    If she skins and cooks that bird she’s a goddess!

  2. sillygurl says:

    Honestly, this pic is worse than Grandpa in the underwear a while back. It leaves me speechless!

  3. Annette says:

    As much as I love this photo, it has Photo Shop written all over it…you can clearly see her face has been cut and paste from another photo.

    • Nawset says:

      Um, no it hasn’t.

    • Russ says:

      I wish people never taught idiots like you the word “photoshop”…..and clearly you’ve never used it as you’d actually know it’s one word, not two.

      Thanks for coming out.

      • hcw80 says:

        Oh for Pete’s sake it is not Photoshop it is life in or near the Appalachian Mountains. This is how people live. They hunt and eat what they hunt. Not everyone shops at Trader Joe’s. BTW, this is so a “free range” bird.

    • Lisa says:

      AND…this is not a PhotoShop discussion board. Please, go share your PhotoShop expertise someplace else.

    • Snappy says:

      Uhh Annette, is that an attempt at humour?

      • emm says:

        well, snappy, if it is an attempt at humour, then annette has got everybody’s number! kudos annette. (i actually think its funny to see how people react to that word! its like watching the three stooges’ ‘niagara falls’ schtick! slowly i turn…)

    • Michelle says:

      Of all the awkward things in this photo that I could justify the “this is too good to be true it most be photo shopped” her face isnt it. In fact, I think her face is one of the only non-awkward parts of the pic!

    • Boppie says:

      Some of us have an extra chin – that’s not a paste line, it’s just her face…or am I photo-shopped into every picture I take ‘for reals’?

    • elizabeth says:

      even if her face is photo shopped the belly isnt and that’s the funny part

    • emily says:

      The face isn’t the obvious photoshopped part. Look at the blurry white stuff where the head overlaps the guy’s shoe. Unless there’s a tiny cloud hovering down at foot level, it’s photoshopped, and BADLY. There’s also a halo where the head thingy overlaps her leg.

      • *stare* Those are feathers. And that “halo” is actually the sun beaming down, it’s illuminating the part of the turkey that would be hit by the light coming in from that angle. If those are the only two things that you can point out then why are you saying it’s a bad photoshop? Especially when it’s not. /facepalm

  4. The turkey is giving them the side-eye and saying, “Call my agent. I didn’t sign up for this s***.”

  5. anniebananie says:

    My inner germaphobe is screaming “oh icky icky!” from the dead (bleeding?) carcass to the bare feet to the TOILET PAPER on the ground! *reaching for the purell*

  6. nearprairie says:

    That there, friends, is whatchu call the circle of life.

  7. anniebananie says:

    Um… is she sporting mens underpants?! He makes her hunt her own food in his underpants and flip flops?!

  8. Lizzie says:

    It took me a while to realise this was a turkey it looked like a gremlin reaching up towards the belly… creepy!

  9. Sidekick says:

    Dear Aunt Marney,
    Since I am married now, I would like to contribute to this years Thanksgiving dinner on a more adult level. Instead of hors d’ouvres, I will be bringing the turkey. (see attached photo) I’m sure it will meet your standards because it will be fresh. See you on Thursday,
    Love, Lisa
    ps: I will need the use of your kitchen for a few hours for cleaning and preparing the bird.

  10. Denise says:

    I guess everyone has the right to have kids as long as they can feed them.

  11. Pinky says:

    Why is this awkward? Doesn’t everyone have a photo like this?

    • hcw80 says:

      No one is wearing hunter orange or camo as they should, that is what is making it awkward. At least to those of us raised in rural areas.

      • emm says:

        maybe in them there parts they just grab the turkey with their bare hands! dont need no hunter orange for that!

        • Darrin says:

          Dude! You’re right! Everyone from Appalachia is exactly the same and all condescending comments like that are well founded! People from that area certainly haven’t been fighting stereotypes and forsaking their homes, families, and traditions to attempt to escape those stereotypes!

          It’s awkward because it’s two completely unrelated photos thrown together, man is proud of his pregnant wife and man is proud of a turkey he shot, so we’ll smash them together!

  12. Cat says:

    ok but what is the symbolism of the cliff behind them?

