And got France to back us up by having sex with so many French women. I think the Turkey would be better than a bird we have to ADR in the screech of another animal.
minus-squareWogi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·13 hours agoTurkeys: invasive, will absolutely move in and fuck up your shit Bald Eagle: almost went extinct because it ran out of a particular type of tree. Turkeys: will eat literally anything under the sun. Grass. Seeds. Other, smaller inferior turkeys. Car bumpers. Bald eagles: almost went extinct because salmon was in short supply. Turkeys: big, fat, aggressive birds with absolutely no fucks to give. The Always Sunny crew if they were all birds and not just D. Bald Eagles: sleek, reclusive, and quiet. Literally sounds like a mouse. It’s turkeys, it was always turkeys. It’s not even close.
