qft, I only eat dirty bird once a year, and that's only because it's tradition, and I seem to be the only person in my family who does not like turkey. It's bland, tasteless, and if you don't pay attention it turns into dried cardboard in the oven.

God smoked turkey can be excellent.
I'm actually getting a smoker next week, but I've heard that smoking the bird can be pretty hard to do. Any tips Frazz?
Unfortunately no. Although I barbeque, sokke, and grill beef well, I am no bueno with turkey. Sometimes you have to go with the professionals. You want good smoked turkey you go to barbeque joints. You want kids off your lawn you come to me.
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it?

Nah, EVERYTHING just tastes better with bacon.
Feth Peta and the horse they walked in with.
We're having 'Roo for dinner to celebrate. Turkey is one of your native meats, Kangaroo is one of our (slower) ones. Emu run too fast and there aren't any crocs around here.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

Organic foods, and Fair Trade foods actually have a real meaning. When you get a fancy energy drink that says 'Natural as all hell 101%', that means absolutely nothing. All the company had to do was put it on the label, and wait for people to trick themselves.
I far prefer Fair Trade to Organic, especially when I consider the difference in actual impact. Do I want a family in some random country to eat well, or am I more worried about having 1% more toxins enter my bloodstream, along with the healthy dose of smog I ingest each day.
Fair trade is much more important. If you want organic veggies, grow them in the soil yourself, it's builds character... so you can go out and buy fair trade instead.
Since most of my exposure to the word 'Organic' was in a chemical sense (and I suspect the person I quoted means it that way), that is how I use the word. And as a chemical term, 'organic' means 'containing carbon.' So not only is your 'non-organic' food actually organic in the way I am talking about, so is the chemicals being used on it.
For that matter, if the food wasn't organic, you wouldn't get a whole lot of benefit out of it.
And for the fair trade stuff... Objection, relevance!

Have you ever said, "Can you Xerox this for me?", or something along those lines? Confused the term 'soda' with 'coke'? That is strong branding, and it represents a real service being provided through legitimate means.
If you don't like the fact that Xerox can be used in place of 'copy' (entailing a specific, versus a rather general definition), well... umm... drink Shasta cola instead?

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

That adverts most amusing.. those PETA fellas must be off their rockers.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
