10 Sep 99 - 11:34 AM (#113163) Subject: Secret of Life - Part II From: Michael K. (By the way, I thought Catspaw49's response, in the original thread was brilliant!) WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? (Part II) Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The ends of crossing the road justify whatever motive there was. L.A. Police Department: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out. Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take. Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken nature. Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and,therefore, synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being. John Locke: Because he was exercising his natural right to liberty. Albert Camus: It doesn't matter; the chicken's actions have no meaning except to him. Scully: It was a simple bio-mechanical reflex that is commonly found in chickens. Darwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically dispositioned to cross roads. Oliver Stone: The question is not 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' but is rather 'Who was crossing the road at the same time whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?' Jerry Seinfeld: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, 'What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?' Immanuel Kant: The chicken, being an autonomous being, chose to cross the road of his own free will. Plato: For the greater good. Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you. Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road. Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road? The Sphinx: You tell me. O.J.: It didn't. I was playing golf with it at the time.

10 Sep 99 - 12:50 PM (#113180) Subject: RE: Secret of Life - Part II From: katlaughing Mae West: I told it to come see me, sometime! Valley Girl: Like ya know, it was like really weird, ya know, but, well, it ah, let's see, uh.....what was the question? Yankee: it couldn't get theyuh from heyuh, ayuh. Andy Williams: to dream the impossible dream. Senator (take yer pick): well, my learned colleague failed to approve the most efficient, tax-cutting bill of this century. This bill could've saved every American a ton of money and put a chicken in every pot. Now, due to my esteemed colleague's short-sighted policies, the chicken is free to cross the road, anytimne at all, while millions of our fellow Americans go to bed hungry, wondering why their elected officials have let them down. Come the next election, they will remember, I and my party did not want to let the chicken cross the road. Buddha: to embrace suffering,(no chicken feed on the other side of the road); letting go of all wordly concerns. Knowing that suffering is a part of life; a path to spiritual nirvana. Fundamentalist (NOI): to be sayuhved, Brother, to be sayuhved, in the bosom of our lord, for the light of our savior shines brightest on the right side of the road and our little brother, little Chicken Little, saw that light, praise be! Basta! kat

12 Sep 99 - 08:15 PM (#113724) Subject: RE: Secret of Life - Part II From: Celtic-End Singer Tony Blair: It had to reassess which side of the road it wanted to be on. Those old ideas of being on the other side of the road just aren't possible in today's modern economy. Any Tory: Because the chicken had to learn to cross the road itself. It's no good carrying the chicken across the road, otherwise it'll just get lazy. Sinn Fein spokesman: It actually took two chickens. One to cross the road and the other to claim responsibility |

12 Sep 99 - 08:37 PM (#113729) Subject: RE: Secret of Life - Part II From: phil jl I'm unsure about some of the words in the song Danny Farrell. They are hard to understand in the Dubliner's recording and those in the database don't seem to quite make sense. Perhaps someone at Mudcat can help me. In the second line of the first verse. What are 'worriors' ? Last line, first verse. Should '..his travelling evil's clan' be '..the travelling people's plan' ? Second line of chorus. Should '.. people please hater' be 'people's police hater' Third line of chorus. What is a 'gorier' ? Second and third lines of second verse. The words in the DB don't seem right. Last line, third verse. Should '..takers' be '..tinkers' Thanks for a very interesting web site Phil |

This is the first time I have posted to Mudcat and even though I went through the steps carefully I still clicked on submit instead of clear when I found I had pasted my request into the wrong window. I have now posted into a new thread. Thank, Phil |

12 Sep 99 - 10:32 PM (#113750) Subject: RE: Secret of Life - Part II From: WyoWoman That second one is obsceeeeen. Poor Phil -- wandering in to the Secret of Life on his first visit to the 'Cat. Welcome, Phil -- I'd like to say it isn't usually this nutty, but, well, as a former Girl Sprout, I feel honor bound to tell the truth. Sometimes, it's completely insane here. BUT -- you can almost always find someone to actually help you with music-related questions, in addition to meeting all your chicken-joke needs. Someone should head over to the Tavern. Poor 'Spaw is wandering around in there by himself, bumping into Doors. WyoWoman |
