Friday Fling #156 November 25th 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

When I was a teenager a favorite expression to describe someone getting very excited about something – or getting angry or going nuts over it – was “Go Turk.” So a friend gets excited and usually later you’d describe him or her as having “gone Turk.” Actually I never knew whether it was intended to reflect a turkey panicking and making noise or something having to do with an attack by a Turkish soldier back in Ottoman Empire days. LOL<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This is Thanksgivingtime in the US. Thanksgiving is also known informally as Turkey Day. So we thought, why not use that old expression as a theme for our Thanksgiving Fling. <\/font>What makes you “go Turk”\u00a0 on Thanksgiving?\u00a0 What gets you most excited by it, and\/or what do you enjoy most about it?\u00a0 Or what about it most likely would make you angry?<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Since Friday is Black Friday, the first shopping day of the Christmas season, we’ll also include that in possible topics. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

To reflect the many varieties of Thanksgiving celebration, we saved our one-a-month no recommended format Fling for this one! <\/font>Writer’s format choice, or freeform!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates what makes us “go Turk” on Thanksgiving!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment thankfully on your fellow Pals’ Turkology. Then “go Turk” this weekend! In a good way!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for\u00a0 November 18th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations Angel Love!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
