MYSTERY MEAT MIX 4: FOWL PLAY.

Posted on November 21, 2025 1 Comment

After last year’s “incident” that we’re not allowed to talk about, especially around the elderly family members who get really bent out of shape when it’s mentioned, Uncle T was banished from all family gatherings. I can’t get into specifics on exactly what happened but let’s just say the joyful family gettogether around the dinner […]

It probably goes without explaining why the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts is a hotbed of historical activity.

Family members gasp and shriek in horror when they see what just landed on the otherwise very pleasant Thanksgiving holiday spread. Kids at the kid’s table run away crying. In-laws […]

Here at the TNUC Lair, we wouldn’t dare treat the Thanksgiving season as just a lull between the two big holidays. I suppose pretty good evidence of that can be found on not one, not two, not three — but four “Mystery Meat” mixtapes released over the past few years — the only Thanksgiving/holiday-feast themed […]
