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.

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!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
