Koohii Story 1 After our pre-Thanksgiving massacre, we piled high all the turkey corpses atop the soil of the farmyard.
Koohii Story 2 During the Turkey Holocaust (this is what the animal kingdom calls Thanksgiving - they have really short memories and thus don´t recall that it actually happens every single year), turkeys are killed en masse, and their bodies are piled high. To keep them from tumbling down, a pile of dirt is piled high right next to them to keep them standing upright so that they will be fresh when it is time to eat them.
