Eat lots and get fat. JunoRedneck - 11-24-2004 at 09:03 PM
I get to eat lots of food and have uncomfortable conversations with friends of my parents I don't know that well. Including this one guy, who
says that everything is "fantastic". He's says it like every other word. I mean, it's good to be so optimistic and high-spirited
about things... but not everything is fantastic!!! I just want to slap him.JunoRedneck - 11-24-2004 at 09:03 PM

Over the years, the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line staff have had their share of memorable calls -- inquiries that stand out from the crowd because
they're heartwarming or amusing.
We asked some of the veteran staff members to tell us their favorites; plus, we rounded up a bunch of our own personal favorites from the Talk-Line
archives.
It's hard to beat the call from a trucker who planned to cook his Thanksgiving turkey on the engine of his truck ("Will it cook faster if I
drive faster?", but some of these come pretty close.
Warning: do not attempt to adjust your screen -- these are real incidents, true stories -- from the front lines!
Home alone, a Kentucky woman was in the doghouse when she called the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line. While preparing the turkey, her chihuahua jumped
into the bird's body cavity and couldn't get out. She tried pulling the dog and shaking the bird, but nothing worked. She and the dog became
more and more distraught. After calming the woman down, the Talk-Line home economist suggested carefully cutting the opening in the cavity of the
turkey wider. It worked and Fido was freed!
Roasting a turkey doesn't have to interfere with the daily routine, so said a retired Floridian. He called "Turkey Central" for turkey
grilling tips while waiting to tee off from the 14th hole.
Taking turkey preparation an extra step, a Virginian wondered, "How do you thaw a fresh turkey?" The Talk-Line staffer explained that fresh
turkeys aren't frozen and don't need to be thawed.
Don't wait until the last minute! On Thanksgiving Day, a Georgian woman took the "Be prepared" motto to heart. She had just agreed to
host Thanksgiving Dinner and called the Talk-Line a year ahead of time for turkey tips.
A Southern woman called to comment, "On Thanksgiving Day, the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line is more important than the President. He can take the
day off, but the Talk-Line staff can't."
A woman called to find out how long it would take to roast her turkey. To answer the question, the Talk-Line home economist asked how much the bird
weighed. The woman responded, "I don't know, it's still running around outside."
Tofu turkey? No matter how you slice it, Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without turkey. A restaurant owner in California wanted to know how
to roast a turkey for a vegetarian menu.
A West Coast woman took turkey preparation to extremes by scrubbing her bird with bleach. Afterward, she called the Talk-Line to find out how to clean
off the bleach. To her dismay, she was advised to dispose of the turkey.
A novice turkey-cooking chef wanted to know if the yellow netting and wrapper around the turkey should be removed before roasting. Envisioning a
melted plastic turkey blob, the home economist responded, "Yes," then offered complete roasting directions.

Did anyone notice how many people were online today? Theres usually like 2 or 3 lines of people who have visited today. But today theres 5 lines. I
bet it has something to do with the Winter Fling.JunoRedneck - 11-25-2004 at 11:14 AM
Ya, I think the .com people heard that the song was available to listen over here, so they rushed on over. Just proves that we are so much better than
.com. Plus, that song rocks...poobs - 11-25-2004 at 12:08 PM

Then you'll be extra hungry for Thanksgiving food EvilMotivator - 11-25-2004 at 01:30 PM
Oh man, I never eat on Thanksgiving. I hate all the food. Ew, and pumpkin pie? That's the nastiest thing ever. I almost puked three times
already. I don't understand how people can do those things to turkeys.JunoRedneck - 11-25-2004 at 01:37 PM
But Evil, my fridge is filled with pumpkin pie just for you!poobs - 11-25-2004 at 03:14 PM

That's the idea..:D
We have a Thanksgiving miracle on our hands..A sweet little grey kittie has adopted us for the day..This cat came up to me last night on my front
porch and just waltzed right in when I opened the door..She's so sweet! We let her out last night cuz we just can't have a cat, but she came
right back in this morning..We fed her and she ate like a little pig..She must have been starving.. She's now laying on my bed napping..She's so soft and pretty..She MUST belong to someone so we're going
to put up signs, but a part of me hopes that we don't find the owner..I already have a few names picked out..EvilMotivator - 11-25-2004 at 03:25 PM
Awwww, I love cats. They're so cute.poobs - 11-25-2004 at 10:47 PM
