You don't see that everyday

[ericcoleman]

I was driving home last night. I came up on a car doing about 50, I was right at the speed limit which was 65. I passed him. He was driving a mid 80s 4 door sedan that looked in reasonable shape. He was probably in his 60s or so. All pretty normal for Iowa roads.

He did, however, have a chicken in his lap. Now that is something you don't see everyday.

Well, one never knows when one might need one.

My brain is strange today. It is wandering to what Gary Larson would do with a seeing eye chicken...

[ericcoleman]

Today?

Though, why anyone checks out other drivers' laps at highway speed is something we may not want to know. :-)

It was more that the chicken was looking out the window, with this look like it wished it was a dog ...

You know there's a song in this, don't you?

[ericcoleman]

The idea terrifies me

[uberhill.livejournal.com]

So you'll consider it then. Good.

I'm thinking that it needs to be a parody of Chuck Berry's Maybelline...which already mentions a "Coop" DeVille.

I have a tape from my first Chambanacon, with somebody singing "Ghost Chickens in the sky" not sure who it was performing it though

something about the undead chickens taking revenge on a chicken farmer

I would never play with another man's chicken

Isn't it illegal to drive with your pecker out?

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Only if it's a cock.

STANDING OVATION

[lemmozine.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't that be a standing OVULATION?!?

In the song, at some point, the chicken needs to steer the car because the driver has fallen asleep.

Call the song "Chicken At the Wheel"

I don't know what tune, but Arlo Guthrie's Running Down the Road would fit the title.

Well, the chicken evidently was tired of *crossing* the road...
Maybe the chicken wanted the man to drive down the centre of the road so it could lay it on the line...

Well, huh. That's...just ducky...or...clucky? Oh, how the feathers could fly!

I want FRESH fried chicken, not the stuff that's been sitting out all day, drying out under a heat lamp. In fact, the best way to get chicken that fresh is by bringing them the chicken myself!
