Can I ask a question? What's all this "chicken" talk?

[shaerich]

I almost feel intrusive asking b/c there's clearly a history here... but I've seen it in several posts just in the last couple days.  Is there something funny about chickens?

Sirens and little white coats :-)  I haven't seen a Bojangles in years.  I didn't realize KFC had a new formula - probably cooked in a different kind of oil to which I am allergic :-(  Same as McDonald's fries.  Oh well.  Nyxie, thanks for the heads up on not cooking a chicken on a spit.  I could see my husband trying that :-).  I love Fried Green Tomatoes, that's a great movie.

Actually the tinfoil hat comment came from something that happened in real life a couple of years ago.  A bunch of our friends got together and decided to have a real-life open fire pit dinner.  Who was the genius that suggested whole chickens on a spit?  Me!  (not realizing that it takes forever to roast a chicken on a spit over an open fire).  To accelerate the cooking process, one of my friends made these little tin foil tents to go over the chickens to reflect heat back down onto them.

Fast forward 3 hours and more than a few adult beverages later....

Drunken ramblings, as drunken ramblings tend to do, managed to go from tin foil covers on the chickens to accelerate cooking to conspiracies involving aliens that were sending beams down to our chickens to prevent them from cooking and therefore we had to protect them with tinfoil.  To avoid further alien contamination, we also made tin foil hats for ourselves.  This isn't necessarily logical as we were all pretty well cooked by that time.

OK OK OK ... let her in on "sorry Cheryl" ... you see, I've had quite a few ups and downs since my thyroid surgery in the scar dept (abscesses and another mini surgical procedure to remove a good sized granuloma that was infected, etc., etc. and then passed a kidney stone only 12 days post op and the list goes on and on) so since my body has failed in quite a few areas (oh 3 root canals, too) they call me Mrs. Potato Head as in the kid's game where all the pieces fall apart and need to be put back together.

And I think another Chicken joke was from me wayyyyy back .. my screename on the Internet can be seen as MaHenHere which is Ma Hen Here bcz I have 4 kids and tend to look out for all my friends like they are little "chickadees" ......so if you see reference there to chickens you know whay now LOL!!!

One last thing is that when you are a thyroid survivor we have kind of adopted this symbol  ::))  double smiles .. but they gave me a third as in this symbol :::))) bcz of my 2nd mini surgery to remove the granuloma right above the thyroid incision ..

Now my ? to all .. is the ::)) all thyroid or cancer thyroid ??  I've wondered about that .... double smiles are all thyroids if I am not mistaken, correct ?? .. better set me straight!!!

Cheryl :::)))  btw, they call me an over-achiever bcz I carry the duplicate : and )  LOL

Tinfoil hat?  Is that from that M. Night Shamylan (or however you spell it) movie?  So aliens can't mess with our brains?  Or is it a reference to something else entirely.  I still love the chicken comment, I still lol.  I prefer my chicken from KFC or made by my mom.  :-)
