Cold Turkey Leftovers

I was listening to John Lennon's song "Cold Turkey" today: "Cold turkey has got me on the run..."

Today of course is the day for cold turkey, the day after Thanksgiving. But I didn't have any, maybe for the first time ever. Some of the family was over, and I had the foresight to send all the leftovers home with them, thinking how much I hate them, the leftovers, not the family.

It'd be better than nothing if I didn't have any other food. But there's something about turkey that makes it ultra dry as soon as it's been cooked. It's very disgusting stuff.

But I've got a few leftovers today, bits and pieces, snippets of ideas, and stray ideas that I want to get rid of:
-----------------------------
I'm looking for a diner with the lady in white or pink serving hot roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy and happy to see you. I think it's a dying breed, like __________ (whatever).
-----------------------------
Church of the Embittered Shepherd -- "Some wolf bastard stole my sheep!" -- "The end of your search for an embittered church."
-----------------------------
Concrete Football League -- All games played on cement fields for real bone-crunching action. 8 hour games because of constant injuries.
-----------------------------
Doodletron illustrations. Colorful backgrounds with doodles overlaid.
-----------------------------
Overheard on 11/14/2010, a guy on the phone: "Oh man, I just did the front page like an hour ago." Must have been some big news!
-----------------------------
Driving on college campus: Didn't see anyone carrying or waving pennants. Saw lots of gadgets, and a few Gidgets on phones.
-----------------------------
What color was the wood? Wood-colored.
-----------------------------
The worst part about going blind, not being able to see.
-----------------------------
Turkeys these days are nothing like the ones I had when I was a kid. Back then, each of the kids got a wishbone from the old bird, so they were happy.
-----------------------------
Have I ever seen a cute ear? No. Nicely proportioned? Yes, most often known by not being too big.
-----------------------------
The process of dying is tough, but it looks like you get used to death right away.
-----------------------------
Facial hair grows overnight, meaning Santa sleeps a lot!
-----------------------------
Man speaks with forked tongue spooning with daughter, must get knife.
-----------------------------
The heart, of course, is susceptible to heartburn.
