turduckin

“something big went on today and i missed out on the action....

but...

a thread i just purused made me think of this item called a Turduckin

apparently its an unholy trinity of a chicken - inside a duck - inside a turkey

supposed to be quite yummy”

“dude..i couldn't make this kind of weird stuff up

turduckin link”

“turd duckin'..... like, you duck turds???

LOL”

“does it come in a foil pouch?”

“hehe - no its real - and i'm going to have one at a friends house for thanksgiving!”

“can you buy it at Wally World?”

“twinks......what state are you in”

“John Madden opens one up every year at Thanksgiving on Monday Night Football.”

“the state of exhaustion.

i just worked me first 50+ hour week...

and I'm just an executive admin!

dang - but they keep throwing more responsibility my way - tell me, why is someone with my training (arts) proofing numbers for a huge bank? and if so, should i get a raise?

seriously - since i transitioned into thi snew role - my responsibilities have tripled - no - after this week week - they've quadrupled (sp?)

but my pay rate is still the same...

hmmm?

i think it fair to ask for a salary increase - what do you think?”

“Somebody saw "ER" last night, didn't they?

I'd never heard of one before.

That may be a Good Thing... I don't know....”

“Tilt, that's where I saw it on. I was trying to remember it. Never heard of it before.”

“There's a place here that deep fries them and sells them. I've never had one though.”

“When I first saw this thread, I thought Twinkles was trying to avoid getting hit by all the #&%!$ flying around the site, LOLOL!”

“Turduckins are tasty. We had one for thanksgiving once. Highly recommended. I seem to remember that they were boneless to.

Twinks you are at a bank right? That's how they operate, they get you to take on four times the workload for the pay of one person. As far as your degree, I'm the same way. I hold a BFA in Painting and drawing concentrating on figurative art and here I am running a web shop.

Little known fact. A few years ago the tope executive of fortune 500 business were interviewed and asked what they held degrees in. 75% held fine art degrees with concentrations in the performing or applied arts.

Screw business degrees.”

“Oh yeah definately ask for a raise. Tell them you need to be compensated porportionaly to your work load.”

“that sounds good. what kind of food god came up with this idea?”

“You better make sure the higher up agrees that your doing a good job handling the increased responsibility before you go ask.

Not to imply that you aren't, but don't shoot yourself in the head. Most supervisors also like to let you do the jobs for a few weeks or so before they'll pony up extra money.

That's been my experience anyway.”

“Good advice from everyone.

I've found the best way to ask for a raise is to ask if your job title is indicative of your responsibility. Every time I've done that, I've gotten a bump in title and pay.”

“They don't pay you more right away because they aren't sure you can handle the extra money!

When I was at GM, it seemed like I had my new job and all the responsibility for 3-6 months before the title and pay caught up to me. Around here, banks are notorious for increasing workload without increasing compensation.

HPM - I question your statistics. Do you have any reference for that? I would agree, however, that the number of people with such degrees in leadership positions would probably be surprising.”

“Apologies...this is turduckin thread. I meant to say it sounds yummy and would be a vegan's nightmare.”

“No Phil I don't.
That tidbit of info was told to me by the CEO of AT&T Universal Card before they were bought by Citigroup. At the time he did tell me the source but I have long since forgotten it.”

“Now take that Turduckin, stuff it with sausage and wrap it in bacon... Then you deep-fry it?”

“Turduckens originate in or near New Orleans.”

“I'm surprised there isn't a PLATYPUS in there somewhere....”

“No, but there is nice spicy andouille sausage stuffing.”

“I worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi one Summer long ago... and there was a Cajun Gentleman who worked in the galley (kitchen) of one particular hotel platform. (All the older guys liked to get us wet-behind-the ears kids together and tell us crazy crap...)

Anyway, one evening he says, "You know -- State Bird of Louisiana is de Pelican. You see pitchers of um all over de place, but you never see a Pelican no more in Louisiana."

"You Know Why?"

We shook our heads 'No...' and he says:

"Dat's 'cause all us Coonass, we done ate 'em all!"”

“that was halarious...”

“Ya just can't make up stuff like that... mucho bizarro”

“Well, I just saw the piece Jeanie Moos did on CNN about Turducken, and apparently for Folks In The Know, it's also known as "Gobble-Quack-Cluck".


Isn't that a sign of the Apocalypse or something?”

“If I was ever on Death Row and asked what I wanted for my last meal, I would seriously consider requesting a Turduckin. For one thing it might prolong the execution a few hours, and for another I would probably be discussed and remembered in forums like this until I was immoralized.”

“I would ask for a dodo bird drumstick. If they didn't have it right away, I could wait...”

“I didn't know you wanted to be an immoral person...immortal yes...immoral no. LOL”

“Stik beat be to it.... You Gunky!”

“LOL! Around here "immoralized" is more like it!”

“yummy stuff that thar turduckin!

yum yum - turduckin in my tum-tum”

“You actually... bit a turducken?



And lived?”

“It's a waste of a perfectly good turkey.”

“I've been duckin' three turds for a while. What do I win?”

“do ya'll deep fry that there turduckin ?

do ya'll coat each bird with cajun spices?”

“"Silver Bells" Based on the performance by Bing Crosby
"Chicken Strike" Parody by Royce Miller

Hear them clucking, in a chorus
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of time off
They got together, though the weather wasn't agreeable
And decided to hold a walk-out

Chicken stike, chicken strike
There'll be no eggs in the city
Cluck and pluck, just your luck
No omelettes on Christmas Day

See their head gear, holiday wear
Little scarves of red and green
They decided to get really festive
You better shop up, better stock up
If you wanna make a cake
Cause the chickens will strike for a week

Chicken strike, chicken strike
There'll be no eggs in the city
Cluck and pluck, just your luck
No omelettes on Christmas Day”

GHOST CHICKENS IN THE SKY

(tune: Ghost Riders in the Sky)

A chicken farmer went out, one dark and dreary day.
He rested by the coop, as he went along his way.
When all at once a rotten egg, hit him in the eye.
It was the sight he dreaded... Ghost chickens in the sky.

Bok, bok, bok, bok
Bok, bok, bok, bok
Ghost chickens in the sky

The farmer had raised chickens since he was 24.
Working for the Colonel for 30 years of more.
Killing all those chickens and sending them to fry.
Now they want revenge... Ghost chickens in the sky.

Bok, bok, bok, bok
Bok, bok, bok, bok
Ghost chickens in the sky

Their feet were black and shiny, their eyes were burning red.
They had no meat or feathers, these chickens were all dead.
They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw.
They cooked him extra crispy... and ate him with coleslaw

Bok, bok, bok, bok
Bok, bok, bok, bok
Ghost chickens in the sky.....”
