Does anyone know how to SMOKE a turkey?
 
If so, where do you put your lips?

You already know, honey.
Get started, the meter's running.

TxTravelPro Nov 22nd, 2004 08:08 PM

Ha! That's a good one, 8JT8TER
Your screen name is like a license plate.

You'll need a good supply of rolling papers.

Ok, TxTravelPro, I'll tell you the story behind 8JT8TER. Years ago I used to hustle pool, I played this one Georgia redneck a lot, took his money a lot, talked trash. He always said I was nuthin but a agitator. The way he pronounced his a's and the fact I played, thus 8JT8TER. I'll never forget that guy, I was probably taking money intended for his wife & kids. People today say I still 8JT8T.

Laugh if you want but I actually have somked turkey in parts. It takes all day but turns out great. I know a guy that does this in a small smokehouse for several dozen people in a small town. They swear by it.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, I'm more of a traditional guy. I make mine on the grill.

placeu2 Nov 23rd, 2004 08:21 AM

and by the way agitator....you must be better with a 44 than most people. I prefer a 12ga.

Good story 8JT8TER
Sounds like a Jim Croce song!

Smokyboy Nov 23rd, 2004 09:38 AM

I always wondered about that one. I had a tag I thought was simple but people would ask. 14GOLF

Years ago I had a old MITSUBISHI pickup. On the tailgate the MITSUBISHI was on with black plastic tape. I took the tape off TS and IS. Had a lot of people ask me about that one. Cops too.

They never taught this in sex ed but I would bet you should put your lips on the body cavity of the bird.

Smokyboy Nov 23rd, 2004 10:35 AM

Years ago I remember my grandfather and a neighbor? had a smokehouse. Looked like a outhouse doublewide, all black and sooty, smelled kinda appealing, used a lot of wood (hickory?), and took a couple of days. I heard it was good, but for some reason I couldn't eat it.

Sippy Nov 23rd, 2004 10:56 AM

smoke with sassafrass, the only way, guys! delish.

Budman Nov 23rd, 2004 11:00 AM

I normally use hickory and mesquite. Will sassafrass make my turkey taste like root beer? ((a)) ((b))

GoTravel Nov 23rd, 2004 11:44 AM

jor, only if you use a condom.

8JT8TER, I didn't get that one about the Mitsibushi. Splain Lucy, splain.

8JT8TER Nov 23rd, 2004 11:52 AM

It was a delicate process taking that factory tape off my MITSUBISHI truck, but I was one, young, determined individual. I had to make a statement. It read: M I__U B__H I

GoTravel Nov 23rd, 2004 12:11 PM

Okay, dense me, I'm still not getting this one.

My-ubee-high?

Scarlett Nov 23rd, 2004 12:15 PM

My, you be high. :D

I quit smoking when I was 20. RE: the smoked Turkey :D

GoTravel Nov 23rd, 2004 12:23 PM

Thanks MizScarlett! I feel stoopid.

SenecaGirl Nov 23rd, 2004 12:25 PM

Hee-hee!!! Thanks for the laugh, and thanks to Scarlett for explaining...I did not get that one (a bit dense here too...)

Who wants to start the thread for best license plates...my friend has SXCBEAST on her beat up truck....

8JT8TER Nov 23rd, 2004 12:30 PM

I quit smoking cigarettes at 30. I'm still smoking turkeys and...

When I was in college I had this school bus yellow Toyota Tercel. My dad kept wanting to get a vanity license plate for it that spelled "YEILD".

ha. ha.

It would have taken me years of therapy to get over that.

jetset1 Nov 23rd, 2004 12:45 PM

easy.. don't elect him President!!

8JT8TER Nov 23rd, 2004 01:09 PM

Once knew this gal that lived in my apartment complex. Drove a red, compact Ford. Kept hearing rumors (and noises) about her nocturnal activities. Had a bumper sticker that read:
Every girl needs a little Escort.

Saw this license plate on a van with lots of kids in it: PB4WEGO

placeu2 Dec 1st, 2004 08:18 AM

I have to admit that my screen name is my license plate.

I really like Don's contribution.

NotMe Dec 1st, 2004 03:34 PM

My favorite license plate was on a Porsche Boxster being driven by an obviously divorced woman. It simply said WAS HIS

Loisde Dec 1st, 2004 03:58 PM

A couple of years ago, I saw a bumper sticker on a cadillac convertible occupied by two guys who I swear reminded me of the Steve Martin/Dan Akroyd characters on Saturday night live (we were sitting at a traffic signal).

The license plate for this wild and crazy pair was: BRABNDIT. (Bra bandit)

I didn't know whether to gag or laugh.
