http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatnick I never heard of it either, and I must be around the same age Product of the late 60's.

Wow, can't believe no one has heard of beatnicks. It was the early sixties, they even had a "dress code" and look about them, goaties, dark glasses all the time, their own dialect, the beginning of pot smoking, the term Pad, (apartment) originates from then. Guess I'm older than I thought. Wish I could tell you more but I was around ten at the time and had one cousin right into it. He was definetly the black sheep of the family. Anyways this really has nothing to do with chickens, sorry I got everyone going.
