Kickass bird talk on Thanksgiving
Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports on a meeting of the birds:
Turkey: “Why us?”
Pigeon: “Because you are big and dumb.”
Robin: “And your call–‘Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!’ practically commands being eaten
Turkey: “Damn hard for us to use something like your ‘Cheer up! Cheer up,’ this time of year.
Sparrow: “And there is nothing cute about you. You look as if you were made from spare parts.”
Finch: “Yeah, your best photo pose is upside down on a platter.”
Crow: “You have no meaningful cultural message to discourage your role. Look what we’ve done with ‘eat crow’.”
Turkey: “Well, we had a dance—‘Turkey trot’ way back in ragtime days.”
Chickadee: “It’s very simple—people would rather eat you than dance with you.”
Turkey: “Oh, shut up. You have no right to speak on the issue—how the hell would you make gravy from a chickadee?”
Wren: “Happy Thanksgiving!”
