		By the way, when I went into Celtic Note in Dublin looking for Dustin's c.d.'s the sales staff were talking amongst themselves trying to figure out if Dustin was under "D" for Dustin or "T" for turkey in a very non-chalant manner which I couldn't help but see the humour in.

		Wanting desperately to kill the turkey, he fires his gun, misses the turkey, then sees that the smoke is now searing through his shirt and singeing his two-day old beard.
		The Flaming Turkey tells about humorous hunting and wildlife incidents from running into wild boars, coyotes, bob cats, coons and a skunk that got his nose stuck in a mayonnaise jar under the camp house.
		As the turkey gobbled again, he jumped over into the stump hole, but in the mid air he glanced down to find a stump-tail moccasin about two and a half feet long.

		4 p.m- the utterance of "Dustin smells like shit",which Dustin covered quickly with "I'm not wearing a hat!"), so, they were moved to a close to midnight slot, in the programme, A Scare at Bedtime.
		This show took its name from a previous RTE show called A Prayer at Bedtime, which overlaid the text of a Roman Catholic prayer over serene images with choral music playing.
