!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Neck of Giraffe is good for large families.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to George! And Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from an admirer in Blogland.
ReplyDeleteYou got me going for a bit there Willow :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to Willow Manor and thanks for another year of posts that fold out and expand all our horizons.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Miss Tess!

Thanks for that. I haven't read that particular comment from Carlin before. He was a genius and I miss his wisdom. My favorite is his discussion of his "stuff." Have a good holiday.
ReplyDeleteFUN!!....happy day!....smiles.
ReplyDeleteThat was wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Here's to the hope that the end of turkey day leaves you feeling all scarlet and gold.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for your kind wishes...it was a lovely day...
ReplyDeleteDearest Tess,
ReplyDeleteA Belated Thanksgiving to you and yours. You make me smile!!
Love and Hugs
