Nov 26 08 11:29 am Link Best episode ever! But due to this when I did see a turkey fly for the first time I was confused and quite scared actually lol.

Nov 26 08 12:59 pm Link I remember that episode! There are a lot of wild turkeys around here and they fly quite well, thank you. It's their fat domestic relatives that fly like bricks.

I closed in for a good picture and woosh, it disappeared over the trees, leaving me to question all the science I had gleaned from '80s television.

Talk about adding insult to injury. Nov 26 08 01:53 pm Link There are wild turkey in the neighborhood I grew up in but I didn't see my first one till I moved southward a bit more into the hicks and walked the path to my apartment around the corner and was confronted by 10+ startled wild turkey flying off. After that when I moved back into the city I saw wild turkey all the time. Especially on the one street. I almost drove into a hawk there once. It swooped right in front of my car. I know someone that drove into a flying turkey or did the flying turkey fly into their car windshield? Nov 26 08 01:59 pm Link a turkey lured me into this trap Nov 26 08 02:11 pm Link Almost forgot!

Nov 22 13 09:31 am Link I bet you guys were also misinformed about the sound that turkeys make!!!

We were spasming. I had such a TV crush on Bailey, too. Nov 22 13 01:30 pm Link Best Episode of WKRP hands down. And yeah, domestic turkeys have not been able to fly since the 50's. They also cannot breed naturally - All breeding hens must be inseminated with samples taken from breeding males (I'll leave the details to the fertile imaginations of SF2) My dad was on an insemination crew to help pay his way thru college - after a day of getting slapped / clawed / and shit on - - He and the rest of the crew was stopped by the cops. They stunk - were bloodied - and were covered in green shit and feathers. The Cop - "Gag - What in the hell were you boys doing?" Them - "officer please give us a break - we've been Screwing Turkeys all damned day long - - we just want to go home" The Cop - "Boys, head on home - I ain't hauling ANY of you into the station to tell that story" Nov 22 13 05:50 pm Link Vintagevista wrote: Nov 22 13 11:11 pm Link Justin wrote: When I moved into the countryside of Bucks County, PA I discovered there were wild turkeys here. My first encounter- I thought someone tossed a 30 gallon trash bag across the hood of my car. Nah- just a wild turkey landing~~~~ Nov 24 13 09:47 am Link hahahahaha WKRP was a great program. Bailey (Jan Smithers) was my heart throb too! Turkeys do fly.. but usually only short distances. Nov 24 13 09:28 pm Link OMG THEY ARE HITTING THE GROUND LIKE BAGS OF WET CEMENT! Nov 27 14 03:44 pm Link I love the thinly veiled Hindenburg references. Ahh, classic radio broadcasting. It was a great show. Nov 29 14 04:35 am Link |
