Let the turkey win. – via @gskull
Laugh it up, Butterball. – via @goodhands
May the fork be with you. – via @adventureran
I’d just as soon kiss a turkey. – @adventureran
Stuffing leads to Mashed Potatoes. Mashed Potatoes leads to Gravy. Gravy leads to Turkey. – via @H_Factor73
It’s as if millions of green beans cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. – via @cstephens2
I can’t see him! I can’t Shake ‘n Bake him! – via @ellingson
Flying through hyperspace ain’t like stuffing turkeys, kid. – via @TJ_Will

Uncle Bob doesn’t like you. I don’t like you either. – via @CatRey
Away put your congealed cranberry sauce shaped like a can, I mean you no harm. – via @apelad
Many turkeys died to bring us this meal. – via @rachel_renegade
These aren’t the mashed potaoes you’re looking for. – via @jennsaysmeow

Myself, the boy, 2 droids and do you want us to bring anything? Some wine, maybe? – via @odin42
