This is totally one of those ideas that is so cool...for about the first couple of days. Then you're left explaining it to everyone else for the rest of your life.

I once dated a girl that always raised chickens for FFA because the profit margin on them was so great. You buy them as chicks dirt cheap. The feed is cheap. They are super easy to take care of. Then you show them in the fair, and some rich sucker pays you big bucks for them.

I use chickens for Voodoo rituals.

Buy road island reds. They appease the gods of manufacturing to work out production problems.

Everybody at work thinks it's my engineering skills, but truthfully, it's the road island red sacrifices that do it.

And the underwear.

Boxerbriefs by whatever manufacturer produces them....they're all part of a large sect often talked about in hushed tones. Now speak no more of this, lest the gods of elastic take out their anger on you by losing their retention properties. We've already said too much.

Everyone do me a favor and take a look at this light

I didn't eat chicken for like 4 years. That job almost made me a vegetarian. Luckily, Double Quarter Pounders brought me back.

Yep, that sounds like chicken killing to me!

Killing Time. An old past-time of mine (and also the reason I can't stomach eating chicken on a bone) Here's some quick facts about slaughtering chickens:

You still wake up sometimes, don't you, Cooter? Wake up in the dark, with the chickens screaming?

Do you think if you saved Gertie, you could make them stop...? Do you think, if Gertie lives, you won't wake up in the dark, ever again, to the screaming of the chickens? Do you...?

No nightmares here.

It was all in "self defense"... yeah... that's what it was... it was me or them.

Too bad I didn't have one of them laser pointers.

I could have blinded them all and watched them run around crashing into each other. "Chicken Derby" style. Boo-yah!

fredster · « **Reply #53 on:** January 14, 2005, 08:09:07 pm »

You must look the chicken in the eye before you kill it to get the satisfaction.

Make sure it knows it's going to die a most horrible death, maybe flaunt the fact it won't see another day.

Then gather the other chickens around and grasp the chicken's throat tightly. Then swing the chicken like a bolo and rotate the neck 2 or three times. There will be a snap and gurgling.

Laugh, laugh in a deep satisfied way so that the other chickens realize that this is personal, very personal.

Toss the chicken to the ground and it will gurgle just a little and run for a while. If it comes toward you it gives you the perfect opportunity to deliver a final kick while the chicken's brain may still be able to process the pain....

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #54 on:** January 16, 2005, 12:47:50 pm »

fredster,

That's harsh..and scary.

Did a chicken give you "bad touch" or something?

If that fly was trying to take my gun (or a McTurd sammich from me) I'd stomp 'im like a grape!

I appreciate you think so highly of us. It warms my cockles....and my sub-cockles.....my whole cockle region.

Heh! No doubt!

A lot of my ideas require us owning our house. With the prices of houses the way they are today (thank you, low interest rates!) we'll never be able to afford one. Unless we inherit it, and I'm not keen on anyone dying anytime.

Is that mag still around? Back in the day it was pretty good.

SirPeale · « **Reply #62 on:** January 16, 2005, 07:23:40 pm »

Even building a house myself it would still be exorborant. The prices on just *land* are outrageous in this area.

Recently we checked on a 1 acre parcel. There was a junked trailer, along with a ton of garbage and many junked cars. It was going for over $50,000 - and it SOLD!

IG-88 · « **Reply #63 on:** January 16, 2005, 07:37:52 pm »

Dang! I won't mention then what land goes for around here.

Oh, and Cooter, the feb/march issue # 208 is in my bathroom as we speak. Gawd, am I that transparent?

Go ahead...what's it going for? That was just one example.

I don't read Mother Earth News...but I should.

MrC,

The same method works with liberals....

fredster · « **Reply #69 on:** January 17, 2005, 10:24:45 am »

Peale,

It's a huge country. Why don't you just move to pursue your American Dream? Just pick up and move. I did that when things were getting too expensive and I found a better place with great people.

Move south, find what you want. It's just way too expensive up there.

Down in KY you can have 10 acres and a double wide for $50K with a tractor. Your wife may not make the same money, but you won't need to either.

SirPeale · « **Reply #70 on:** January 17, 2005, 10:29:18 am »

Likely because all my friends and family are here. I may not be living the american dream, but at least we've got that.

fredster · « **Reply #71 on:** January 17, 2005, 11:26:38 am »

I had that too. I made new friends and some of my family moved where I was.

It works out, It's all good!

SirPeale · « **Reply #72 on:** January 17, 2005, 01:40:35 pm »

Well, I also *like* living here. Just can't buy a house here.

Oh well, it could be worse.

I dunno. I'd rather have land if I wanted chickens. I bet the neighbors would be pissed with all that clucking comming from the apartment next door.

I'd rather have my son grow up in KY in a trailer park than in Park Avenue in NY.

I hate big cities. I live in TN, and when I drive on the road if I see another car they are either from out of town or the neighbors forgot it was my turn to use the road

SirPeale · « **Reply #76 on:** January 17, 2005, 02:21:32 pm »

Heh...I'm far from Park Ave in NY. I live in Vermont. The Southernmost tip, actually.
