And here I thought Washington DC was the Turkey Capital of the World. Worthington, Minnesota. tries each year to lay claim to Turkey Capital but we all know because everything is bigger in Texas, well they just can’t be. God bless Cuero, Texas….
THE TURKEY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Turkeyfest is the latest iteration of a long line of turkey-related festivities in Cuero. The tradition dates back to the late 1800s, when local farmers would drive turkeys on foot across the countryside to sell at the market every autumn. The birds were presented to visiting buyers, slaughtered, processed, and shipped to arrive in northeastern cities in time for Thanksgiving—likely explaining why the festival has long been held in October, not November, as you might expect. The sight of thousands of turkeys parading down Main Street attracted crowds, and legend has it that one of the big-city turkey buyers admired the scene and made a remark along the lines of “You should do something with this,” planting the seed that an annual turkey drive could be a stand-alone attraction for the town. For the past fifty or so years, the Great Gobbler Gallop has played up a lighthearted rivalry between Cuero and Worthington, Minnesota. Both towns call themselves the Turkey Capital of the World; to settle the debate over who truly deserves the title and award bragging rights for the year to come, Worthington ships one of its turkeys to race a Cuero bird at Turkeyfest each year.
You will just have to RTWD Texas Monthly article to find out if CUERO has retained her title.
Well ain’t that just special.
When asked if no one is above the law nasty pelosi said pass me the vodka and then asked do you have any insider info for me about stocks?
Some animals are more = than others and they’re all totalitariancrat animals.

I’m telling you, these two are the best ever. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Nope, she’s Methodist.
You mean Biden lied? That he pardoned his POS kid?
I’m SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I SAY!
PS: Now that Hunter has immunity, can he be prevented from taking the Fifth in any related investigations that may pop up?
And I’m sure at this exact moment he’s in the process of sending another sternly worded fax which will return with an error code of 10x-I.D.I.O.T https://x.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1863390444802953689 also sure that when the time comes to confirm Pam Bondi he and the Texas cornhole will vote for alligator garland again because he promised to keep politics out of the doj. 😂… Read more »

Joe Biden just pardoned his boy, film at 11. I’m checking it out now on Fox.
Dan Crenshaw and Crenshawettes got a new gig.
Another young athlete takes an unhealthy dive during a game.
Suddenly and unexpectedly. It’s still happening.
The Santa Clauses are all on display. I had to move a bunch of books, take my canned food items upstairs, and haul in the Santa tubs from the garage.
And I told Hubby I wasn’t going to work in the yard today so I wouldn’t strain my back.
Okay gang. I need options for K-cup brewing other than Kureig.

This is rich as cream. Obama is famous for getting other people to do his dirty work so his fingerprints appear nowhere. Too bad if you get caught. Barack doesn’t even remember your name. “Is it fair to point these things out?” Clooney contined in the op-ed. “It has to be. This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing… Read more »
Propagandist media in meltdown mode as Trump appoints ‘loyalist’ Kash Patel to head the fib.
i guess the creature from the Kenyan lagoon never appointed any loyalists during his 12 year reign as Dante over his Inferno?.?
I just can’t believe Dr Phil missed this one. Why would anyone believe Dan Crenshaw would tell a lie ? And the stupid voters in Texas Congressional District 2 continued to vote him back to DC with 66% of the vote. Members of Congress make $174,000 a year salary, which includes additional funds for travel and housing, but it did not appear… Read more »

This is a beautiful, swanky neighborhood. If the insurance company pays for the rebuild, this guy will have to move somewhere else because he will be the laughingstock of his neighbors for years to come. A $3 million mansion in a high-end Connecticut neighborhood met a fiery demise on Thanksgiving when the home was inundated in flames from a turkey… Read more »
For the pure entertainment of it, do watch the Brits suffering through their own Bud Light debacle. (Why is it these men always look sloppy ?)

Here is Douglas Murray on the great Rita Panahi’s show from Australia just taking Angela Merkel apart over all her stupid decisions that ravaged Europe. Merkel’s legacy will be at least as bad as Obama/Biden/Harris.
I never paid attention to Tecova boot company, but they have been running their new TV ads constantly up here on Fox. One of them showed a couple shopping for boots in a store. I didn’t know Tecova had 42 stores. I thought they were an online outfit. It turns out they have dozens of stores. Anyway, I’m looking through… Read more »
My @ 8:09 AM; I actually saw a young NASA/JSC (Houston) Engineer use one of those as a Urinal at Edwards AFB CA. back in the 80’s. I’ll just keep his name a secret to protect the guilty. 😉
bsue BTW; When Lil’ Dawg gets back in bed with you after going out to P on the frosted ground, those little toes are COLD. 😉
It was 43 when I first got up… Shortie was not amused but now that it’s up to 48 she seems quite content
We are getting the non-precipitation southern part of that huge Great Lakes blizzard burying upstate New York and New England.
We hit 24 degrees at 7 AM with a RealFeel rating of 16 degrees. We’re all the way back up to 26 right now and it’s cold in the kitchen. The windchill factor is strong for the next 7 days. No precipitation but the RealFeal temps are below freezing, mostly in the low 20s. It’s no time to be outside.
Spotted over yonder; 20 Man Urinal. 😀
Oh and I have a great story to go with that.
Well it’s 35 degrees here, up from 30 at 4 AM and 29 about daylight so it is DANG COLD! And I don’t like it one bit. 29 yesterday morning and it’ll be low 30’s Monday and Tuesday and back to 29 on Wednesday. Thankfully it’ll be low 40’s by Thursday. Well Texas and Georgia will meet for SEC Championship… Read more »

All my life I rooted for Texas A&M whenever they played against anybody but Texas. However, I was against anyone who played against the Texas Longhorns.
Years ago, my second favorite teams for a very long time was the Pittsburgh Steelers. I rooted for them against anyone and everyone but the Houston Oilers.
who allowed that crimson low tide fella in here to spread his pro Aggie propaganda?;)
Rematch with the Bulldogs.
Hook ‘em.
Too damn sweet to hear The Eyes Of Texas played in that amazing Kyle Field.
My Aggie friends and family have never understood how I can be an Aggie fan all these years and root for them. And to be so disappointed in them all these years. They know my blood runs Burnt Orange. The difference being that they could never hope for anything good to happen to the longhorn football team. The Ags have… Read more »

The Aggies are scary quick and smart. They simply haven’t had the good luck. I’ll be nervous as all get out until this game is over.
It’s going on 9 o’clock. I guess I should consider eating supper.
But I’ve been busy.
Waited 13 years for this football game.
This kid plays like he has 2 ex-wives and a late Cadillac and mortgager payment,
Someone needs to take out Mr. Lee.
Cheap call. Not targeting.
Completely unintentional.
These two coaching staffs are very, very good.
Not as epic as WKRPs turkey drop. But hey it is Barney
