Turducken

And now for an inside view of the editorial page.

Today, we've been debating the usage of the word 'turducken' in an upcoming editorial. Only one member of the board, the one who wrote the editorial, knows what it means to "shoot the duck, pluck the feathers and shove it inside John Madden’s holiday turducken." The Madden and turducken references have been cut from the editorial for fear that readers would not know what the hell we were talking about.

Yes, this sort of minutia can generate some lively debate.

The question for you, blog readers, is: Do you know what a turducken is? Post your responses below.

TURDUCKEN is a baked turkey-duck-chicken combination.
