As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

They can, but they don't gain altitude so good. I had one fly across the road at top-of-windshield level. Since I figured it would just clear or just glance off, I did nothing to avoid it.

Unfortunately, I had a roof rack on. Fortunately, I was able to find replacement parts for the rack on eBay.

The turkey didn't appear to be harmed. After tumbling ass over teakettle to the ground, it walked into the field on the side of the road looking for all the world like a cat that wanted you to forget you'd just seen it do something beneath its dignity.

I always wondered if there was a relationship between this and the Oregon exploding whale in 1970 ? https://www.google.com/search?q=whale+explosion+oregon

I think I'm getting this show mixed up with another. I thought that Phil Hartman was in it but looking at the wiki page he's not listed... ah, Phil Hartman was in News Radio. WKRP was almost 20 years earlier. Everyone that watched it is probably dead or in a nursing home.

I watched it. I am not dead, in a nursing home, nor retired.

I watched and (apprently!) still know the entire theme song, which is wild because they stopped making new episodes when I was a toddler. Must have been in reruns; I wonder if it was that after school / pre-dinner time slice when we watched Happy Days and 321 Contact?

Thanks for the chuckle. But a lot of us are hanging on for dear life, and still living independently.

One of the actors of the show recorded promos for the station, so guess not.

The fact that someone posted a link to the article that you probably didn’t read also refutes this premise.
