Talking about turkey, have you ever been to Strongbows restaurant, in Valporiso, Indiana? They have a huge turky farm, and when i was younger, driving between Chicago and Gand Haven, we used to stop there for dinners....

I have no idea how big the bird will be as we will be at the in-laws this afternoon. Over-cooked turkey, lumpy gravy, and a father in law that smokes like a chimney while cussing out the Lions isn't my idea of fun.

I only look forward to sitting down at my own home for Friday's meal which is going to be corned beef and cabbage.

I let loose a 20 psi turkey fart.

Now that the house is cleared I can relax and watch the rest of the game in peace.

Wasn't that 81 yard touchdown a great play........ Daddy dropped so many F-Bombs he had all three of us son-in-laws doing the ROFLMAO routine the rest of the afternoon.

On an even better note, overtime meant that dinner was mostly cold by the time we were allowed to eat it. It made for the perfect excuse to take a pass on most everything and make a quick exit for home......

After stopping for a real meal on the way.

Really hoped, the Lion's could have hung on and won....Alway's good, to see the Cowboys and especially the Jets get hammered....
