<description><![CDATA[ It's almost Thanksgiving (here in the US at least), and the traditional meal for this holiday is the humble turkey. So here are a few links about turkeys that might be informative or entertaining if this is your first time cooking a large bird. Have a fun (and safe) Thanksgiving, everybody!

<li> <a title="http://www.ibtimes.com/hilarious-thanksgiving-turkey-attack-video-goes-viral-videos-375066" href="http://bit.ly/QUokSw">Turkeys have been known to "attack" people when taunted.</a> Wild turkeys make lousy house pets.

<li> <a title="http://thestir.cafemom.com/food_party/146911/what_your_thanksgiving_turkeys_food" href="http://bit.ly/SaDf87">There are a lot of meaningless food labels for turkeys -- such as "all natural" or "minimally-processed."</a> But if it's labelled "fresh" that actually means the turkey has not been cooled below 26 degrees Fahrenheit and has not been fully frozen.

<description><![CDATA[ <p>With the holiday season upon us, we figured it was time to offer some special deals over at our <a href="http://rtb.techdirt.com/" target="_blank">Insider Shop</a> &mdash; just in case you've got someone on your list this year who would appreciate some Techdirt gear or a subscription package (or if you feel like giving yourself a gift this season).

<p>

</ul>
<p>This package will only be around for a limited time, and some sizes are already selling out, so if you want one, don't wait too long to order! We're also happy to announce a special deal on multiple t-shirts, for those who want a complete set or need a few to give out as gifts:</p>
<center><a href="http://rtb.techdirt.com/product-cat/tees/" target="_blank"><img src="http://rtb.techdirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/feature-tshirt-sale.png" width="560" title="Techdirt T-Shirt Sale" /></a></center>
<p>If you're ordering t-shirts, the bundle or any other gear as a gift, please order soon to ensure shipping in time for the holidays! We've spoken to our fulfillment partner and determined that orders placed by December 14th (in the US) and December 9th (internationally) should arrive on time with all shipping options, and depending on your location there may be express shipping available, too&mdash;but ordering early is always safer!</p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121120/10532121101/holiday-deals-techdirt-insider-shop.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121120/10532121101/holiday-deals-techdirt-insider-shop.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121120/10532121101/holiday-deals-techdirt-insider-shop.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
