Caption contest: Let's talk turkey

Thanksgivingcaption

[Don Morris | Times]

We believe marriage should be between one man and one turkey. Just kidding! But that's the kind of sophmoric one-liner we hope to get in our Thanksgiving caption contest. Write a funny suggestion for what these characters may be saying.

The best captions will be published in the St. Petersburg Times on Nov. 23 and the top 3 will win prizes. Please include your name and e-mail if you'd like to be considered for the contest. The deadline for entries is Nov. 19.

So, come on. Let's talk turkey.

*I've removed a phone number listed in comments (we'll hold onto that in case it's a winning entry). Best to just leave your name & e-mail address.

NBC did everything you told us to do Mr. Soros, so why doesn't the public believe our "news" anymore?

But you said you were a vegetarian!

Where's the Beef?

"Sorry pal,the economy dictates we downsize, we're having Cornish Game hens this Thanksgiving"

That was quite a feast for the eyes; now I need a feast for the belly!

Why are you asking about my burial wishes so close to Thanksgiving?

You're lucky I can't fly!

I thought you were a vegetarian... I can't believe what this economic situation has done to you!

"All I'm saying is, we need some change! This year lets give the turkeys a break and give a different bird a try."

You plan on stuffing me with WHAT?

No! I don't think the setting sun looks like a fried turkey egg. That's just species-ist, man!

What do you mean that we're not eating a plump chicken this year?

You don't look like I expected. So just what exactly did you mean in your personal ad "seeking plump turkey for a hot one nighter"

You said you were keeping your Ray Hawk! What else have you lied about?!

You said YOU were bringing the fishing rods! Now what are we supposed to eat for Thanksgiving?!

I changed my mind "what's for dinner." Lets talk fish. Sounds black and white to me. E. Dobbins

Hey Joe at least your 15 minutes doesn't include stuffing and gravy.

So this is life after a losing campaign Senator McCain?

oh my! you've been plucked! your gonna get cooked out her!

Sorry, I'm out of suntan lotion, but I hear butter will make your skin a nice golden brown.

You ATE your ex? I thought you said you HATE your ex!

Revision:
Cheer up Joe, at least your 15 seconds doesn't include stuffing and gravy.

"I thought you were having me OVER for Thanksgiving dinner!"

You looked a lot different on Myspace.
