And he’s making me uncomfortable.
Pictured [here](http://www.normanrockwellvt.com/NewsletterIssues/FreedomfromWant.htm)…he’s the guy in the lower right-hand corner.
What do you suppose he’s got on his mind?

It’s skeevy cousin Charlie up by the turkey with the serial killer grin that I’m worried about.

I would say something about great minds thinking alike, but this is one that neither of us should brag about.

I could be mistaken, but that dude looks like it might be [Rockwell himself](http://www.arton5th.com/rockwell/triple-self-portrait.jpg), which adds to the creepiness, if you’re so inclined.

I love Norman Rockwell paintings, darn you America, that’s what you’re supposed to be like(well with a few more non-white people mixed in too)! 🙂

This is a lot better than the trenches in France. All we had back then was rats.
In door county we stopped at a gift shop up stairs was a Norman Rockwell museum. The lady that was there wouldn’t let us leave, because she wanted us to see her in one of the portraits in the half hour film. It was like we were kicking a puppy, when we first told her we didn’t want to watch the show. We did watch the show.

ETA: Sorry, I missed the word “your” in your post. Ah well, it’s a painting that deserves an outing here anyway.

Sauteed in mud and garnished with shrapnel
We also had dandruff as ersatz sugar and phlegm as cream, sometimes the mud doubled as coffee

That turkey looks too heavy for granny to be hefting so casually.
But what bugs me is the three sticks of Swiss Chard - for 11 people not counting the viewer.

That’s not Swiss chard – that’s celery, as a relish (as opposed to appetizer).

_Everybody_ in this painting makes me uncomfortable. Especially the turkey. _backs slowly away from monitor_
