"p.p.s. aschenfire, i enjoyed and understood the chocobo reference ;)"
Hehehehe I knew someone had to get that. For those of you who are not only chicken keepers, but also gamer nerds, Chocobos are big, ostrich-like (but cuter) birds which are featured in Final Fantasy video games. You race...
Hey now, since I'll Have Another is out of the running for the Triple Crown, I might just be motivated to enter one of my Game Bantams in the Kentucky Derby!!! with those legs, they may have a fighting chance :D
