The Mic is On: We’re Talking Turkeys

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

The Birds, the Flops, and the Foolish Folks

And the WKRP Turkey Drop episode

Surely you’ve got a turkey story to tell.

  • Is it a fine family dinner?
  • Is it a plan that crqshed burned?
  • Is it a date that didn’t go quite the way that it might have?
  • Is it something that only a turkey could have done?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links.
