Angry turkey: 1; TV reporter: 0
By adamg on Wed, 11/11/2020 - 10:03pm
WBZ dispatched grizzled reporter Bill Shields down to Hyde Park today in search of the unstuffed murderbird rampaging through the Westminster Avenue area. Fortunately, because of Covid-19, Shields was equipped with a microphone on a boom, with which he was able to fend off the angry avian long enough to make his escape.

Do you have a link for this
As was explained to me by some regulars here a few months ago, just because you see something on the WBZ news, unless it is somewhere on the internet, it didn’t happen. I’m not calling you a liar, but based on the standards others apply, you might be seen as such.
I'm rooting for the turkey

Thank you
That was hilarious. He's mad because it's Thanksgiving.
*looks at watch*
Where is the TLF? Shouldn't they be explaining how this is a righteous protest on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the European Invasion of their ancestral homelands?
Sorry
Link added.
Thanks
And I did catch it at 11. It was pretty funny.
Magoo sez.
Magoo favors Benjamin Franklin’s desire to have the turkey as a national symbol. It is a majestic creature and is belittled by all of these posts. Magoo.
For once Magoo makes sense.
And paparazzi should stopped harassing this poor animal.

To paraphrase Mr. Franklin in the guise of Poor Richard, you truly must be one that is early to bed and early to rise. Magoo.

Franklin and the Turkey
Franklin never suggested the Turkey to be the national symbol. It's an urban legend.
Maybe.
But it’s a good one.
It was the turkey vote
that elected Ben Franklin President.
Did we give up?
When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Heck NO! Follow Me...
Not publicly at least
In a letter to his daughter Sarah, Franklin extolled the virtues of the turkey over the eagle. He thought the Eagle was a terrible symbol for the country. Interestingly enough, Franklin wanted the great seal of the US to feature Moses! I wonder how that would go over in today's society.

It was Stan Freberg
In his "Stan Freberg presents The United States of America"
We've already got a turkey
as Chief Executive for another 70 days or so. I assure you that is quite enough.
If you missed it
The interviewed victim is named “Poulette.”
I hereby award you your
I hereby award you your pedant pill @Eighthman.
SWALLOW!
Huh?
Huh?
If you have to explain it, it wasn't funny...
Poulette = Chick in French.
I caught that
And thought it was hysterical.
Is anyone else here old enough that hearing she beat back the turkey with her purse reminded you of Ruth Buzzi on Laugh-In?
*Raises hand*
I'm not that old, but I do remember Ruth Buzzi played spinster Gladys Orumphy, who often beat Arte Johnson's character, Mr. Horneigh (horn-eye) with her purse after he said something suggestive. Or, if she was on Dean Martin's roasts, she would take a few whacks of her purse at Dean or the male Man of the Week/Hour.
It's a ZZ Top song come to life
When you're driving down the highway at night
And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite
