ACCORDING TO http://nzbirds.com/birds/turkey.html, TURKEYS EXHIBIT “REAL INTELLEGENCE” WHEN THEY “BAND TOGEETHER IN PAIRS” AND “BRAVELY FLY UP TO ATTACK” THEIR PREDATORS. ALEX’S DABATING STYLE IS LIKE THE FIGHTING STYLE OF A TURKEY. IN THE COMPETITION HE DISPLAYED HIS INTELLEGENCE WHEN HE TEAMED UP WITH HIS DEBATE PARTNER AND FLEW INTO ACTION WITH HIS WITTY RESPONSES, DEFEATING THE RIVAL COMPETITORS. JUST LIKE A TURKEY! GOOD JOB!
CONGRATS ON THE VICTORY ALEX!!! NOW LET'S SEE... HOW CAN I COMPARE ALEX TO A TURKEY. WELL, A TURKEY IS A MALE, AND SO IS ALEX (FEMALES ARE CALLED HENS, IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING). YOU GENERALLY EAT TURKEY IN NOVEMBER AND ALEX WON HIS METAL IN NOVEMBER... OK, OBVIOUSLY I AM EXTREMELY BAD AT ANALOGIES!!! THE PREVIOUS 3 BLOGGERS ARE MUCH BETTER. OH WELL, CONGRATS AGAIN ON THE BIG WIN ALEX. HANG THE METAL FROM YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR OR SOMETHING. :)

You guys are really good at this, I say we take our act on the road..."Alex and The Turkeys" a traveling debate and argumentation troup...I can see it now, the fame the fortune, the hot babes...but life on the road would be so lonely, so darn lonely...eventually the debate group would break up and we would all sell each other out in a startling expose in People Magazine about the tawdry touring life and pressures of life in the debate the spotlight...eventually we'd reunite in a pathetic syndicated reality tv show called "Whose The Turkey Now?"
sandra you are soooooooooo crazy, where do you come up with this stuff. any ways alex is like a turkey because a turkey is a highly regarded part of the thanksgiving dinner tradition, with out it the meal does not work. not to mention we would not get to make those great turkey sanwhiches with all those sides put in it, which leads me to my point. the sides in the thanksgiving meal compliment the turkey and even though they are there, for most people it is all about the turkey. for us we were all about alex (the turkey) and not so much his parnter (the sides) and in the end we were right because alex did most of the work in his debate. the turkey a highly regarded food and alex a highly regarded person.
IN AN ARTICLE WRITTEN IN THE NY TIMES, NOV 20, 2005 IT STATES, “WITH THANKSGIVING LOOMING, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS KINDLY PULLED TOGETHER SOME STATISTICS. IT ESTIMATES THAT 256 MILLION TURKEYS WILL HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THE UNITED STATES IN 2005 – NEARLY ONE FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN AN WON’T-TOUCH-ANYTHING-BUT-PASTA CHILD.” HOW DOES THIS CONNECT WITH ALEX? I HAVE NO CLUE! BUT IT DOES MAKE ME SOUND SMART HUH? ACTUALLY WE CAN SAY SINCE ALEX DID WIN THIS COMPETITION HE IS NOW POPULAR…LIKE THE TURKEY AT THANKSGIVING. NOW WHENEVER I THINK OF THANKSGIVING TURKEY…I WILL THINK OF ALEX!
When I was little, I actually was near a turkey and it started chasing me around and being mean to me, so now im kind of intimidated by them....you can relate that to alex because when he's debating, he can be very intimidating. He's a different person when he's debating. it kind of feels like he's coming after you, just like that turkey did to me!
Sup all? Well I just wanted to update everyone about the events last Friday at the debate tournament. The first round my partner from Sac City and I took down our competition. As the government side our topic was, THB: “The war on terror is beneficial to society.” This was an easy topic to argue since my partner was in the Marine Corps and was very passionate about the topic. Plus we argued it as a value topic.
For the second round…we had a bye! So, my partner Brandon and I were confident we would be in the finals. Unfortunately, we were not placed in the finals. We found out that because they had uneven pairs of groups that one group had to sit out. So in the final round, there was one group of three people versus a group of two. Overall, we only had one opportunity to debate ALL DAY. If we just would have had another chance to debate we would have been in the finals easily! Oh well…it was still a great experience and I would do it again anytime. Bring it! See ya’ll at Target on Tuesday. Later, CHRiS~

Obviously others are intimidated by our skills, my fellow classmates...Chris, you bravely went forth into the hostile debating climate and dominated. In the immortal words of EmiNem (2002) "We mock what we do not understand." Well done, soldier!
Well about this, I never had a live turkey, just a dead one, but I don't eat turkey also. I just think their like another thing that I can't eat because of how it is.
