And no, I am not talking about some pallid tofu substitute. Today, and only today, I open the comment thread for Turkey puns.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Claire's Vegetarian Thanksgiving With Turkey
I'm going to have a Danish this morning because we won't have Turkey until later, alas we've left out the curds...I do this any longer I'm going to need Scotch.

Citizens of Turkey, Texas, we who are about to dine, salute you.
or in Latin:
Ave rancho imperator, moriturki te salutant.

Very cute in French as above, but I prefer They Might Be Giants version from Brooklyn....

Re: Claire's Vegetarian Thanksgiving With Turkey
I know it's bad grace to quote yourself, but as I already started filling my pun quota in "Should the Turkish People Be Offended?" (and perhaps they should be by my bad puns)...

The American Heart Association actually recommends that Turkey should seize Vienna, thereby bolstering the sale of wieners (named for Vienna, of course) made of turkey meat, which is lower in fat.
Farm Sanctuary [a turkey rescue organization] defends against this lowfat lust for turkey by encouraging turkey obesity. Not through force-feeding, mind you, which is cruel, but through a poultry obesity-acceptance program called Love Your Drumsticks.
Meanwhile, the same groups unionizing the Ivies' graduate students have also rallied to unionize animal research subjects, including the wild turkeys at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. "We are not just a bunch of birds," a spokesturkey announced of his flock yesterday between gobbles, "We are a great and powerful (albeit avian) nation!"

Re: Claire's Vegetarian Thanksgiving With Turkey
To that I'll add:
Turkey is Calling
and
Turkey Attacks!
(And since it is Thanksgiving, perhaps we should give thanks that our nation's turkeys seem about as fed up by the USPS as we are? Maybe they're not such turkeys after all...)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Re: Claire's Vegetarian Thanksgiving With Turkey
This is actually kind of a problem--there's real news to report from Turkey today, and no way to do it without it sounding like a joke. I can kind of see why they wanted to change the whole country's name.
