Here's an idea I got in the Lowe's of all places, looking for stuff and seeing the deep fryers for turkeys that are so readily available.

Make your guess for the town and state where the requisite garage fire will occur on Thanksgiving as somebody tries to fry a turkey.

Your prize is the honorary Arthur Carlson/Les Nessman Flying Turkey Award.

Ties or multiple occurances all win, as there were several turkeys pitched from the helicopter over the Pinedale Shopping Mall in Cincinnati in the late '70's.

Have at it.

Yeah, but they tend to grill vs. fry. You're probably right, but the turkey friers in your local big-box store are probably pretty ubiquitous.

I'm going out on a limb for North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Hate to change the subject, but turkeys prepared in fryers are delish.

Yes, they are excellent. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside...

What a trade-off.

i love em with cajun injection.
 
Why don't we up the ante and bet on where the first death by immolation due to turkey fryer will occur?

Remember, property is replaceable, but who can put a price on a human life?

Naw, because death makes this non-funny.
 
Nothing says Have a Happy Thanksgiving like human flesh boiling in oil. It's one of those holiday smells in the air you never forget...

My money says Anyplace, Alabama!
 
OK, it seems we've got a good trend going here.

Riverside, IA is a good guess, as it's the future birthplace of James T. Kirk.
 
Boise, ID

They are due again, last year was the only year in the last five that didn't have one. The odds are in my favor.
 
Huston or Austin Texas..

And Tulsa Oklahoma...

Maybe somewhere in Mississippi too.
 
Shamelessly bumping this periodically until T-Day. Although probably less after today.
