As always, I like the Muppets best. :-)
Looks like their turkey is enjoying things too though, that's a little warped... I love Jim Henson.

Seems to me that, many years ago and during a time of recession, I saw one by National Lampoon depicting Grandpa and Grandma serving up a a skinned and roasted Rover, complete with a baseball in his mouth. Anyone know were to find that one?
