Wait 24 hours before searching the internet. But asking your relatives at Thanksgiving dinner is fair game (as long as they don't google it on their iphones). |
We had a pet tom turkey circa 70-71. I used to know what that thing was called. It could change size and color.
You're wondering if we ate him. We weren't planning on it. My grandfather liked to practice turkey calling with him. Our German Shepard, however, fancied a turkey dinner. |

Is that the waddle, or is that something else?

No, the wattle is the loose flesh hanging from the neck. Turkeys have several weird parts of this sort. |

We are in Costa Maya today - it is located on the peninsula of land directly in front of that bay on the Yucatán peninsula where you can sail your ship into but it is hard to sail out of. The land is pan flat here with impenetrable jungle forest. If you tried to walk thru it, you would have to fight for every inch.
I am happy to report we visited a Lost City of the Maya, for real! The city of Chacchoban was discovered by an American named Harrison in 1972. It has several Ancient Mayan Temples. I got some good pictures of Salty Dog and his wife visiting the city and Temples! Real pyramids!!! Good stuff. |

BC stands for the Boon and Crocket club who keep records of trophy animals bagged by hunters. |

If my memory hasn't totally failed me, I think that the Jackolope is a mythical beast (cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope).
Did you mean Boone and Crockett Club?
I have been know to be wrong (just ask my spouse).

Yeah it was a trick question. There is no such creature although I've seen mounted ones where antlers were mounted onto the rabbit. Your turn fleet |

In the Charles Dickens story 'A Christmas Carol' one of the food items served at the Cratchett Christmas dinner was pudding. How was the pudding cooked? |
