It may be the most notorious Thanksgiving promotion of all time. It is the 40th best television episode of all time. It's available in (semi-)entirety on
HULU. And the classic TV blog
offers an oral history. Happy thanksgiving, and, as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Poultry Slam and episodes from
1995,
1996,
1997,
1998,
1999,
2003,
2007 and
2008 are all available for your turkey day and I-refuse-to-even-look-at-a-Walmart day enjoyment.

Talking Turkey Thanksgiving for those in the $1.5 billion turkey business is as insane as Black Friday for retailers and Christmas for ministers. Ever wonder what
a day in the life of getting your favorite bird is like? By the way, your average run-of-the-mill Butterball ain't the only game in town anymore. Do you prefer free-range or antibiotic-free turkey? Fine.
How about the Heritage Turkey: a behemoth that boasts the ability to actually fly, looks like a B-1 Bomber on the wing, and has darker, more succulent gourmet meat. It never hurts to have any pictures, either. Happy Thanksgiving!
