   Coinkidink: I just won a bet with a co-worker over whether “chickens urinate through their skin”…

   No, they don’t. Go figure. They don’t sweat either.

   What kind’a sicko makes chickens eat out of a frying pan, an irony one, too.

   *raises hand*
   ‘Sides, they’re too young to get it.
   [right?]

   We bought ‘em like that. But since the other day when I saw a mommy ‘n’ baby at a friend’s barn: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant.

   Maybe next year…..
   IF I have one go broody…
   IF I can find a nice, calm, docile rooster…..

    Claire, you want to be careful, and the rest of you too.

    I hear that those “chicks” have retained Gloria Allred to represent them.

    They first object to being referred to with a lack of respect (“chicks”), and then go on to matters of greater substance, such as being required to provide people with dinner.

    “What do you call that one?”
    “Dinner.”

    Think he’ll appoint Scott Thompson (aka “Buddy”) as his “Gay Czar”?

    —Good luck with the nice,calm,docile rooster— Folks had one that chases our uncle out of the hen house–uncle tripped on the threshold landed flat on his face with the rooster pecking at his head—- try not to laugh at that when your a kid—we knew to stay away from that crazy rooster.

    I hate to see cast iron used like that, I hope the pan was already messed up beyond repair. Yes, I admit it, I love cast iron cookware.

    Doug M @3, I nearly lost it reading that post.

    Y’all kill me!

    blindshooter, right you are on both counts.

    My favorite piece of cookware is a cast iron skillet my Mom got for a wedding present… in 1937. (Kinda tells you what social strata I’M from, huh?) Makes the best cornbread you ever had.

    ^ I liked seeing the cast iron skillet put to good use in Jumping Jack Flash. Might have been Whoopi’s finest moment.

    People are just like chickens. That one showin’ his ass is named Obama.

    Or maybe Barney.

    Claire, congrats on getting your chicken house goin’.
    Good luck findin’ a calm, gentle rooster!
    Now you’ll know in the future not to offend any of the members
    of the Church of Holy & Ancient Cast-Iron Fryin’ Pans.
    Apparently they’re very respectful of the Blessed Irony!

    It’s okay, Lance. Not everyone who likes to cook is a huge fan of Cast Iron. I appreciate them for what they are, but I ain’t in a rush to inherit any.

    Claire, I don’t have to tell you this, but for the sake of any casual visitors who may not know…

    …don’t put a fox in charge of the security for your chicken house — this is like putting a Democrat in charge of your budget.

    ^ Obama, our first Rooster President?

    Or “First Lesbian President?” (see below)

    http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/05/obama-our-first-gay-female-black-hispanic-asian-jewish-president/52299/

    Or at least our first “Gay-Female-Hispanic-Asian-Jewish President.”

    I’d have never thought I’d be hoping that we soon have our first Mormon President (why would I care?), yet here we are.
