You see the oddest things when you browse through Goodwill on a sunny Manhattan Saturday. Like this for example...
Not only did I have no idea that anyone actually fried turkeys but you coulda knocked me over with a feather (a turkey feather I suppose) when I noticed that THIS turkey fryer comes with a remote control ignition that works from up to ten whole feet away!
I imagine it goes something like this:
You wake up in your trailer with a hankering for a whole fried turkey... but you don't want it just yet... maybe you want to watch some football or, perhaps, french kiss your cousin. So you loads up the automatic turkey fryer, go about your business and when you feel that fried turkey hunger a-comin' on - you reach into your overalls and set the gal-blammed thing to cookin' - without having to stop watching the game OR dismounting your kin.
Now that's science for the people!
You just described half the state of Oklahoma!!

when i lived in oklahoma city i had fried turkey for thankgiving. apparently the midwest folk like most meats deep and fried. it was delicious, although it took me over 3 months to digest and a year's worth of cardio to burn off.

Laugh all you want, McKinney. I once knew a man with a standard turkey fryer. While frying up his Thanksgiving bird one year, the thing exploded and melted off his entire head and neck. He spent the rest of his life with a face like a pack of Kraft Singles left on a heating vent. You and your friends can have your little laugh at the remote control fryer, but next time you fry up a turkey, remember: karma is a bitch.
