Maybe these inmates just need some good music to help them dine on their turkey meals. What if the El Paso County Sheriff piped in this little ditty by comedian Adam Sandler during mealtime? Surely this would put the inmates in the mood for some turkey...heh, heh, heh!

"The Thanksgiving Song"

"They wanna hear the thanksgiving song! All right.." "This is uhh, This is the Thanksgiving Song" "I hope you enjoy it."

[Starts playing]

Love to eat turkey

Love to eat turkey

Shout from Crowd: "I love you Adam!"

Adam Sandler: "Ohhh, I love you!"

Love to eat turkey

'Cause it's good

Love to eat turkey

Like a good boy should

'Cause it's turkey to eat

So good

Adam Sandler: "That clappin's messing my head up man. I appreciate it. But I was trying to think of the next line and all I hear is clapping. Here we go... Thanks anyways"

Turkey for me

Turkey for you

Let's eat the turkey

In my big brown shoe

Love to eat the turkey

At the table

I once saw a movie

With Betty Grable

Eat that turkey

All night long

Fifty million Elvis fans

Can't be wrong

Turkey lurkey doo and

Turkey lurkey dap

I eat that turkey

Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night

Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite

That's right

Turkey with gravy and cranberry

Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry

Turkey for you and

Turkey for me

Can't believe Tyson

Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat

You just can't lose

I fell off my moped

And I got a bruise

Turkey in the oven

And the buns in the toaster

I'll never take down

My Cheryl Tiegs poster

Wrap the turkey up

In aluminum foil

My brother likes to masturbate

With baby oil

Turkey and sweet potato pie

Sammy Davis Jr.

Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and

Turkey for the boys

My favorite kind of pants

Are corduroys

Gobble gobble goo and

Gobble gobble gickel

I wish turkey

Only cost a nickel

Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!"

- Inmates launch half-hour hunger strike about turkey diet

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Some Colorado prisoners are complaining their food is for the birds.

Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike.

The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel.

Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike lasted a half hour.

"Turkey, turkey and more turkey is not a form of punishment," the sheriff's office said in a tongue-in-cheek prepared statement. "The inmates accepted this reasoning and gobbled up their dinner meal."

The inmates had spaghetti for dinner Wednesday -- with turkey-based meat sauce.

It is my belief that turkey hot dogs are a sin against both God and man.

I could not even conceive of eating something like turkey chili.

Even with the overabundance of turkey, they're still eating better than most 3rd world types. Conditions could be a lot worse for them

Good friend of mine just got back from almost two months as a hostage in Iraq -- he got two months worth of bread and water and nearly died from it. I wonder how these liberal-pampered criminals would like to try bread and water for a month or so???

The use of anything by Adam Sandler would bring in Amnesty International and the ACLU

and i'd agree with them

North Carolina sends greetings, and thanks, to the law enforcement agencies of Colorado springs and El Paso County, Colorado.

North Carolina is neck and neck (if you'll pardon the pun) with Minnesota as the top turkey producing state. I live 125-150 miles west of three of the top five turkey producing counties in the nation:

Top Turkey Producing Counties
Duplin, NC
Rockingham, VA
Sampson, NC
Kandiyohi, MN
Wayne, NC
Augusta, VA
Swift, MN
Carroll, AR
Stearns, MN
Benton, AR

Naturally, "Big Turkey" wants you to think of turkey not just as a Thanksgiving (and maybe Christmas) food, but as a year-round staple. Hence, the emphasis during non-holiday periods on turkey in other than whole bird form: ground turkey, turkey sausage, turkey "bacon," turkey hot dogs, and turkey cutlets.

To me, some of the turkey products are not bad, which I realize is damning with faint praise. And faint is the word, as in faint taste. On the plus side, it's sometimes cheaper than pork, usually cheaper than beef, and most would agree, better for you (in terms of fat content). So, if you're a skilled cook, or know someone who is, you can manage to offset the turkey's blandness with spices and other ingredients, and good cooking methodology. I recently had turkey picatta (turkey breast cutlets pounded thin, sauteed in olive oil (maybe butter, too -- there goes that health advantage), with lots of garlic, lemon juice, white wine, and a couple of other things I forgot. It was better than "not bad," though few would mistake it for veal picatta.

I eat a lot of turkey these days. It's good lean protein. I will agree that it gets sickening sometimes, but if I can do it out of choice, these ol' boys got squat to complain about.

Oh yeah, that would ever happen. These liberal ninnies are pathetic and have no idea what abuse is. They would probably coplain because it goes against their Atkins or South Beach diets.

I hope your friend is ok after his real abuse as a hostage.
