I saw a wild turkey flying a few feet above Table Rock lake a while back about dusk, believe it was looking for a roosting site. Very pretty.
Another pretty sight, copperheads swimming. As long as you were in the boat ...

My gosh that picture makes me feel old - look at those 1970s headphones and the LP turntable.

Jan Smithers, was on the cover of one of the news magazines such as Time or Newseek etc. She was on a motorcycle holding on to the driver.

It was a famous picture.

It sounds like she has had some mental/emotional issues, based upon that weird auto accident she was involved in a few years back:

Being married to Bert Reynolds must have taken it's toll on her as well.

Maybe my sense of humor is different than most but I never understood why so many think that is the funniest thing ever on TV. I watched the clips on YouTube and just don't get it.

OK, so for a radio promotion, they put a bunch of live turkeys up in a helicopter and drop them into a town square in which they crash into a parking lot and die. BTW, they never actually show any turkeys, they just talk about it.

Your; Wild turkeys can fly, a bit though"

They fly quite well and prefer to roost in trees. Domesticated turkeys bred for slaughter have lost the ability to fly.

The characters, perhaps one needs to know the characters and the backstory.

I think Les really steals the show in this episode with his “on the spot report” from the Pinedale shopping center.
