Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

Bobby, with friends like that, who needs enemies! Hospitality is becoming a lost art!

Bobby, that record player is sweet. Plus, I may young(ish) but I know that a lot of music these days requires little more than knowledge of chords. Skills are not required. I can appreciate some old LPs.

Welcome Back Hennible .


I wish we could have a new "dumb thing" people say about our poultry everyday, but there is not a lot of original thought amongst the dumb and stupid. Without an upcoming election they do not go out and gather to think up dumb things to say, most are in Washington right now.

That said, I feel for your new years tribulation! Nothing is worse than visiting a "sports friend" and have them glued to the TV and you forced to sit there and watch. Golfers are the worst, Why would anyone sit inside and watch grass grow on a TV?

Normally I get stuck in these things because they are spouses of my wife's friends and I am forced to go visit with her, she will be off doing whatever it is women do when they gather, while I am forced to visit the sports nut and act interested in it. It is inevitable that I will fall asleep during these events. So after a day of living H-E- double hockey sticks, I catch it again on the way home from my wife, "How could you fall asleep while visiting", " Do you know how rude that was?"....



sigh..... now my day is ruined as I mentally prepare for the upcoming super bowl and listen to more "news" about the under inflated football, like I care....sighhhhhhhhh

P.S.



I get back at these sports nuts by forcing them to visit and talk about my chickens, I can actually see their eyes glaze over when I mention the word chicken.

That's realm funny. When i heard the super bowl was around the corner I thought to myself, "great, all the jocks at work are going to get worse before they get better, and then it'll be basketball again". Can't win...

I feel bad I seem to have started a whom page of anti-sports talk on here. I keep googling dumb things people say about chickens so I can help guide tho back to topic, but all my results are from this thread

<sigh> I guess I'm strange. I do like football. I have for years. Even when Ken isn't home, I'll watch when my teams are playing. My
9 year old granddaughter Katie loves football. She can rattle off the names of NFL/AFC teams like some kids recited the alphabet. She's a Saints' fan, and when they're playing she and her dad wear their Saints' jerseys. I also like baseball - but not enough to watch it on TV. The one sport I detest is basketball - bunch of guys in shiny shorts dribbling on the floor doesn't do it for me.

Well I like that your family all enjoy it, and it isn't just one person ignoring everyone. That's different in my opinion.

I enjoy watching the guys in shiny shorts dribbling and drooling on the floor, I find this to be my only source of entertainment when I have been forced to endure a sportsbar. I find it amazing the more they drink the more they dribble and drool, the louder they get and the more they dribble, it is a vicious circle.

Shiny shiny shorts are not a requirement for me, I enjoy watching them dribble and drool in a 3 piece suit too, makes my life seem less pathetic.

Oh, you are so right! Ignoring people for sports, or electronic devices for that matter, just smacks of "It's all about what I want!"

I remember having two friends over for a home cooked meal once and they both stared at their smart phones silently the whom time.
