maybe it's weird that the dog licking thing doesn't bother me. I mean I don't know, what are you supposed to do when it's already christmas and the stores are closed so you can't just buy another turkey? turkeys are expensive too. Just a small lick on the butt pre cooking ... It wouldn't bother me to eat something a dog licked I guess. But clearly by the horror in the thread that is strange lol
I can't imagine my dog getting a lick in though and not chomping right down, the other day I dropped a paper napkin I'd just wiped williams yogurt covered face with, it was one second and she swallowed the entire napkin. It must have had some good yogurty flavor
I'm being goofy, but still...the "ladeedah" attitude about her guests bugs me to no end.
But really...how is it harmful in anyway?
Should she have thrown the entire turkey away?
I suppose saying something beforehand to the guests would have been nice, but I bet the turkey may not have been eaten. Which would have wasted the turkey too (besides throwing it away). I'm with Lucy Honeychurch --there's a reason why some of us don't eat food from other people's home. KWIM?

One thing I keep thinking, is how much faith everyone puts into the jury system - yet how few people who would actually make good jurors actually want to serve on jury duty. People are always trying to get out of it, bitch and moan about it, it's never convenient, yada yada yada. Then we wonder why the jury didn't do well.
I served on a jury once. That experience alone will keep even the most deranged individual on the straight and narrow. Two of the dumbest people I've ever encountered almost blew the entire thing. The thought of people like that deciding my fate is terrifying. Interestingly enough, two of the men had some colorful criminal histories, but they were easily the most thoughtful and insightful jurors in the room - even as we decided to convict. I really liked them and hope they're still doing well.
They probably took it seriously because they had been on the other side of it and got it, if that makes sense.
How clean do you people think a dead turkey carcass is? If the licking was pre-cooking, I can't imagine the dog germs were any grosser than whatever bacteria was already hanging out on the turkey skin.
I had my salad tossed on a first date. Well, technically after the official date. I wasn't bent over a restaraunt table or anything. That dude was freak of the millennium. Honestly, it was a bit much. I kept wondering if he'd been hankering after my bungmeat the entire evening. Seems like something you should tell someone. Or at least hint at.
Let's file this one under rants, because I really didn't appreciate it.
We went to a party on Saturday at a friend's house. The last time we were there was almost 10 years ago, when he had just gotten married. They bought a set of beige fabric dining chairs and left the plastic covers on the seats to protect them. The plastic is still on 10 years later. I was all wtf about it.

I don't know. My dog regularly licks his own butt.
That said, if it really was only a small part, I would have just cut the skin that had been licked off before cooking and carried on with my day.

I had to go to Urban Dictionary to find out what this really meant. I probably should have put the clues together based on context.

1 -- if this is super breezy to someone, I don't necessarily want to know what else they're breezy about;Â 2 -- the turkey was brining, but presumably also out in a room-temp room somewhere the dog could get at it, which makes me a little queasy too;Â 3 -- the whole idea is gross to me.Â
ETA: Â I will say I'm kind of strict about food and stuff, though; I get grossed out easily, and almost never would eat anything in "would you eat this" threads.
The only reason why I was breezy was because it was a 28lb bird and it was hours before guests showed up. The bird was out within the dog's reach because we were about to rinse it and cook it--It wasn't just sitting out at room temp all day. We were looking for the roasting pan when the dog went after it.

During my jury service it became quite apparent to me just how much critical thinking is not everyone's strong suit. When you consider that, alarming doesn't even begin to cover it.

I haven't seen it and I haven't read the thread because I want to watch but I don't think it's just the jury. I studied so many wrongful conviction cases in grad school, it's frightening. One case, the state appointed attorney fell asleep during the trial and they appealed on the basis of an incompetent attorney, the appeal was denied because he wasn't *that* incompetent. Coerced confessions, evidence that's ignored or even hidden sometimes because it doesn't fit what the detective has decided happened.
Not to mention increased likelihood of conviction and death penalty if you're African American.
I am only kind of okay with eating something my dog licked, especially if she just spent 20 minutes in Poontown, with her doggie herpes. I've accidentally taken drinks from a glass that my dog licked, and I had panic. I just don't think it's polite to get Beethoven slobber on community food and serve it all LOLZ. I can see washing it in very hot water? Hell. It's a choice I hope that I never have to make.
If the dog had licked the already cooked turkey and then they served it, specifically cutting off the licked portion and serving it to Grandma? Barf city. But taking a licked, uncooked turkey, rinsing it, then cooking it and then NOT EVEN SERVING THE PART THAT GOT LICKED? Meh.

Oh I know it's not just the jury - that spark in my brain just came after reading another post about "zomg, I can't believe the jury convicted on this!!"
The whole system is messed up. People put way too much faith in "the process worked." - I'm looking at you Jeb!

I fucking love jury duty. I was called just 2 months ago and was so disappointed that had too many people show up and didn't need me, which means my duty was "served" for 2 years.
Serving licked food and remaining silent about it to your guests is WUDE! And being breery about it in a confessions thread is not very nice either. Germs or no germs.
