Flipping The Bird (Happy Thanksgiving!) By Bob Gordon

by MBIP


Marty's taking a Thanksgiving break today and being the MBIP holiday designated driver I’m putting up the post today.

Here's some funny and weird Turkey Day images for all to enjoy before the holiday madness begins. Just add stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and of course your drink of choice and enjoy!

For over 50 years this has been the usual depiction of what Thanksgiving should look like.

I certainly never had a cozy of a family gathering and about everyone I know hasn't either. Maybe something like this would be more realistic.

In the early 1900's postcard artists had an array of odd concepts for Thanksgiving.

Magazine ads in the following decades had their share also. Somehow Budweiser worked in Native American heritage with selling beer.

Of course, Peoria's Pabst couldn't pass up a good chance either.

This is an ad for either the worst Thanksgiving dinner or the loneliest bachelor's feast in the world.

Beano alert! You'll be hearing more than "ooh's and aah's" about an hour after your pilgrims digest these beans.

After a couple of Thanksgiving brews you may want a pot of coffee to sober up!

Comic books had more than their share of festive covers. Check these out.

Hollywood, the city that has produced more turkeys than any other city, had to get in the act. Bob Hope shows us how it's done below.

No wire hangers in this stuffing!

Now this is more my crowd!

Marilyn Monroe and turkey. Insert breast joke here!

And of course if it's good for movies, it's good for TV!

Bewitched's Darren as a pilgrim.

I Dream of Jeannie’s Barbara Eden decked out in pilgrim duds.

Can't beat this picture with a ten pound turkey leg. Pictured below is a Thanksgiving dinner with the combined casts of Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.

Don't know what would drive someone to get a Thanksgiving or turkey tattoo...

Here's to all our readers, hope you have a smokin' Thanksgiving!

You tell me that you've got everything you want,
And your bird can sing,
But you don't get me, you don't get me.
