Dad, you gonna deep fry that turkey? I know I would! 

It won't fit into my toaster oven, so I'm going to have to smoke him on the bar-b-que grill...  Now to buy some charcoal.  I also heard that there is going to be a pumpkin shortage.  So if you need any canned pumpkin, now's the time to buy.

Oddly enough, I did hear about the big pumpkin shortage on the news. So, she's already taken care of that.

Grill can be a little tricky. Now, if you said 'smoker'... now we're talkin!

I just place charcoal on both sides, and the turkey in the middle with a drip pan under it with some water, beer or wine in it.  I also have some apple wood chips that I will soak in water.  After 4 or 5 hours it should be done.  Hopefully the turkey will have one of those popups on it..

That'll work. My mom still likes to use one of those turkey bags and bake it on low in the oven for about 8 hours. I like to use some flavor injections and deep fry in peanut oil. Either way, turkey still gets on my plate... and who don't like turkey? Commies? lol

Never had a deep fried turkey myself, but it sounds absolutely delicious. Gotta try that one of these years.

I did it about 10 years ago and it was great.  Unfortunately, I never knew what to do with all that peanut oil so I think the fryer is still filled with oil in the back corner of the garage.

Most people strain it back into the plastic container once it cooled enough, and then re-use it next time. Then again, I did say most people.    You got some cleanup... or you could just buy a new one! 

...or you could just heat up what you got. I'm sure it's fine after 10 years.

You missed your disposal opportunity with the underground storage tank remediation project. They'd have smelled peanut oil and just shrugged.

Deadbeats..., my wife has 2 of them, brothers.

Her one brother retired at the age of 16.  Came home from school, sat down in front of the tv and didn't move for 5 years.  His father stopped buying him cigarettes and he realized if he wanted to smoke, he had to find money.  He did an occasional odd job but found stealing and hocking his fathers Snap On and Craftsman tools was easier.

Years later his girlfriend that he was sponging off of moved to Nevada.  He begged his mother for $4,000 to move to Arizona to get a job and live with his girlfriend.  Since living with his girlfriend worked so well, she gave him the money.  Three months later he called for more money.  It seems that his girlfriend didn't want him, so he just took a $4,000 vacation in Los Vegas. She sent him a bus ticket to get home.

Years later he found a job in Hawaii working on a fishing boat.  He begged my sister-in-law for $4,500 for a new start in Hawaii.  He got the job and later found out that the guy that owned the fishing boat only wanted to drink and not work.  So they drank up the remaining $4,500.  He called for more money or at least a ticket home, but my sister-in-law refused to take his calls.

Years later, he's now 60 years old.  My sister-in-law gets a call from the Maui Police. They wanted my sister-in-laws address and Soc. Sec. Number.  She wouldn't give them her Soc. Sec.#.  The police gave her a case # and said, "your brother checked into the Maui Hospital, and died within 24 hours."  She asked the police for a phone number to call them back, but they would not give her a number. Odd...  Was it a scam...?

She looked up the Hawaii police on the internet and called them.  Sure enough there was a case # and her brother was dead.  They did an autopsy, but he was fine other than being dead.  They sent his fluids to a lab, but it will take 2 to 3 weeks to find out the results.

So basically nobody liked him, and now we have a body in Hawaii that nobody knows what to do with...? 

Anyway, that's one thing that's going on at the moment....

That's literally the definition of deadbeat.

Indeed.  Sad, but well told story.

It's a cleanup job I'm not interested in.  Hence we never fried another one.  Plus I really love stuffing.

I feel sorta bad about trying to smoke a cigar last night.  It was a 4x60 gauge El Mas Chingon Room 101.  At least the cigar was included free in one of my Famous Smoke orders.  It started off with a good flavor, but I had to puff the hell out of it to keep it going.  I used a punch on it, and maybe I should have used a cutter...?  Now that I look at it, only the very end of the tip has ash, but the wrapper is burnt about 1 inch up as thou it was tunneling...?  I just tore an inch of the end off and it was tunneling.  It still has a good flavor to it and I'm almost tempted to relight it...?  mmmmm, maybe..

Don't feel Bad, Dad... If you relight it and it sucks ass, throw it out and grab something else... later, rinse, repeat

Well, it'll all be in the rear view mirror soon enough. You'll have nothing but fond memories about when you were a slum lord and had the EPA up your ass.

I think I'm going to give it another shot here in a minute.

I put some sandpaper on Petey's perch, so he can do the ol' soft shoe and sand his toe nails down.

Hey there, Mr.Atlantic. You bring back any souvenirs from the old country?

Well, that didn't disappoint. Sorry to hear about it?

Bottom line is it's nobody's problem, let him stay in Hawaii.
