Binning the turkey: a twitter tale of Christmas panic

Duncan Weldon, former economics correspondent for BBC Newsnight, is fond of twitter. Twitter is also fond of him, because he is excellent.

And because once, he threw a turkey in a bin.

Weldon fell first to morosity:

Then to defiance:

Then to amusement:

He became laconic:

Weldon’s twitter wife and former Newsnight colleague, Chris Cook, had a field day. As, in fact, did his entire extended family.

Weldon defended himself:

Cook unburdened his own culinary problems-

-with which Weldon was disinclined to sympathise.

Then Jess Brammar, Weldon’s other twitter wife, woke up:

And the cycle began again.

But Jess had the solution:

Chris then decided to make ‘binning the turkey’ a Thing™:

Jess took umbrage

And also coolly reminded them that only monumental idiots bin turkeys:

There was some debate over whether ‘Weldon’ and ‘binning the turkey’ ought to be synonymous:

But Cook persisted:

Two days later, Weldon was beginning to recover, but Cook was merciless.

And so finally, Weldon joined in the game:

Cook’s efforts must’ve been worth something, because the episode was still being referenced by Conor Pope months later.

And it ended up being the most memorable moment of Marie Le Conte’s Christmas: 

And in the end, the virtuous prospered, the wicked miscarried, the binning of the turkey was compared favourably to Weldon’s other great moments-

- “And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless us, every one.”

Fin.

All right. You wanna know what’s insane? 

It’s that I have 55 followers on Twitter and the fact that three of them are verified actors: one from Buffy, and two from The Walking Dead.

Like, why?
