I love animals. I eat their flesh and wear their skins.

Snacker sammiches are yummy. And cheap!

[The Phantom FReeper]

If God did not intend for chickens to be eaten, then He would not have made them so tasty.

"Bound to a wheelchair and repeatedly crossing the road in front of a local KFC..."

One senses a Darwin Award nominee-in-the-making.

NC ping!

[speedy]

Wearing a giant chicken outfit always enhances our credibility.

Activists will pass out leaflets

KFC should offer a free side with every leaflet presented at time of purchase.

Original or Extra Crispy???

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

I am actually enjoying some nice crispy chicken from KFC right now lol yum yum : )

[JimDingle]

My first thoughts exactly.

[girlangler]

It must be one hell of a boring life/existence to dedicate one's time to saving chickens.

I agree -- a Darwin Award winner.

[Gordongekko909]

Credit to Maddox, because he'll whine if I don't give it to him.

[CindyDawg]

No freeper Foxes in NC?

Owen Drive is a six-lane artery, and it's busy as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs.

So that's the answer to "Why did the chicken cross the road"?

[Carolinamom]

"activist" = Peta member incognito?

We need their names so that we can investigate THEM and their eating habits...whether they eat meat on the sly or have ever eaten meat. Then expose them.

I thought General Murtha was in Pennsylvania..

[Duke Nukum]

If, um, the Colonial were still alive, that chicken would have been fried up with the eleven herbs and spices.
