09 Sep 99 - 10:37 AM (#112795) Subject: Secret of Life is to ask Questions From: Michael K. WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?? JERRY FALWELL Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." PAT BUCHANAN To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American. DR. SEUSS Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told! ERNEST HEMINGWAY To die. In the rain. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. GRANDPA In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. ARISTOTLE It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. KARL MARX It was a historical inevitability. SADDAM HUSSEIN This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. RONALD REAGAN What chicken? KEN STARR I intend to prove that the chicken crossed the road at the behest of the president of the United States of America in an effort to distract law enforcement officials and the American public from the criminal wrongdoing our highest elected official has been trying to cover up. As a result, the chicken is just another pawn in the president's ongoing and elaborate scheme to obstruct justice and undermine the rule of law. For that reason, my staff intends to offer the chicken unconditional immunity provided he co-operates fully with our investigation. Furthermore, the chicken will not be permitted to reach the other side of the road until our investigation and any Congressional follow-up investigations have been completed. (We also are investigating whether Sid Blumenthal has leaked information to the Rev. Jerry Falwell, alleging the chicken to be homosexual in an effort to discredit any useful testimony the bird may have to offer, or at least to ruffle his feathers.) CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK To boldly go where no chicken has gone before. FOX MULDER You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it? FREUD The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. BILL GATES I have just released eChicken 98, which will not only explore your documents, and balance your checkbook-and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken. 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 do you mean by chicken? Could you define chicken please? LOUIS FARRAKHAN The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down. THE BIBLE And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken," Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing. COLONEL SANDERS I missed one? |

Get that 450 with a 10 gig...gotta' have multiple lines. Chicken can get with the program that way and I won't have to screw around with all those damn pissant systems you all have got. JOE OFFER: I don't know, but if you'll give me 3 minutes, I can locate 2691 reference sites that might have additional information...and wasn't that a nice thing for the chicken to do? BIG MICK: To get better working conditions of course. A fair day's laying for a fair amount of feed. Chickens need better health insurance and better contracts so that they share in the proceeds from the sale of residue chickenshit.......except for that little bastard of a rooster there that's going after "the Fair One"...Get me an Ax........... KATLAUGHING: That sweet chicken....just probably wants a better view to help it investigate the mysteries of the cosmos, commune with the great "Spirit Chicken," and meditate upon the virtues of flight feathers. RICK FIELDING: It had a chance to get a deal on vintage Martin, and someone had been stealing all his guitars on this side. On the other side he can play a proper F chord too, although I don't know what the hell that would be with those claws.......lessee now, you put the first talon on the....no that won't work. Use the second talon on the third so you can get the ninth...yeah, let's try that and...... BIG RiB: I really don't know, but I think it a fine idea if that's what the chicken wants. But I will add that no matter what the chicken wants, it has to take reality into account. And although I would hope to offer every possible assistance and kindness....the bird's going in the pot. BILL D.: Because it has a brain the size of a pea. There is nothing wrong with this side of the road; it's been here and withstood the test of time and was good enough for 593 generations of chickens before. JERI: It went over there to peck the crap out of Beebs for wiring up Catspaw with that stupid picture...and I like that in a chicken. BBC(bbc): What a nice chicken to share with us on both sides of the road. That's so very kind of you. And tell me chicken, do you have any daughters. You see, my son David........... ART THIEME: (You are all free to insert the absolute worst chicken jokes you know here. Please feel free to steal any of Art's too and insert them here if you don't have one of your own) SANDY PATON: I really like the way the chicken crossed and it reminded me of a previous chicken crossing. Seems to me that Cherisse Chicken had a real nice version of road crossing too. Oh, and there's a beautiful duck version if I can find it around here........ ALISON(alison): Mick, leave the rooster alone. And tell the chicken when he gets to the other side, I'll be in the ICQ chatroom #6894863878375883996635477589364859361 BANJER: Beats me...but one good whack with this banjo and that chicken will be marryin' up with some homemade dumplings. LEJ: The chicken swaggered up to the bar across the road and waited a moment at the door while he checked to see if his Roscoe was ready for action. Rock Island Red awaited him inside and he knew the price of not being prepared. It had happened before. ALICE: I really don't care why, but when he gets here I've only got a few minutes to whip his chicken ass. Then I've got get in the shower so I can learn the lyrics to a new song, "I Don't Know Why My Harp Warps So Badly." BERT: We used to play a game with chickens when I was young, but I can't seem to remember the rules....Or maybe we played chicken. I remember eating chicken, or was that a low fat chicken banger I had last night instead? I know there must be a chicken emoticon somewhere too. I think I remember writing a song about chicken emoticons, but I don't remember. MMARIO: It's probably trying to escape from the school on the other side. I made the mistake of issuing that school the password "chickenlips" and now every time they go on line, they damn near rip the chicken's beak off checking. ROGER the ZIMMER: Oh, GREAT! We're into chicken now? Wonderful! I just happen to have a tanker filled with machine separated, jellied, cherry flavored, chicken pudding that I can leave with you before going on to the "Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed" on holiday! EL SWANNO: If I smash that sucker with one of these damn Scott Air Pacs, I can stuff it down my fishnet tights with the head sticking out and Pam will freak. Or maybe I can send it to the Captain as a gift when I'm picking up the new squad. Or maybe..... PETER T.: Once again, the tragedy of the human stamp upon the environment has forced a lovely creature out of it's natural surroundings and forced it to take refuge in the coops and barnyards blighting the once glorious and green vistas so once well cared for by the tolerant and guiding hand of mother nature.................... Well there's more obviously, but I gotta' get something done around the house and in the shop before the day's out! Spaw

