Strangest Psychosis Ever.
Jun. 2nd, 2006 03:54 pmSo, I drove to Jackson (again) today for the monthly lab meeting. On the way down there this morning, I saw a large bird standing at the edge of the woods off I-55. I glanced over. "...Wild turkey. Cool!"
I drove on.
Fast-forward to 3:45. I was back in my own car, driving home from work, and about five hundred yards from home.
I saw a large bird standing at the edge of the woods.
"...Wild turkey. Uh."
Now, I haven't seen a single turkey (a lot of deer, but no turkeys) since moving here in January. Come to think of it, I hadn't seen a living wild turkey in years... up until Tuesday, when I met a professor at Ole Miss who's using them in his behavioral research, and opened his lab to show me a pen of them.
That's a lot of turkeys in one week.
My theories run thusly:
There's also the vague possibility that the turkeys have HAD IT with KFC and Butterball, and on behalf of all Galliformes, they're staging a revolution that will soon turn into a bloodbath for mankind.
I'm really not sure which option I prefer, at this point.
Just... somebody stop me, if I start to gobble.

My theories run thusly:
- I have, unbeknownst to me, become a Turkey Whisperer.
- The turkeys are stalking me.
- I have developed a rare mental illness that causes me to hallucinate turkeys.
