Welcome to my first blog entry! I used to keep one on Myspace a few years ago, but people stopped reading, so I stopped writing. But I don't really care who reads this. It's mostly for me anyway. However, for those of you who do feel like coming along on my penned journey, here's a few meat-n'-potatoes basics about me and my present life:
1) As you probably saw above, I'm a Nice Jewish Girl with an unhealthy obsession with Broadway musicals. That is 100% true. Seriously, ask me anything Broadway-related. I got a 101% in my History of American Musical Theatre class.
2) I'm 24 and still live at home.
3) I am head-over-heels in love with my boyfriend of 4 years and 1 month. We hope to get a place together as soon as we can afford it.... what does "head over heels" mean, anyway? Isn't your head always over your heels? I dunno.
4) Each blog entry is probably going to start out with a fun little quote or joke of the day (whatever keeps ya coming back!)
5) My favorite color is green (that green in Spring when the sun shines through the leaves.... yeah)
6) I love food.
Ok, I just spoke to my boyfriend and he recalled an interesting topic that we had discussed earlier. And since Thanksgiving is approaching, I figured this would be the perfect time to bring it up:
We all know turkeys are pretty dumb creatures, right? *How dumb are they???* Well, I heard that they're SO dumb, that when it rains, turkey owners have to bring their turkeys indoors because they look up at the rain with their mouths open until they drown!
Now, some of you may say that that's a myth and they don't actually do that and they technically can't "look up" because their eyes are on opposite sides of their heads. However, I did a little research and found this on Snopes.com:
Domesticated turkeys are not necessarily "stupid," but because they have been bred in captivity for so many generations, they lack the survival skills of their wild cousins: They're weak, they're fat, they're not agile, they can't run very fast, and they can't fly. All of this makes it more difficult for them to survive on their own in an unprotected environment, so when something unusual occurs (such as a storm), they tend to panic. Frightened domestic turkeys will usually run as best they can until they reach a corner or fence or some other barrier to progress, but even then they may continue their efforts to escape, piling onto each other and possibly suffocating those at the bottom of the heap.
Ok, so we've established from this myth-busting website that they may not necessarily drown via rainstorm, but after viewing some of the videos below, we can also argue that they are still pretty dumb.
Final Verdict: STUPID!
Now, in conclusion, I'd like present you with some prime turkey-themed YouTube entertainment to bring a smile (or at least a snicker) to your evening.
Ok, that's all I've got for this evening. Tune in next time!
Adios, au revoir, wiedersehen, ta-ta-ta, goodbye, get lost, get out!
