4. Whitey's always keeping me down |
|
Especially after I've eaten about four pounds of it, followed by sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts with prosciutto, and a big ol' slice of pumpkin pie.

12. They're genetically bred that way because |
|
when the darker feathers are plucked it leaves a dark dot and consumers prefer not to see that on their bird. Picky - yes ?

14. I don't mean to put meaning where.... |
|
there is none, but those gross white freaks are a metaphor for what Americans do to so many things.
We take a car, and turn it into a gross parody of a car....like a Hummer.
We take beef and turn it into a fat mess, with no texture or taste.
We supersize.
The bird that Dumbya pardoned probably can't stand.
