Show Description

It's the day before Thanksgiving and Shep starts off by talking about popcorn stuffing. "It's not only good, but you'll know when the turkey is done." A society can be determined by the gifts it gives one another. As a public service Shep spends the show reading Christmas gift suggestions from various mail order catalogs he has received: Electric earwax cleaner, Pipes in the shape of a privy, Transistor radio that looks like an orange, Plastic apple pen holder, Plastic orchid making kit, Plastic bird clothes pins, 40 inch high daisy bird bath, and lots more. 'Have you actually ever seen anyone use an electric carving knife? I knew someone who took off the knife and put a hack saw blade into it.'

Per Lowell Thelin - I checked my notes for the 11-22-72 show. "Turtle on the Runway" was one of the shows I got from Larry Krewer here in Clfton, and it also had the Lester Smith news following the show which gave me some clues. Regarding this, the New York Times stated "... there will be a break in talks Nov. 22 so Kissinger can fly to Brussels to see Indonesian President Suharto." Lester Smith said on WOR, "He (Kissinger) is in Brussels, Belgium tonight talking with Indonesia President Suharto on supervising a cease fire... Earlier today, Dr. Kissinger and North Vietnam top government man LeDocTow (sp?) again discussed peace terms, this time for four hours. ...the talks took place outside Paris. Talks resume tomorrow. {Implies that talks were held up during Nov. 22nd when Kissinger made his short flight from Paris to Brussels, but that Kissinger was returning back to Paris for the 23rd and that talks would continue then} My conclusion from this is that "Turtle on the Runway has to be 11-22-72. Also see notes from 11/20/72 show.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
