Although white meat may be more popular occupants of the holiday kiddie table do not usually fight over chicken breasts (even if the table is completely comprised of boys). Clearly turkey legs are beter.
Here at Pepperdine we ask deep penetrating questions even about turkey legs. Today’s question: What is there to do with a drumstick once it’s on one’s plate of Thanksgiving goodness?
10. Look at it. The more you do that the less likely you’ll have to be wheel barrowed from the table because you ate too much.
9. Take some of that dark moist sensuous meat (just a little because you want to save most of it to eat) and throw it at a wall. Then watch it slide slowly down. If you can’t get to the wall by the time the turkey hits the floor then you have eaten just the right amount.
8. Feed it to your dog. Thanksgiving is a time for sharing after all.
7. Stick it in your nose. It could be funny.
6. Steal both drumsticks get some people riled up because they too wanted at least one of the sticks run around the house scream a little (or a lot) and in the end go back to the table and act like nothing happened. This way you’ll get some exercise before going into a food coma.
5. Put it in the freezer. Maybe when you open it back up it will have turned into a luscious vanilla cone with nuts and chocolate.
4. Use it to grease up your skin before taking the ritual Thanksgiving “Polar Bear Dip.”
3. Eat every last inch of meat off the bone and keep it in your bedroom as a reminder of how skinny you think you need to be by Christmas.
2. Use the bones to start a rock band at the table. You on the bones sister on the spoons Granny Goose on the saw and cousin Lou on vocals.
1. In the words of Missy Elliot “In your face. Open your mouth give you a taste.” That’s right eat it and feel good about it.
