Turkeys.
A COLD SORE.
Just when I managed to get the Adult Acne Eruption on my chin under control, this happens.
I am going to be nothing short of a scabrous beast-woman at my high school reunion, I'm telling you. I expect to wake up on Saturday morning with a full beard and a third eye.
But I've paid in advance, and the check's been cashed, so I gotta go through with this, facial welts and all. Maybe I'll paint my face green and don a fright wig and show up and be all: "Wait? You mean this wasn't a costume party?"
Kill me. Just kill me now.
Thanksgiving is upon us, and it just plain wouldn't be a day of thanks without the Stupid Gay-Assed Turkeys.
In more polite circles, we just call 'em "Turkey Cookies." But let me tell you, when you're making these at 8 o'clock at night and you find yourself staring at a veritable ARMY of them, you giggle like an idiot and refer to them as "Stupid Gay-Assed Turkeys."
Understand that I am childless, quite by choice. I don't HAVE to make these for a kid's class. I make them for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it's now more or less EXPECTED of me. So-and-so brings the green bean casserole, Auntie Whatserface brings the yams, and I bring the Stupid Gay-Assed Turkeys.
My sister beat me this year in terms of number of Stupid Gay-Assed Turkeys produced. She topped out at 40 last night, and sent me photographic evidence of the output:
Laughed my ass right off. We've been doing these for years now, and it's NEVER NOT FUNNY.

I hate candy corn, but I'll eat them anyway, just because it's tradition.
