Happy Thanksgiving!
Here we are living the 11th chapter of the 2024 year. We just said goodbye to the spooky season and probably the leaf season. We honored military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. We are gearing up for a very palatable Thanksgiving of mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, dressing, and turkey. Yum!
Before I retell how the dope November Todd of the Month came to be, I want to remind everyone that Todds of the Month works like Employees of the Month. The Todds chosen each month were not selected for doing anything extraordinary but merely because they were named Todd.
Once upon a short time ago, I (the first Todd of the Month and the Todd behind Stormstrouper.com) was watching classic Bugs Bunny cartoons on my 80-inch TV.
An episode with Fudd started. Fudd was tip-toeing through the forest, put his finger on his lips, and shushed me. Next, he told me to “Be very, very quiet. I’m hunting turkey.”

“You’re not going to tell me what to do, Elmer Fudd,” I shouted from my La Z Boy beige rocker recliner.
Fudd must’ve disliked my shouting because he rudely told me to be quiet again, which I didn’t take very gingerly.

Then a toon turkey entered the forest that was trotting into Fudd’s scope.
I jumped from my recliner like a mad bull. “I’ll show you, Fudd.” Then I jumped into the damn cartoon.
That’s right. I jumped into the damn cartoon. I grabbed the turkey. I called Fudd something worse than a jerk and jumped out of the cartoon and back into my den.
I took joy in seeing Fudd holding up a fist of anger toward me on my 80-inch TV. He was shaking with so much hate toward me that veins were popping out of his bald toon forehead.
“Hey, Fudd! What is the key to a great Thanksgiving dinner? The tur-key.”
I fell into my La Z Boy recliner with a huge, satisfied grin on my face, the turkey I had just saved in my lap.
“I’ll call you Turkey Todd, and I will make you the November Todd of the Month,” I said to the turkey.
And that’s how I saved a turkey from becoming the main dish at Fudd’s family Thanksgiving dinner.
Come back in December when we name the last Todd of the Month this year and all the honorable Todds who would’ve been Todds of the Month if we didn’t run out of Months.
