Another episode of Dysfunctional Family Theatre ----The Thanksgiving Special

Well, here wo go.  It's that time of the year again.  Yup time where geezers can pass on fine family traditions to bind the family together.  Ok, odd family person, you don't actually "Bind" the people in the family and make them stay in the basement.  It means to keep them close.

Ok, today's special holiday (American Thanksgiving) is all about giving thanks.  But thanks for what?  I'm particularly thankful that I can pass on a great tradition to another generation.  What tradition you ask?  The one where we make a national holiday based upon shoving moldy bread up a dead turkey's butt and baking it.  Now you may think, this fine tradition (well basted in alcohol....no , not the turkey, the family members) would be enough.  But no, someone in the family must have thought turkey was not sufficient.  Voila, the creation of that new tradition:

The birth of the TURDUCKEN.......Take a chicken.....stuff it in a duck, put the duck in the turkey, and cook the whole thing together.   How fun.  Looks great. 

How could you improve on that you may ask.  (OK, you may not ask, but that doesn't stop the rabid grampa blogger).   First you find the odd family cousin who lives somewhere in something we call a holler.  It varies by region, but you get the idea.  Present him (this may be the same family member who misinterprets traditions that bind) with a challenge.  Bet you can't make this Turducken any better......  Of course, this is like bear bait, and wierd cousin Beauregard comes up with the addtion of BACON.....(Just because he's weird, doesn't mean he ain't brilliant you know):

 

So there you have this week's issue of Dysfunctional Family Theatre.....the Thanksgiving Special
