Ouch. 50%. I should stick with Halloween.
90%.....Missed #2 and got a lucky guess that the pardoned turkey went to a farm
B - There were some questions on this that I'd never heard before.
B - This proves you spend way to much time a BWW playing trivia.
I do not like turkey.
I do not like dressing, stuffing which ever you prefer.
Thankfully I come from an Italian American family because 1/2 the table is all the turkey and stuffing all the other things that go along w/it. the 1/2 of the table is wedding soup, antipasti, lasagna, meatballs etc. I win!
I am a Thanksgiving Idiot. Someone pass me a Big Mac, would ya?
M - I only like the dark meat of which there's not that much. Turkey white meat is dry as burnt toast to me. (I think we're having pork this year.)
L - I'll have a Big Mac with you... TWO of them!!
