Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 23, 2023

I’m going with spagetti today

Looks like Ham, not Turkey

@Calvin It’s a ham with a turkey bone stuck in its rear.

Does this mean he’s hamming it up?

Yep, purty soon they’ll all be ‘talkin’ turkey’.

Eat fast, burp later.

From the sleepfoundation[.]org website:

“Although it may be tempting to blame the turkey, the tryptophan likely doesn’t make you sleepy on its own. Rather, eating foods with tryptophan in addition to a large number of carbohydrates leads to sleepiness.”

Surprised the King isn’t eating with them.

Thanks for the reality check, Wiz!

If not, you can create something to put into their drinks, Wiz…

Today Wiz gets to eat in the castle. Not that little house like he sometimes does.

I’m with Wiz. I don’t want to talk politics with anyone, even if we agree on them.

Looks like he is about half there already!!!!!

That’s a good plan !

That’s the worst drawn turkey yet today!

Sigh. That tryptophan nonsense just won’t go away.

It’s a plan.

But you will miss the football game.

That meat is neither turkey white. Nor ham pink. Tryptophan may be the least of his worries.

At least everyone at our Thanksgiving dinner shares my view that trump is (fill in the blank)

Turkey, peas and bread is the entire dinner?

If anyone starts talking politics, just say, “Non-specific excuse!” knock your plate off the table, and then run for the nearest TV to watch football.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It looks like it’s ham for today, not turkey. Does baked ham have tryptophan?

Happy Thanksgiving toWizard of Id, thank you for remembering!

These days, politics are more potent than tryptophan.

As today’s xkcd comic (xkcd dot com) points out, surveys show most families don’t argue about politics at Thanksgiving.

Of course, the Kingdom of Id might not be “most families.”

Ugh, can we put the tryptophan myth to rest? It’s the amount of total carbs ingested, requiring increased bloodflow to one’s digestive system, NOT tryptophan, that makes one groggy. Sorry to be a pedant, but sheesh….

I see they actually did get a turkey, but the king got left out. Better hope he doesn’t find out or they’ll be spending Christmas in the dungeon.

Except, they are eating ham. No turkey in sight.

Good thing is after politics start you realize you won’t have to get as many gifts as you thought for Christmas.

I’m going with crab legs.

You’d think so, but no.

Wasn’t an issue at my house.

Today the official taster has taken leave and the fink will join if this bunch last half an hour after taking the first morsels.

They ain’t no way. There’s always room in time for politics.
