Ruth Bourdain’s Flat Thanksgiving Jokes Are All Turkeys

Comfort us with silence.
Comfort us with silence.

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and thus everyone’s favorite Twitter mashup of 2010 is at it again. Ruth Bourdain unleashed a flurry of Turkey Day-related tweets today, and we’d have to concur with Anthony Bourdain who said six months ago that RuBo had “lost gas.” Jokes like “Moistness should be your goal when cooking the turkey, but if it’s too moist, consider calling a gynecologist,” and “If you are buying a local, organic, heritage turkey, make sure it has a beard, tattoos, and is wearing skinny jeans,” never would have made it out of the Onion writers’ room, that’s for sure. RuBo then finished up her morning’s work with a brief moment of shilling her new book, Comfort Me With Offal. Because, you know, with humor like this we could sure use more! Thankfully the burning question of “who is Ruth Bourdain?” isn’t burning so bad anymore, and it would seem most of us have given up caring. (Last we heard it was two people, but they’ve remained mum.) [RuthBourdain/Twitter]