09 Sep 99 - 02:40 PM (#112891) Subject: RE: Secret of Life is to ask Questions From: Songbob My friend Jon Eberhart sang a wonderful song -- learned from Tennessee Ernie Ford, of all people -- called "Chicken Road," which was/is one of those quirky lots-of-odd-images-but-no-story-line songs. I can't remember it, but a line or two (probably incorrect, but what the hey) might give you an idea: Once I had a boil on the side of my aching neck [Grandma shot a squirrel last Thursday, by heck.] Down at the creek, I saw a million toads -- Wonderful town, Chicken Road. Sandy -- did he record that one for Folk Legacy? I'm not at home, so I can't look up the titles on his record, but you can. The line in [brackets] I made up whole cloth, 'cause my memory couldn't come up with anything like the real words. The line after that is suspect, too. Now I think the Dylan version would be called "Sad-eyed Banty of the Farmyard," or "All Along the Fence Row," but I could be wrong. Bob Clayton |

SPAW YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF! This...This will go down in Mudcat history as one of the very best, very funniest of all postings. BTW, did the chicken have a navel to contemplate? Maybe it crossed because it wanted to peck at the nice shiny quartz crystals that were strewn about? Or, maybe its cosmic master told it to, thereby saving it from being roadkill when that 2 ton tanker truck full of chickenshit came careening around the corner, on the wrong side of the road, so close to the road-crossing chicken it could feel the breeze up its arse! Then, again, perhaps in a past life it lived in the UK and so was used to walking on the opposite side than it did in this lifetime in the US (this chicken IS in the US, right? I am being hemicentric here, Sorry!)

I had debated asking if any of you knew any songs relevant to straightening out roads or pathways, because of some disagreements with a local mall over their pedestrian route which "is safest because it keeps pedestrians away from traffic" but actually crosses more roads, and goes a long way out of the way. I wanted something funny to do to draw attention to their unreasonable setup, and those chickens certainly could do that. Why did the chicken cross the road; because that was what the traffic engineer made it do? Penny |

13 Sep 99 - 04:46 PM (#113949) Subject: RE: Secret of Life is to ask Questions From: Peter T. A friend of mine in Toronto gives a hilarious slide lecture called "Walking to the Ministry of Transportation and Communication". To get from the Ministry to anywhere you have to use your car. If you try and walk you have to cross 10 lanes of traffic (our highway 401), and if you don't want to do that, it is a complete unholy mess. She has these great slides of herself on foot, on a bicycle, etc., trying to get a cup of coffee, meeting friends, shopping in the area.

13 Sep 99 - 04:54 PM (#113951) Subject: RE: Secret of Life is to ask Questions From: Penny S. I ahve a friend who says its like that in Phoenix. But that isn't planned for pedestrians, is it? This bunch parrot about the safest route, and that we have been given a footpath which is safe, as if we should be grateful, totally disregarding the very basic psychology of wanting to follow a direct route. What now worries me is that by building fences to prevent people following a route at least as safe as theirs, people are now taking dangerous risks, pushing pushchairs across several lanes, leaping fences adjacent to traffic, walking along the roads and so on, determined to follow their choice. Bert's Mobius path best approximates the official route! I have a plan to win by ridicule. Penny |

02 Nov 00 - 12:03 PM (#332820) Subject: RE: Secret of Life is to ask Questions From: mousethief DOUGR: Well that's one person's interpretation of the chicken's perapatetic activity. I fully believe the chicken never did cross the road, but everybody has to decide for himself and I'll be damned if I'll point you to any websites that speak to the issue; look it up yourself. MATT_R: I don't have time to think about chickens crossing the road. Hell, I've got a final in photographic navel-gazing in three days and I have to take photos of manhole covers and lobotomy scars, not chickens crossing roads. But here's the words to an Oasis song about chickens crossing roads: [snip] PRAISE: Glory to Jesus for road-crossing chickens! My husband, Hardi, can't find time to post here, but he recently preached a sermon about chickens. If anybody wants to talk to me about chickens, PM me or email me at motormice@hotmail.com. GUEST: You f***ing idiots! You think you're so f***ing smart because you can speculate about stupid chickens. I used to have an account here but all this f****ing sh*t about stupid chickens made me delete it. F*** off, all of you! HARPGIRL: I never want to see a thread about chickens here again. This is my opinion and my meta-statement. MOUSETHIEF: Here's a song I just wrote about chickens to a non-folk tune you all probably know, aren't I clever? ---------------
