Do Ya Wanna Play Chicken?
First thing this morning I checked my blog to see if anything was going on –something I do often these days to satisfy my OCD tendencies.
Oh joy, oh joy there were some new comments!!!!!!
One of the comments came from Anonymous. This must be a very popular name these days as I hear from a lot of people sharing that same name. I find it to be an odd name choice for a parent to make, but who can argue with trends? Undeniably, it is easier to tolerate than the drug induced names of the 70’s like “Rainbow” or Angel Sky”.
This is what Anonymous had to say on an 8:19 am comment posting this morning.
“So, I checked in and there’s nothing new. Are you hung up in your lights? Tease those keys and post something fresh. Time’s awasting!”
This was my response:
“Good God Anonymous!! Your comment was posted at 8:19 am!!!
Glad to hear from you but GET A GRIP!
Wonderful crazy person, what time zone are you in?
8:19 Eastern time makes it 6:19 am Land of Enchantment time. Was I tangled up in my lights? Hell no darlin, my lights weren’t even on!
“Regarding me teasing the keys and writing something fresh: To tell you the truth I was hoping I could get away with out and out plagiarism, worn out words and stale opinions. No one ever said I had to be fresh or original. Now you are scaring me!!”
Not wanting to totally disappoint Anonymous, I decided to give my worn out muse a bit of a break and publish a little chicken fun sent to me by my sister.
I feel I can get away with this lazy posting as it relates back to when Lauren named my blog “Shabby Chick” – a clear and undeniable chicken reference.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
DR. PHILL
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’s acting by not taking on his
‘CURRENT’ problems before adding ‘NEW’ problems.
OPRAH
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why
he wants to cross this road so bad. 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 car so that he can just drive across the
road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
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 against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
ANDERSON COOPER- CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY (remember him?)
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against
it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE
That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in
his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.
JERRY FALWELL
Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the plain truth?’
That’s why they call it the ‘other side.’ Yes, my friends, that
chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too.
I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that
the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like
‘the other side”. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It’s as
plain and as simple as that.
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.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath
the chicken?
BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?
AL GORE
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY
Where’s my gun? Does it have a vest on?
AL SHARPTON
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
Dat’s all folks,
Til next time.
