Well, it's Friday so I thought we'd have a little discussion about a topic that's come to my attention. I read in the paper last week that turkey farmers/ranchers/people that raise turkeys, have started giving them beer to fatten them up! For real!!! Those birds love the stuff! Personally, I can understand that because nothing tastes better on a hot day than a good "cold one". But the thought of turkeys drinking beer is a little overwhelming! Supposedly they prefer lager over beer. They say it gives the meat a better flavor and also the gravy is a bit darker. Can you just image a bunch of drunk turkeys running around - all glassy eyed, staggering, etc! Of course if I was a turkey I'd probably want to drink as much as possible and good and drunk. Especially before Thanksgiving when I knew I was going to end up on someones dining room table! I don't blame the little guys for loving that tasty stuff either!!!
SO..........after your turkey meal for Thanksgiving next week if everyone seems a little tipsy, you'll know why!
My computer........ah......I know some of you have been getting ads pop up for some reason. Have no idea why. The computer went into the shop on Monday and they cleaned it all up, etc. and can't find a single thing that would be causing the ads......SO - no clue! You may want to "Google" on how to keep ads from popping up on your computer. There's really not much else I can say or do but I am sorry this is happening.
Thanks for stopping by..................

Your card is so cute and just in time for Thanksgiving. I like the fresh colors and twine.
I'm not surprised at turkeys being fed beer in this day & age. I think I'll start making lasagna for Thanksgiving now!
This guy looks very relaxed! Or like he's planning an attack! Speaking of turkey, I think I need to see if I can find one...
I love this fun Turkey Lynn,and the design.

Poor turkeys....well, his eyes are looking a bit out of sorts. Hearing all this makes me happy I don't eat turkey. :-)
Cute card, Lynn. You've colored your gobbler up really pretty.
Maybe we should become turkey farmers! Fun card, love the turkey ad of course, the polkadot paper!
Wow I was leaving messages on this post and the previous post and mentioned having a beer for the turkey on your last post. OOPS! It belonged on this one. Anyway I love this drunk turkey and the background paper is such a gorgeous color and the orange polka dotted paper is perfect with the image. Have a wonderuful day.
Lovely card, Lynn! I've never had an ad pop up on your blog...just thought I'd let you know! :o)
What a precious turkey!! Looks like he has had so much beer, he can no longer stand! Ha!!
Love this delightful card, Lynn!
Love your turkey card and great coloring of the big guy too. Did you use pencils? Hilarious that they like beer. I think I'd want to tie one on too before my head went to the chopping block.
Well, no wonder my husband passes out in his chair after a turkey dinner~LOL I would drink too if someone was going to stick a loaf of bread up my butt~LOL Your coloring is superb and papers/color combo is just fabulous!
OK, your title really caught my attention -- and I'm so glad it did. This is a wonderful card! That image and your coloring of it are the total "bomb." I'm thinking he would be just the cutest on name place cards around the Thanksgiving table!
Gobble, gobble, hiccup! He is so cute! As for the pop-ups, My computer is brand new, and I have been plagued with the darn things since day one. Can't find the programs to get them gone.
Adorable card Lynn, I love that fun turkey image and it's colored beautifully!

I'm not surprised at that wee nugget of information - my DH, in his youth and when out with a group of other young men poured some excess beer into the pigs trough - the result was rather spectacular - and very noisy apparently!!

p.s. -= your card is great - and the turkey does look a wee bit inebriated :-)
HA HA HA! Nope didn't know about the guzzling turkey stuff. So funny. Can't say I blame 'em either...good thing they don't know what's in store for 'em. This card is so cute...you pick the best colors to go with your images. Great coloring. TFS & again, Happy T Day. Hugs from our house to yours.
LOL the image of a yard full of turkeys staggering around is rather hysterical!! Speaking of turkeys,love yours and the fun polka dots to go with him :)
ROFL!!! drunk turkeys!!! too funny :)
super cute card girl :)
Love the colors and the polka dot paper on this! Such a cute turkey image, and your coloring is wonderful!
Have to grin about a bunch of inebriated turkeys, wonder if it makes them less aggressive?
Hugs!
Too funny, Lynn, and your darling little turkey on this card looks like he's been dipping into the lager! Wonderful colors and the polka dots work marvelously. I hope he doesn't think those are spots in front of his eyes from too much drinking. :-D
Another fabulous card and love the Turkey.
Hugs

Cute card! We have so many wild turkeys in our yard! I yell at them all the time to RUN. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! They don't seem to understand....
Hey! I saw this freebie and thought of you! Perfect sentiment for yall' down there... http://doodlepantry.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=410&category_id=8&redirected=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=49
I plan on drinking heavily tonight (well heavy for me...!!!) after the concert.
I do believe that beer is rich in B vitamins... anyway drunk turkeys, that is a funny sight. What we humans can do in the name of increasing productivity.
Your card is so well coloured, Lynn, and the image is so darn' cute.
Love,

LOL, Drunken Turkeys. Now I really Can't wait for Thanksgiving! Gorgeous Card!! I love your coloring on this Turkey!! TFS
This card is fabulous- love the turkey colored just right!!! Oh dear heavens....that would be a funny sight to see a bunch of drunk Turkeys......! There is a dish in China called Drunk Duck- wonder if they feed the ducks beer....!
The turkey is coloured beautifully and good to see he has a smile on his face! Must be the beer!
I love how he's got his 'hands' folded together! And well, really, what goes together better with a holiday than a little tipple? May as well sneak it into some of the rellies via the food ;)
The image of turkeys staggering around drunk made me smile! And I love your beautifully coloured turkey card - fabulous!
Hugs, Kat x
Cool Mr. Turkey and I bet he's glad he'd on the card and not dinner! Happy Thanksgiving, Lynn!
So that's why your turkey is sitting...too tipsy to stand! :)
I read that article too and wondered myself, what the turkey house would look like with all of those staggering birds!
Your card is wonderful and drunk or not, your turkey is fabulous!!
This card just makes me smile.. what a fun image and the twine is perfect!
I did not know they are giving turkeys beer but yeah, I bet it does give it a different flavour! I see the same drunken turkeys in my head as you do! Can you imagine them snoring with their mouths open when they finally pass out!
Your turkey card is so cute Lynn you just make me laugh with your write up. Well at least the turkeys have something to be giddy about.
Hugs Diane
