Talkin' Turkey Tuesday, Too
November 24, 2009 We're continuing to count down (up?) the top 20 ways to wreck a turkey cake. Hold on to your giblets, folks, 'cuz this is gettin' gooood.
11. By confusing turkeys with bank-robbing peacocks:
(But isn't his little kerchief mask adorable?)H. By plumbing the depths of the phrase "intestinal fortitude":
Spoon. By anthropomorphizing a mushroom cloud:
Yes, seriously.(I know, right?!? That's what *I* said!)
17. Or by confusing it with the Magnificent Bagel-Nosed Falcon of Uganda:
(The resemblance is uncanny.)
And lastly...
20. By putting an Indian headdress on Cthulhu:
Nicole D., Marcy P., Sarah T., Diane M., Lindsay H., Michelle G., & Kristen R., I'm starting to forget what a turkey even looks like. I guess that means I'm ready to start decorating!

That mushroom cloud can't be a turkey. It can't.
Can it?
I feel cheated! That's not 20 cakes, it's only 17! "11" and then "H"??? What kind of numbering system is that? (hahahaha)
Do you have 3 more you could post? Pretty please?
My husband looked at intestinal fortitude and said "Oh, look, it's a poocock!" :)
Is Cthulhu turkey even a cake? It looks like it's all frosting.
Thank you for today's laugh!

My husband glanced over as I scrolled down to #20 and exclaimed, "What is that, a cthulu turkey!?!" ... and then he read the caption. And now I think he wants one for Thanksgiving.
you only posted 15 and not twenty.
Wow, "H" really does look like a cross-section of an intestine - poop contents and outer layer of connective tissue and all.
Happy post-turkey gastroenteritis day?
The last cake looks like they positively threw in the towel...
I think Cthulhu looks like Our Lady of Guadalupe done as a turkey.

I saw a turkey CCC at the grocery store that was actually *GASP* cute! I know! I'll have to take a photo of it if it is still there.
As always, your blog makes me smile even when I'm in the worst of moods. Thanks! ;)
Anna Marie
But I thought there was no spoon...
Love them all, but isn't it the Magestic Bagel-Nosed Falcon of Uganda?
-Elizabeth
Okay that last one got me! LMAO!
The first one looks like the NBC logo.
hmmmmm did you miss the day of kindergarten where they taught you how to count? ;-)
Every time I look at the last one, 'headdress on Cthulhu', I get 'Half Breed' by Cher stuck in my head O__o
ROFL Oh my, this was the best post yet. thank you, thank you!
Spoon? Okay, now you're not even trying. XD
Also, wow on the Indian Cthulu.
I think "Spoon" looks like Harpo Marx.
Did somebody mix their XIV and their XVI? :)
the bank robber looks a little scared (how cute!)
I'm still working on what type of bird #2 is (how appropriate!) because it's NOT a turkey. and it's laying on one poofy pillow. and its icing is giving me the finger (lower right) *raises eyebrow*
"By confusing "turkey" with "demon snuffleupagus...from Rio""-LOL so true! a little redfaced he is...
bagel-face looks like he got his pecker caught in a donut he was trying to steal. see how surprised he looks? (what's with his feather shape??)
tendrils on Indian headdress turkey? WTF?
and the one before him with the silhouette of a man on fire with two black holes(??) below? WTF? Is it a sci fi movie trip?
I want a Cthulu turkey cake too!
Say it with me Arthur!
SPOOOOOOOON!
(hoping someone gets the Tick ref)
WV: tiessume - these wrecks never get tiessume!
OMG!! Mushroom Cloud is not a turkey at all! It's Lady Tottington from "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit!" They forgot her teeth. Or maybe they were aiming for a clown or Gumby in a wig, but they GOT Lady T!

Burning man looks like a ghost with an eerie glow around him. Or like something in the opening of an old James Bond film. (The silhouette of a villain he shot, perhaps?)
WV elansess: If the wreckerator wore elansess maybe they could SEE these weren't turkeys!
Our Lady of Guadalupe--I can totally see that, folks! Especially with the colors.
btw, does it bother anybody else that these turkeys have real foot issues? Burning man has wheels, snuffy has appendages sticking out straight from his torso, bagel face has a really WIDE stance, intestinal fortitude has no feet, and Cthulhu/Guadalupe is totally levitating. The feet aren't attached at all!
WV: fortness. the kind of strength you need to look at these retch-inducing wrecks.
Love the Cthulhu cake!
Next up, Nyarlathotep?
These were all great but Cthulu Turkey had me LOL. Love this site!
I... I'm afraid these are the BEST demon cakes I've ever seen. Which holiday are we celebrating? I'm confused. Mardi gras meets Cthulu's legions!
I just, literally, did a face-palm.
The third one looks like a really weird muppet.
Holy Crap! I know where the mushroom cloud one comes from! It's 'Splodey, the Halifax Explosion Mascot!! He's tragedorable! Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz88kJSdT6Y" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">All about Halifax. (He's only about 18 seconds in.)
Plus, I love the Cthulhu cake. It's the sweetest world devouring demon I've ever seen. I lurves me some Cthulhu cake.
Wow... #20. That's a beautiful Thanksgiving turdkey.
I think the third is Elmo!
These are pretty funny, I just hope they were all tasty!
We just have to add that the first one isn't a turkey desperado--it's Gay Pride Mr. Hankie!!!
Hi, my boss sent me your web page today, and I did laugh out loud at some of the pictures. But I'm not sure I'm getting the joke. The only BAD cake is one I can't eat, and I wouldn't have a problem eating any of those turkey cakes. Now the ones with the plastic and the sticks might pose a bit of a problem. Nom nom nom nom.

An insult to Uganda and Rio. And mushroom clouds.
Need I say more?
I'm gagging.
Cthulu Turkey! Hysterical. Gotta love it lol ;) xx
