If she skins and cooks that bird she’s a goddess!
Honestly, this pic is worse than Grandpa in the underwear a while back. It leaves me speechless!
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.
Um, no it hasn’t.
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.
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.
Oh yes! This is so much Central PA!! Huntin’ turkey, drinkin’ beer, makin’ my woman pregnant … not necessarily in that order! LOL In fact, these two remind me so much of a couple I know I’m going to send her the link. She can definitely relate!
Isn’t that in Argentina?
Why yes, the Appalachian Trail DOES pass through Argentina.
(great reference
)
AND…this is not a PhotoShop discussion board. Please, go share your PhotoShop expertise someplace else.
Uhh Annette, is that an attempt at humour?
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…)
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!
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’?
Ahahahaha!
even if her face is photo shopped the belly isnt and that’s the funny part
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
The turkey is giving them the side-eye and saying, “Call my agent. I didn’t sign up for this s***.”
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*
I don’t see any blood, bare feet, or toilet paper…
Um, I see some bare feet (the sandals aren’t covering that much). I also see what looks like TP. AND an “assumption” is being made that that turkey didn’t die of old age, hence the comment (bleeding?). *scrubbing my hands furiously*
Didn’t die of old age…this killed me.
My thoughts exactly!
That there, friends, is whatchu call the circle of life.
Lol! ‘Nuff said:D
nearprairie — Excellent!
Um… is she sporting mens underpants?! He makes her hunt her own food in his underpants and flip flops?!
Maybe she just had a craving for some REALLY FRESH turkey
It took me a while to realise this was a turkey it looked like a gremlin reaching up towards the belly… creepy!
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.
Haha YES! Aunt Marney would just LOVE these people to show up to her beloved Thanksgiving dinner.
Lol!
LOL Excellent!
Oh that’s a WIN Sidekick!
P.S. Don’t forget to leave little spittoons for lead pellets. It’s really a nice dinner until you break a crown on a lead pellet.
Oh yes, most excellent call back; however, Marney would be pleased but concern that this couple may bring the bird in a non-standard blue casserole dish. We certainly wouldn’t want that to ruin her Thanksgiving!
I guess everyone has the right to have kids as long as they can feed them.
Why is this awkward? Doesn’t everyone have a photo like this?
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.
maybe in them there parts they just grab the turkey with their bare hands! dont need no hunter orange for that!
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!
ok but what is the symbolism of the cliff behind them?
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.
I can’t tell which accomplishment he’s more proud of.
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.
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.
voodoo, i love your name.
Your comment made me laugh so hard that I couldn’t breathe! Definitely the best post on this picture!
Is it just me or do they look like they’re related?
um, i thought the same thing… (i was going to post it, but i didnt think it would make it thru the officials. lol)
Here honey………lift your shirt so’s we can show everyone the size o’ this birds foot by compairing it to your bellybutton.
*Insert witty joke here about stuffing birds*
the soul of the turkey will be reborn as that baby.
HAHA! Hilarious! It will be born breech and be a vegan.
I think the bird felt a kick…
Seems as if there is alot of “foul” play going on in them there woods!
shouldn’t you spell it “fowl” for the pun to make sense?
Way to call Jen out JoeJoe!! Love it!!!
She’s so close to being barefoot, it’s painful. That would really make this photo perfect. But no cigar…
Whaddya think, baby or beer belly?
my thoughts exactly….she could just be chubby…and hubby likes it!
Nah – that’s no beer belly – thatsa baby belly. Dad looks just way too proud for it to be from beer alone.
Beer bellies are not firm and taut against the skin. Take a glance at the belly button. Looks like it’s going to pop out!
I gots a turkey in ma hand and a bun in the oven, Lordy I’m set…
Stuffed and Mounted
HA!
Hehe, stuffed and mounted! He’s a man’s man in Appalchia, USA! Rock on!
WIN!!
Love the toilet paper flower to the left. Makes the picture.
HAHAA!
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.
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!
Now THAT’S what I call a butterball!
You can’t pick this up at Publix.
So…that’s what happens when you go turkey hunting. I knew I wasn’t doing something right!
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.
When did they start using turkeys instead of rabbits for the pregnancy tests?
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?
More so, who is agreeing to take the photos like this?
There’s a joke to made about “stuffing,” but it escapes me at the moment.
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…
Hey man, both those chicks with you?
Now THAT’S funny!
Yep. Bagged them both myself….
ooh, she’s got TWO turkeys! lol
Looks like he’s getting ready to tickle her belly with the turkey’s claw. Fun times!
This one will be a good one for the baby book.
I love the fact that they are each holding one leg of the turkey…now that is romance right thar!
Hakuna matata.
Saturday Night Special never fails to deliver (sorry, couldn’t help myself).
They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush !
Sweet Irony…the bird was probably days away from laying eggs.
Now that is one for the baby book!
I live South of Pittsburgh and this is most def sumthin’ u’d see around here!!!!!
This is all kinds of wrong.
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…
Not pictured – the shotgun used to hunt the turkey and to convince the young man to marry her.
