To Turkey Trot or Not

This is a recent conversation I had with one of my clients when we were both at a stressful point in our day. We both joke around with each other to cut the tension every now and again. Tuesday in particular we needed some relief and a great convo emerged.

4:27 PM me: hey did u ever figure out who owns the isptnnet task u pinged me about
i just remembered i hadn't responded onthat
Client: I'm pretty sure it's Callahan
I had a note from Jen from awhile ago that said him
4:28 PM me: ahh...good ole massey
i think we'll keep sending her a paycheck
Client: Or Nourallahi
Lol
4:30 PM me: yeah...we decided for her that it was too hard to spell so she is always going to be referred to as massey
Client: I still have lots of people that call me Pandiscio
4:31 PM And the new name is actually much easier
4:33 PM me: huh...well if i ever get married i better keep the J.Lo. nickname
it took years to get that to stick
and i'm not coming up with a new one
Client: I'm sure u will!
You make me laugh
me: it might be a deal breaker
4:34 PM Client: Idk, just keep L. as ur stage name
me: i should do standup on the side
ok...now here's a question for you
if you were asked to run for an hour
would you enjoy it more if
4:35 PM someone dressed up as a turkey and you got to chase them with a cap gun?
4:36 PM Client: Without question ;)
4:37 PM me: thank you
i tried to explain this to ppl at my bootcamp and they told me it wasn't PC
it's not like they're vegan
4:38 PM i mean really...if you eat turkey and u like to run this should be a great idea
hell even if you don't like to run it's a great idea
Client: U crack me up
Well I definitely don't "like" to run, but the turkey offer is tempting
4:39 PM me: yeah...u can even get in character
u could wear a little pilgrim hate
hat*
orrrr..if u want to try with the bow and arrow (rubber of course) u could put a feather in ur hair
4:40 PM Client: Really trying to be anti PC, aren't u
4:48 PM me: well..i think it is critical for ppl to understand the struggles our forefathers went through so we can be properly thankful this holiday season
Client: Lol
4:49 PM Very true, will u be having eel this holiday?
4:52 PM me: eel?
how can i incorporate that in with the turkey
a turdukeel?
4:53 PM Client: Yeah, that's what the forefathers had and you want to b traditional, right?
Lol
4:54 PM me: wow...they were revolutionaries
turdukeel it is
pray tell...how did they kill this eel for the fiest?
is there a good re-enactment that can occur?
4:55 PM cuz i'm thinking if i wear green workout gear i might look kind of slinky and slimy like an eel
so this could be an easier outfit
feast* not fiest
where is my brain?
4:56 PM Client: Lol, I thought eels were grey or something
4:57 PM me: gray is even better
do u think they have black eels?
cuz i am supposed to wear all black
but u know when patriotism calls i have to do my civic duty
4:58 PM Client: Well google reports thateels are a muckey brown
And that is my most trusted source for information
5:00 PM me: really...
5:01 PM this is the same source which provides this http://www.elvis-is-alive.com/
brown eels
doubting the credibility of brown eels
5:02 PM i'm still wondering how they killed this eel tho
5:03 PM if you say they threw rocks at it then perhaps we go for a less authentic reenactment
5:04 PM Client: Lol
5:05 PM I certainly don't want anyone throwing rocks at u
5:06 PM me: that's a good answer jen
you know how to get results
me+concussion=0 escalations
Client: Yeah, that would be very bad!
5:09 PM me: i think the lack of verification of kill method coupled with the unlikely color of brown is hampering the idea of an eel reenactment
therefore we must move forward with the only logical next course of action
a turkey
Client: It will be much more fun too ;)
5:10 PM me: i am glad we have come to this conclusion mutually
Client: B-)
me: now we can pursue our next matter
Client: Oh dear
:-o
me: for christmas should i dress up as rudolph and have the campers follow my blinking nose...
OR
5:11 PM should i dress up as santa and give them reindeer names and yell "on dancer, and prancer, and donder, and blitzen"
Client: Santa's little helper maybe?
me: hmm...i dunno
Client: Ohhhh, I like option 2
me: yeah me too
i get to yell at ppl that way
always fun
5:13 PM Client: I hope they appreciate ur creativity
me: i hope so too
cuz i was thinking of making the lady from india an indian (feather not dot)
haha
5:14 PM Client: Lol
5:18 PM me: ok...now i need to figure out how to do the tail
5:19 PM cuz that is of course what will be the signature turkey
Client: It would
me: and executive decision to leave OFF the turkey neck because that is not even flattering to the turkey
Client: I bet u could pull it off
5:24 PM me: i could probably pull off the turkey wings too but we are not going to go there
