I didn't read the original article, nor should you. Rules, you know. I think it's a day dedicated to omelettes, buffalo wings, thighs, drumsticks, breasts, tenders and nuggets and the fine chickens who/which/that literally make them. (Respect chickens, respect their pronouns.)
Some of my best FRiends have chickens for pets. Others are glad to egg them on.
Posted as news because it's an actual official day, a worthy global cause. And Chicken Little was an optimist.
Big Bird was not available for comment, he's now panhandling and probably mugging Bert and Ernie for lunch money, thanks to Trump. Or, maybe he's nuggets.
Perhaps some frog legs prepared the french way. I hear it tastes like chicken.
Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
DONALD TRUMP: We will build a big wall to keep illegal chickens from crossing the road. We will have a door for legal chickens. It’s gonna be AMAZING!
TED CRUZ: It doesn’t matter where the damn chicken was born.
JOHN KERRY: We will trust the chicken to tell us whether it crossed the road or not.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: We need to waterboard that chicken to find out why it crossed the road.
RAND PAUL: It’s none of our business why the chicken crossed the road.
NANCY PELOSI: We will have to wait until the chicken crosses the road to see what it says.
MARCO RUBIO: To get to the other side. To get to the other side. To get to the other side.
CARLY FIORINA: Hilary Clinton lied about why the chicken crossed the road.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: I crossed the road with that chicken.
BEN CARSON: This isn’t brain surgery, so why did the chicken cross the road?
SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he’s a maverick!
BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs. Period.
HILLARY CLINTON: What difference at this point does it make why the chicken crossed the road?
BERNIE SANDERS: The chicken crossed the road to flee poverty on this side, and to attend tuition-free community college on the other side.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he is acting by not taking on his current problems before adding any new problems.
OPRAH: I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2016, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your checkbook.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
GRANDPA: In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
I’ve done the Chicken Hypnosis and have amazed friends and families with it! It really works!
A teacher at the UW Madison School of Ag taught me how to do it. ;)
I just built my chicken palace pen just South of Milwaukie, Oregon. Strong small gauge chain link, with a raccoon proof roof, and brick surround to discourage digging.
I have a solid rat abatement plan too:
1) Owl box.
2) Ratting cat.
3) 3 feet of distance between the pen and any other cover so that my predators can intercept them.
4) A rat-proof coop design in which I can locate the feed and lock up tight at night when the rats scavenge.
5) Coop on stilts so rats have nothing to tunnel under.
6) CO2 powered rat trap.
So I’m hopeful for a rat limited chicken experience at the new property!
That’s a fun read. A blast from the past!
Last time I read about Carly Fiona, was when she fell down a trap door while giving a campaign speech.
Remember that?
Rabbit tastes like chicken. Frog legs, I’d say more like trout.
I’ve had frog legs. Never tried rabbit.
Just a quick post here to egg on more Freepun replies. (Although I think we’ve been down this road before).
I was just trying to decide how to make chicken tonight - my family loves pineapple chicken, others are asking for chicken taco bowls - and the leftovers will go to the dogs.
Awesome 👍
I”m glad you didn’t show much respect for rats, this is a chicken thread.
Each Chicken clutch has its own Pecking Order.
Any new birds must quickly learn how that order of privilege works. Ask any Chicken, and they will say
“CAAFO!” or “Cluck Around, and Find Out!”
Let’s not forget Peter Griffin’s foe on Family Guy. That bird can take a punch!
