The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 28, 2021

Calvin’s mom has some eggplant casserole if you’re really tired of turkey

Well, you can always put it in the microwave and heat it up.

I love turkey sandwiches. Cold turkey, wheat bread, Miracle Whip, and pepper.

Turmac were good cigarettes.

Is it sad that I knew exactly what he meant after reading the second panel?

I always warm mine up first.

I feel his “pain!!” I only eat corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day and Turkey on Thanksgiving Day!! Other times of the year – no thank you!!

;-)

I love Turkey and eat it year round but even I was going through the fridge tossing everything Turkey related 3 days is more then enough for me.

Microwave it, Then you can have warm dry turkey.

Let me see…turkey or green bean casserole? Turkey it is!

Pretty much everyone at work brought turkey sandwiches for lunch Friday.

I talked the wife into prime rib and baked potato for Thanksgiving. Today I had a great beef sandwich with the last if the leftovers. Now the budget limits us to just potato for Christmas……

Turkey tastes so much better than chicken, but given i have no family to have over for dinner, even a small turkey is too much for a single person to consume, and most restaurants these days don’t seem to serve turkey dinners so I rarely get to enjoy turkey unless I then eat turkey for a week and freeze most of the leftovers.

And this is the first of 3 or 4 2019 Sunday reruns following 4 weeks of daily 2019 reruns.

you could do what we do and make a shepherds pie with it. my family loves it, plus it’s warm. :d

Notice Brutus is not complaining.

One who loves Turkey, can buy just a turkey breast or wings or drumsticks or thighs and cook just what you want and not get a 22 lb bird. I eat Gobbler all year. But Uncle Ted is right, 3 days and no Cold turkey not for me.

I’m with him. That’s why God created microwave ovens……

Cold turkey and cold pizza are among life’s treasures!

Oh,Oh,OH! NOW I get it! Oh, my… ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahahaha! Oh my goodness! he he he he he whew! (tears in my eyes)

Harder than it sounds. Tastier than it looks.

I have no idea where it went. So, I guess I quit cold turkey too.

Anyone else read the 1st panel as “uncleted” (i.e. sans cleats)?

I am on Uncle Ted’s side.

I first read the second panel as ’What’s up, Uncleted’…

I’m not going cold turkey, I finished mine off.

Cold turkey is fine as long as it’s in a salad.

I keep reading that as “uncleted”, as in taking your cletes off.

This begs the question, what is the origin of the term ‘cold turkey’? The most commonly accepted explanation is that the original cold turkey was a combination of cold (“straightforward, matter-of-fact”) and the talk turkey, which dates back to the early 1800s and refers to speaking plainly. Regardless of its ultimate origins, the phrase manages to vividly capture the initial dread and discomfort that comes from immediately quitting something that’s addictive, from drugs to dating apps.

The first documented use of the expression as we use it today — to describe withdrawal — appeared in the British Columbia newspaper ‘The Daily Columnist’ in 1921.

John Lennon: ♪ “Cold Turkey” ♪ – depressing, but it’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it. It’s a scream!

Remind Uncle Ted the wonder of microwave ovens.

Alone for Thanksgiving, I had a frozen turkey dinner,(Great Value, with a fair amount of meat, for a frozen dinner. Sooo yesterday I bought 3 large slices of deli turkey, big enough to make a half-pound. Today I baked up big biscuits, one slice of the meat filled 2 biscuits, had my “left-over” sandwiches…(with Miracle Whip Lite) Delicious!….I told my deli guy that’s what I was going for.
