Did you have to make a gobble noise to win? We did a promotion where listeners called in and did their impression of a turkey gobble. Then we took a tape of the listener gobbles to a turkey farm in Framingham and played it. If a real turkey reacted to your gobble you'd win. I have to say that I felt ridiculous standing there in the rain holding a cassette player and trying to get a reaction from a turkey. I'm sorry, Ma'am, the turkey blinked but didn't make any noise when we played your gobble - so you don't win. But try again next year!
