[TheForge] OT: Bloody rotten rooster...

[Tod Estes]

One of my devious uncles gave me a chick for easter when I was four. Turned out
to be a rooster, I named him cheeper. I put cheeper on a leash and would go bug
hunting. One day when mom went out to feed the other chickens and cheeper he
tried to spur her. She evaded him  and when dad got home he didnt believe her
and went out to feed the chickens and cheeper. I still remember cheeper
flapping up and trying to spur dad, WACK... Even cooked with dumplings cheeper
was a tough old bird.

Imagine my surprize when that fall Ginger our german shepard got hit by a car
and was mortally wounded, Dad was home and went out with a big knife and ended
Ginger's misery. Imagine my surprize that we didnt eat her. Mom still gets a
kick out of that one.
