Kind of. Do a Google search for "Linux greased turkey". I believe it's a
joke on earlier (smooth as a) "greased weasel" releases - greased
turkeys aren't very smooth.

There has been a "basted turkey" release around a previous Thanksgiving,
but the last "greased turkey" release that I can find was in February
1996.
