Greatest Hit #1: 12.19.00 - What are you...Chicken?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I first compiled this list in the fall of 1999. In the course of going over some old e-mail, I thought it was worthwhile to send it out again to people whose e-mail addresses I didn't know at that time.

It was initially inspired by the early research/writing stages of my forthcoming book _Chicken Soup for the Cynical Soul_, which I am coauthoring with one Richard Brinkmann, one of my colleagues from my Habitat for Humanity days. The lion's share of the items were composed on a porch in Gainesville, Florida in a dialogue between Andy Vranic (a fellow Commodore) and me, shortly before its initial compilation. There were subsequent additions provided by John Dugan (1) and Zac Willette (2). I do not claim that these are necessarily groundbreaking, but I thought they were amusing enough to compile them again and pass them on for your enjoyment.

I hope you do enjoy them and that you don't contract salmonella or anything. Until next time, I remain

As fowl as ever,
Eq