    • C. says:

      It’s not a cliff, they’re at the edge of the yard. It looks very much like Appalachia where I grew up, and there just isn’t any flat land for houses, so people carve out a house-seat in the side of the mountain.

  13. Maya B says:

    I can’t tell which accomplishment he’s more proud of.

  14. KatieMB says:

    So, I think the real question is …. who’s the bigger turkey in this pic? I’ll give ya hint, it’s not the one hanging upside down.

  15. Voodoo Chile says:

    If I didn’t know better, I would say that this was taken on my land. Great, now I gotta haul out the old .30-.30 and make sure no pregnant women with their bellies bared are running around shooting turkeys on my property. When you factor in that I’ll have to weed this one out from those who are kinfolks, that kills the plans I had for this evening.

  16. Is it just me or do they look like they’re related?

  17. jenniep says:

    Here honey………lift your shirt so’s we can show everyone the size o’ this birds foot by compairing it to your bellybutton.

  18. Charley says:

    *Insert witty joke here about stuffing birds*

  19. superstar says:

    the soul of the turkey will be reborn as that baby.

  20. steve says:

    I think the bird felt a kick…

  21. Jen says:

    Seems as if there is alot of “foul” play going on in them there woods!

  22. Sammi says:

    She’s so close to being barefoot, it’s painful. That would really make this photo perfect. But no cigar…

  23. PissedChef says:

    Whaddya think, baby or beer belly?

  24. Carolyn says:

    I gots a turkey in ma hand and a bun in the oven, Lordy I’m set…

  25. dsto says:

    Stuffed and Mounted

  26. Dr Lump says:

    Love the toilet paper flower to the left. Makes the picture.

  27. Dave says:

    I refuse to believe that there are people ANYwhere in this country that would have a picture like that taken for anything other than a joke.

  28. Kimberly says:

    Nothing says Welcome to the World Baby better than killing a bird and posing with said dead carcass in hand… Love how they each got to hold a leg!

  29. Chazlette says:

    Now THAT’S what I call a butterball!

  30. Chazlette says:

    You can’t pick this up at Publix.

  31. grimey says:

    So…that’s what happens when you go turkey hunting. I knew I wasn’t doing something right!

  32. Cat says:

    As if this weren’t entertaining enough, the Ozarka advertisement running beneath reads, : “The water you love. Try home delivery.” Someone has a novel approach to marketing.

  33. db says:

    When did they start using turkeys instead of rabbits for the pregnancy tests?

  34. Snowrider says:

    OK, I’ve got a question for all you women out there. We’ve seen a bunch of pregnant belly photos here. Question: Whose idea is it for you to pose in these pictures, yours or your husband’s?

  35. Sean says:

    There’s a joke to made about “stuffing,” but it escapes me at the moment.

  36. SweetPetunia says:

    Oh please, do NOT say this is Central PA. I won’t own up to living here. ;-)

    Being in PA though, I can’t help but notice the trees in the background. They don’t fully lose their leaves like that untill November and by April I would think they would be starting to bloom again. This must have been a hot day in between that to be wearing flip-flops and shorts…

  37. J Harp says:

    Hey man, both those chicks with you?

  38. kristin says:

    ooh, she’s got TWO turkeys! lol

  39. rose says:

    Looks like he’s getting ready to tickle her belly with the turkey’s claw. Fun times!

  40. Josie says:

    This one will be a good one for the baby book.

  41. betheremnant says:

    I love the fact that they are each holding one leg of the turkey…now that is romance right thar!

  42. Poindexter says:

    Hakuna matata.

  43. catherine says:

    Saturday Night Special never fails to deliver (sorry, couldn’t help myself).

  44. Rrobert says:

    They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush !

  45. Steve says:

    Sweet Irony…the bird was probably days away from laying eggs.

  46. Heather says:

    Now that is one for the baby book!

  47. Julzee says:

    I live South of Pittsburgh and this is most def sumthin’ u’d see around here!!!!!

  48. Xtina says:

    This is all kinds of wrong.

  49. Adhe says:

    This has central PA written all over it. I lived in Harrisburg for a while and when I saw this the horrible memories came flooding back…cabbies in full camo…urinal cakes used as car air fresheners…

  50. DWPeterson says:

    Not pictured – the shotgun used to hunt the turkey and to convince the young man to marry her.
