Just For You: A Blurry Turkey Head

Turkey Head
This is from 2008 when I bought three young chicken hens at auction, two of which turned into roosters just three months later. No, I didn’t buy the turkey too; the turkey head was attached to a turkey body and what do you do with a waist-high bird?

Cool picture! So, I guess you didn't quite get what you bargained for, eh?! ;-)

Nope. $66 for one hen and two faux hens. Sigh.

For anyone going to the Topsfield Fair autumnal poultry auction, I have this advice: Make sure your psychic sex-identifying skills are top notch. You won't be able to see the birds so you'll need to be able to see directly through 1) the cardboard box containers where they're kept and 2) seller-hoaxes. Plus, wear a warm coat.

Hi P.L. Frederick!

Thank you for the banner. You didn't have to but it's greatly appreciated :)

The turkey looks weird with that thing on its head... is that normal?

Hi, Nessa! You're welcome and, unfortunately for the turkey, Yes. I think it's a boy turkey and I think that lopsided lump is supposed to be sexy to girl turkeys, like a hat with a rakish tilt.

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
