Oh my dear, I hate chickens.

[Wyl Staedtler]

So I got attacked by a rooster today. It just happened to be crossing the street at the same time I was, and decided that since I'd been up since 3 am (thus having the energy of a slug) and was carrying bags of glass objects, it would be a fun idea to try and tear my legs off. It's pretty humiliating, not being able to outrun a bird with three foot legs.

How was everybody elses day?

[Crystal]

Chickens are amazing creatures. It is wrong for you to hate them. Apologize to me at once :mad

[Morgan Evanar]

Roosters can be real jerks. My day was long, but I think I did nicely on my math test.

[Marceloi]

Roosters fear the right boot up the backside. I dont get why people are fearful of barnyard birds, your bigger, your stronger, the foot you hvae beats a bird's beak anytime.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

The chicken had THREE FOOT LEGS?!

There is no shame in quaking in fear at the approach of a giant rooster. ^_^;

[Wyl Staedtler]

:lol Oops, I meant to say three inch legs. You can see how traumatizing this was.

some of the geese we have here...I swear they'd eat small children if we put them in the same room...

>_< I was almost eaten by an emu once... It took an entire waffle cone sundae out of my hand, and nearly my hand with it. I swear it was like a jurassic chicken...

Now you see, the Emu IS an animal to be scraed of. Frankly Geese might try to bite you but a good hard boot and / or a human suddenly roaring and snarling, flapping arms scares small barnyard animals. Bardyard birds are heirachical, so if you make it clear your not going to take nonsense, they will back off.

Emus tho, well they are Australian and we all know Australian animals are ridiculously deadly. Stay clear. Especially stay clear fo Drop Bears.

Are those Koalas?

[Sanis Prent]

The worst thing to fear from chickens and/or roosters is the stink. If you can survive that, you can punt them like downy, living footballs. But my oh my they smell terrible.

I was asked to help persuade a flock of geese off my friend's property with my WASR-10. After a few of those bastards are turned inside out from rifle fire, the rest decide that swimming in your pond and crapping on your front porch might not be a profitable venture!

Drop Bears are not Koalas. Whoever tries to tell you otherwise is part of the tourism industry's efforts to force a government coverup.

Well, I punched out a seagull once. It stole my Cheetos during a field trip, and as it snatched my bag, I took a swing. The blow landed, hurt my fist (lil' guys are actually somewhat sturdy), and knocked the bird to the ground. And it didn't get up. So I either TKO'ed it, or killed it. Not sure which......

And on my grandfather's farm, a pasttime of mine is pegging chickens with whatever they're being fed. Apples gone bad, corn, hard biscuits, ect.

Chickens are ok, but they don't make good pets, or even good alarm clocks. But they do taste great deep fried, grilled, baked, ect.

Actually Emu's are really stupid. If you can raise your hand above it making it thinky you're bigger it'll run away. Saw it on discovery channel was pretty hilarious. Soon as the guy dropped his hand it would come running back but if he raised it again it was stop in its track and book it in the other direction.

[Nevlonniel]

Everything in Australia is out to kill you. :uhoh

As for Emu's being really stupid... yeah, they really ARE stupid. At one of those zoo shows, they had an Emu, and it'd taken them a whole freakin year just to train it to go back and forth between two people. Chances are, each time it goes back to the previous person it JUST left, it probably thinks it's a new person all together.

And as for chickens not making good pets, I guess it depends on the chicken and the person. My mom had a chicken when she was a little girl and it would come when she called it. It would also follow her around the house.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Ugh, my dad got it in his head that he could be an emu rancher - bought four of the damn things. And of course my sister and I ended up taking care of them.

I'll never ever forget (and I know neither will Mitch) one Thanksgiving when my dad - in his infinite wisdom - decided that having Emu alongside turkey would be a great idea. What it ended up being was a lesson in incompetence, as it ended up taking two gunshots, a baseball bat, and an axe to kill an emu. Mitch got it all on tape before promptly clotheslining himself on the dogline while running back to his car for another camera battery.

[Bandage]

:lol

Good God, don't let the animal activists get ahold of that footage....Honestly, I don't know what's funnier: the wisdom referrence, or the motley assortment of weapons that had to be used to kill the giant chicken (really, that's all emus are).

Speaking of giant chickens: the chicken with three-foot legs. It has a name: Big Bird. ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I forget to mention the machete. Had one of those, too - didn't do any good though. I took a swing, and what was supposed to be the sharp edge literally bounced off the emu's neck.

[Nevlonniel]

Super Emu!! O_o

[Marga Alton]

Emu's are the most vicious bird I've ever come across. My Grandparents had two of them and one weekend I was visiting them with my parents. My parents and grandparents went out for the night leaving me to take care of their critters (and they have alot), I had to go into the emu pen to feed the stupid things. My grandpa told me to take a big stick with me and swing it at either of them if they came near me. The only good thing about an emu is the size of their eggs. If you like lots of eggs, then an emu egg is the egg for you.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Taken when I was back in good ole high school.

Yummmmm

[Razielle Alastor]

All this talk of emu's is giving me some kind of post traumatic thing! :uhoh

[Morgan Evanar]

So 80s Christin.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

She's perpetually a decade behind, much like Germany and Japan.

She's got some great techno music ;)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We all suffered from 80s fashion at some point. Unless you're a baby like Alpha or something. :)

[Jedieb]

My father was raised on a farm so like many Cubans it made perfect sense for him to have chickens in the back yard. Crazy, sadistic fool! The damn things chased my 7 year old self on a seemingly daily basis. They'd peck at the back of my legs and send me shrieking into the house. I danced a jig the day my dog killed the lot of them. Stupid chickens! I revel in the fact I ate their unborn!!!!!!!!

[Wyl Staedtler]

Hey, man, haven't you heard? The 80's are the new now, what with the return of Miami Vice, The Smurfs, and big hair. It's boss.

[Jedieb]

Am I the only one to shudder at the sight of Don Johnson Miami Vice and David Hasselhoff Knight Ridder Halloween costumes?

And yes, I listen to big 80's hair bands. I'll be seeing Bon Jovi in January. New Jersey RULES! :crack

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

When I lived in Florida, I wouldn't wear jeans unless they had holes in the knees.

I was so cool back then.

Haha my fave jeans were all the ones I'd worn holes into, too.

I think holey jeans are almost back, or have they made a comeback already?

[Sanis Prent]

Those were 90's.

Yes I had them SO WHAT

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

the 80's and 90's are all one blend of culture to me :\

[Razielle Alastor]

Stop or I'll resurrect my Rainbow Bright legwarmers! :lol

You bet they have! I saw a pair of jeans with huge holes, patches, threads, coffee stains and soiled with mud priced at $200. No kidding. I laughed for a bit, then realized my worn out clothes is the hot new trend right now.. :p
