Season's Greetings

Well, Halloween's over.
It's officially that autumny season again. Thanksgiving is on its way.
As if to remind me of this, on my way up the hill, I saw five of our resident mutant wild turkeys. Well, they're either mutants or they were crossbred with oxen because these things were HUGE. I'm opting for the mutagen given the presence of my own dear ROUSes.   Seriously, I was on the bike and the turkeys looked up from their grazing and stared down at me. They were that tall.  Eep.
As if that wasn't enough holiday horror for one afternoon, I came across this advertizment for Jones soda. Green Bean Cassarole? Ick. It's enough to drive a girl to drink. But not that stuff.
Although let's face it, the fruitcake soda is probably better than the original.

I'm still serving the traditional- chewable- forms at Thanksgiving this year. Let me know if you want an to join me in celebration of mastication.
We won't be having one of the local turkeys, though. They scare me.

 

ADDENDUM: The Jones cola was inspiring enough to make it to Reuters Oddly Enough section. I am *very* mad I didn't think of this pun first.

Doh, we'll be back in Wisconsinianinain for Turkey Day yet again this year. But I'll bet we can be talked into coming over for leftovers the following weekend! ;)

And....um....that soda? Eek. What's next, SpuzzumCola? :D

That's it. If I can find the liquid version (and the gastronomical fortitude to actually buy the stuff) you're getting it....
Frankly, I think the mashed potato soda looks close to what SpuzzumCola would.

SpuzzumCola. Thank you both for that image that is now stuck in my brain.
