- There exists a stuffed version of this familiar.
References
- A hand turkey is a drawing of a turkey made by tracing a hand, typically using the thumb to represent the turkey's head, and the fingers for feathers. It is common for American children 5-6 years old to draw these in school, usually around Thanksgiving.
- "Gobble Gobble Hey", from the first line in the description haiku, is a poultry-flavored rewording of the chorus from the Ramones song "Pinhead", which goes "Gabba Gabba Hey!" This may also be a reference to the 1933 movie, "Freaks", and the line "Gabba, gabba hey" features prominently at the climax of the movie.
- Doing "The Funky Turkey" around the maypole is a play on the Funky Chicken, a novelty dance from 1969.
- The reference to hunt and peck in the haiku description refers to the method of untrained typing where typists struggle to find each key (hunt) and then hit it with only one of their two index fingers (peck).
