Because I roasted his boneless thighs with honey and rosemary.




Seriously, it was quite tasty.

Hitler was on the other side.
spudcon • Jun 11, 2009 2:06 am
Because someone drove on the shoulder, and squashed him there.

85 % of it is directly traceable to bean counting MBAs in senior management playing money games.

The chicken tried to cross the road, but he was on a treadmill, and all of a sudden he took off and splatted into the broad side of a Bentley.
DanaC • Jun 11, 2009 9:02 am
The chicken couldn't cross the road because the Russians were bombing the other side of the street....


No wait...sorry that's Chechen*

Because he looked both ways and there was to much traffic. So he waited. And he still waits.

Why doth the chicken wait?
Sundae • Jun 11, 2009 11:48 am
Because he saw what happened to the pelican crossing.
Queen of the Ryche • Jun 11, 2009 12:04 pm
because it's mother was hit by a car on that very same road on 9/11.

zzzing
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 12:17 pm
Because the chicken
All out of love and grotesque
with hatred of her
missing cock
Who had once loved her and
Lamented the frolic
of days past
by the road, the river of drink, the mountain of meth
So she slammed him in the head with a shovel
To his hurt and glee

Jaysus Christ, have you been stealing material from tiki? Coz, baby, that's some heavy SHIT.

I was gonna go with Undertoad (Godwin's Law be damned) but now I change my answer to Shawnee because I'm afraid of her. :thepain:
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 1:48 pm
[COLOR="Silver"]pssst, I was lampooning.[/COLOR]

Good, Flint. Live in fear, live in fear.
Trilby • Jun 11, 2009 1:50 pm
fer the love of all mankind, WHAT were you lampooning? I MUST know! It's...brilliant!
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 1:52 pm
[COLOR="Silver"]pssst: it was my version of 99 Laments, for the chickens, Grendelchicken, of course. You were right in your initial comparison.[/COLOR] ;)

I may not be a poet, but I know my poets.

:)


wonderful fun.

I changed my user title, too, Shawnee. I am co-queen, after all.
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 2:07 pm
Yay! :)

I'm also the Lady of Lampooning Laments.
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 2:16 pm
I fixed my title, we're co-Queens, no use me acting like I'm one better. :lol:

I wasn't invited, but as I have a strawberry tattoo I figure I MUST have been Strawberry Queen at some point, right?
DanaC • Jun 11, 2009 3:04 pm
I get left out of all the really cool stuff! I have no strawberry tattoos or anythin!


*grumbles*

I'll just stick to being English.




[eta] I actually really liked Tiki's poetry. Yes it was self indulgent, and yes she seems to be very enamoured with her own suffering ... but that's often a good basis for poetry. Not usually a great basis for a relationship...but makes for a good poem.

I started reading it, and liked it. But I couldn't get over the fact I thought she was rude, so I didn't want to compliment her. In the end I decided the easiest path was not to read any more, so that I didn't feel too hypocritical. Moral coward here.
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 3:26 pm
I didn't like it much. Easy to replicate, as shown by chickens. Just my opinion, mind you.

Dana, you can be a co-queen as well! I LOVE IT.
glatt • Jun 11, 2009 3:27 pm
Tiki's poetry was the only thing of value that she offered to the Cellar, and she deleted that thread. So there you have it.

It was a play on Spinal Tap "one louder."

Sheesh, my humor is lost too often. ;)
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 3:30 pm
Really? That many people liked it?

*grabs pencil and runs to room*
Queen of the Ryche • Jun 11, 2009 3:30 pm
"I'm Tiki, I was more in love than any of you will ever fathom, I will never get over it, so I'm going to continue to drown in it for as long as you'll have me, and when you tire of me, I'll go do it somewhere else......in my cowboy boots and choir robe."

Too bad. She was a decent poet and I liked hearing about her gardens and chickens.
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 3:32 pm
Exactly: self-indulgent, easily replicated, a few decent lines. Eh...
classicman • Jun 11, 2009 3:43 pm
eh - there's enough crap going on in the world without having to read about her self absorbed bullshit - - -
it rhymed,
some of the time,
I gotta give her that,
but she took it all back.
I really don't care
given neither or both?
I'd rather be spared.
capnhowdy • Jun 11, 2009 7:19 pm
Because he was afraid Barney Fife would ticket him for jaywalking.
Shawnee123 • Jun 11, 2009 7:25 pm
Because he was afraid Gomer would make a citizen's arrest.
Aliantha • Jun 11, 2009 7:28 pm
...because it was too chicken.

If it'd been less chicken (and more dog for example) it probably would have crossed the road, but it wasn't, so it stayed on this side. :)
classicman • Jun 11, 2009 7:44 pm
Because it was at Jinx's/Jims house eatin veggie tacos and drinkin corona - would you have left just to cross the stinkin road?
DanaC • Jun 11, 2009 7:45 pm
Oh thats the second time tacos have come up. I want a taco...I really want a taco...

Damnit, do I have to change my signature line?
