Good luck with the surgery-and the Turkey. For obvious reasons, I second the name “Jerry Nelson”.

Fantastic phrases as always, but I'm chortling in the airport at "a bunch of bony meatbag locusts"!!

Good luck with the surgery and I hope the recovery is speedy and as painless as possible! 💖

Always brings me joy to make someone laugh, and I love when writing about phrases generates even more phrases. An inexhaustible supply! Thanks for the well wishes; much appreciated. Hope you're settling in well at the new place.

Oh my GOD this is awesome. I'll have you know I sat and laughed at this for a while! Will present to the family for opinions. The one kid will remain steadfast, damn her.

Love the implication that the Turkeys are aggressive because they are trying to mate with you. Also, as someone who ghost writes romance novels, the most popular himbo names seem to be: Beau, Cash, Ace, Harlan — though tbh Harlan might veer right into slutty territory.

The turkey who chased me was way more bent on murder than humping. At least I hope so! Also: Harlan! What a disappointment to see that as a himbo name; such a classic!
