Pictured above is Minho with the t-shirt Carolyn donated for Flannista's Thanksgiving turkey. If you remember from last year, Flann bastes her turkey with red wine doused over a t-shirt on the turkey. This year, Flann's turkey t-shirt has been around the world! It has been to the:
- Piggly Wiggly in Tylertown, Mississippi for some pork rinds and some fat back.
- Breast Cancer Walk in Clearwater, FL in August 2009.
- Obama inauguration in January 2009.
- Moon landing on July 20, 1969
- BP gas station in Clearwater, Fl where Carolyn also purchased beef jerky.
- Fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago.
- YMCA in Clearwater to sweat with the oldies.
- Susan Boyle debut at Britain's version of "American Idol."
- Hartford transplant center so Carolyn could donate a kidney to a complete stranger.
This t-shirt is gracing the Sassistas! turkey! What is gracing your turkey? Can you guess where else Carolyn's t-shirt has been?
Also, please share your favorite Thanksgiving recipes!
Over the past year, Carolyn's t-shirt went to Argentina with Gov. Sanford.

You know that famous painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? See those flags on the back wall? The white one with the red cross on the left? Yep, Carolyn's t-shirt:

I have shown grace and not purchased a slaughtered bird for Thanksgiving. I let a restaurant do it for me. But I require mashed potatoes and giblet gravy, green bean casserole, and scalloped oysters to complete the meal.

I hear Falcon was wearing Carolyn's t-shirt in the balloon. Oh, wait. He wasn't in the balloon.

Such a pleasure to be here amongst Flann's house of riches--much art, good music, fresh ground coffee----oh, and high thread count sheets. This gal knows what counts in life. She's singing in the shower right now, betcha didn't know that she did that.
Anyway, we came here to hand deliver the tee shirt, and to celebrate its story. For Flann & turkey, I agree to part with this historic bit of cloth, stained as it is with the sweat of Sarah Palin as she spritzed in the green room anticipating that bitch Oprah's questions.

Which of these men do you think was wearing Carolyn's t-shirt? http://doctor2008.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/obama_beer2.jpg Was it Henry Louis Gates, Jr.? Was it the police officer?

half-a: bet you've seen Carolyn's t-shirt -- wasn't it at the Precious Moments Park a couple of months ago?

Didn't I see it at the Obama's first State Dinner? Although because of the rain, it turned the night into a wet t-shirt contest.

You're right, Matiss! Guess who else has worn the t-shirt?:

Loved the yummy picture of Marge Simpson in her little see-through nighty, Matiss. You must've pulled that out of your super secret private photo stock just to share with us in the sphere. Makes me feel special.
To spare Minho the pain of seeing a large bird cooked in-house, we'll be eating Thanksgiving dinner @ Jerse's tomorrow.
