Trundling ominously towards me was the biggest chicken
I
had ever seen... perhaps as large as an ostrich, though
with shorter legs and neck. It stopped by my table and
looked, quizzically, at me and my lunch companion. My
companion waved it away.
I reached into my pocket and extracted
a few coins,
tossing them into the air. The "chicken" expertly caught
the coins in its beak as I announced "Mountain Dew" in a
clear voice.
The chicken pirouetted gently to present its rear toward
me and began to fluff up its feathers, before depositing
a
can of Mountain Dew and a clean plastic tumbler and
paper-wrapped drinking straw on the table beside my
plate.
It then performed a short, shuffling dance that it may
have
learned in a German Bierhall at some point, crowed a
few times and bowed to me before
toddling off to the next table, chortling happily to itself.
My companion glared after it. "I can't stand those
things",
she hissed, "Why on Earth do you encourage them?"

Every once in a while, someone posts the most amazing, thought-provoking and world-changing proposal for an invention on the Halfbakery. This isn't one of them. |
|
| |
It would change the world, though not in the way
you might like. |
|
| |
Dispensing soft drinks - maybe. Dispensing chocolate bars - definitely not. [+] |
|
| |
I'd be more concerned it dispensed yoghurt. |
|
| |
Maltesers might also be bit off-putting. Still, gets my + vote.
Would those be striped chickens? |
|
| |
I had chicken strips for lunch. |

All that effort on the robo-chicken's part for a simply poultry reward..saddening. |
|
| |
This is ridiculous. [Ubie] with a companion?? |
|
| |
She said she was my mother. Her liver was
delicious... Fresh broad bean kernels & parsnip and
sweet potato mash, flavoured with honey and cumin
and accompanied by a big Amarone della
Valpolicella... sublime. |
|
| |
Brains for entree: Ciabatta breadcrumbs and a white
truffle & orange buerre blanc with steamed white
asparagus. |
|
| |
Odd, we must be on the same menu day...I just had
that. TODAY. |
|
| |
You ate [UnaBubba]'s mother's liver today? |
|
| |
Perhaps [blissy] was my lunch companion? |
|
| |
One would never know, around here. I had lunch
with a baker once, and the rest was history. (History
aside, it was a good lunch.) |
|
| |
You squeaked through that one OK, didn't you,
[bliss]? |
|
| |
Mountain Dew? You've gotta be kidding! |
|
| |
I'd rather that than Mountin' Dew. |
|
| |
This explains a lot. The caffeine dosage in those things has certain effects... |
|
| |

|
| |
Yep,the protagonist yellow Big Bird sends shivers
down my spine. As do Coulrophobians. |
|
| |
There is a certain cartoon show called "Robot
Chicken". It is insane in a diverting but crude and
juvenile way. |
|
| |
This 'bake is much better than the show. |
|
| |
Ok, I know it's a little crude, but could the enormous mecha chicken contain a water tank, and then go wee on forest fires? Doing a double act with Smokey the Bear or summat like that... |
|
| |
//This 'bake is much better than the show//
Though you'd need a micrometer to measure the margin. |
|
| |
I never intended this chicken to be a paragon of
prudishness. |
|
| |
As long as its not chicken-flavoured soda... |
|
| |
I believe someone actually marketed / markets
turkey-flavoured soft drinks, in the US? |
|
| |
Just like chicken, only bigger. |
|
| |
They only omit the "u" in "Bourg" to avoid seeming
French. |
|
| |
I think that was an initiative from [8 of 7], wasn't it?
Seeing as how he loves the French with such
unbridled passion. |
|
| |
There is no "you" in The Borg. Only "Us". |
|
| |
is mighty quiet right now, suspicious isn't it? |
|
| |
The Borg arev off on a joint expedition with the Field
Testing Division of the Heathen Institute for Inadvisably
Applied Science & Asteroid Repurposing. Since those life-
size inflatable Rudolf Hess dolls keep showing up on the
Institute's front lawn, Alterorder Inc. has decided to find
out if they have any useful applications in desert warfare.
[8th of 7] has gone along as a native guide. Currently, I
believe they're operating out of the back room of a pub in
Torquay. |
