"The chicken should not try to cross the road, that is impossible, in stead the chicken must try to realize the truth, that there is no road, and thus no sides of it be on, you simply must change where you are and not worry about the road"
or sort of a parody of no one, or a parodie of that character gone even more wrong then the one I just did, or simply the wisdom of the chicken:
"The chicken must accept that the road is inmaterial, when the chicken realizes that it is trying to get to it's own internal place of peace then it will find itself on the side of road where it is truly meant to be"

Kama, that was the funniest parody in this thread.
And for the record, Ryuko didn't parody me, Ralphie did! So, yes, it would count, but it didn't happen. Ha! Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

Lalo: The chicken crossed the road because it was banned for posting a picture in a public domain. I suggest you read up on the subject before you post anymore about the chicken.
Umm, will I get in trouble for this? space opera

Thread originator: I was on my way to work this morning, and a chicken crossed the road in front of me. It wasn't a big deal, but it got me thinking. So what do you guys think about chickens crossing roads? Is it okay? I guess every chicken has a right to cross if it wants to, but... why? I don't know where I stand on this yet. What do you think?
Poster #2: That subservient chicken thing was hilarious. I can't believe it was for real.
Poster #3: I know they have a right to do what they want, but I hit a chicken once and it was really hard to get over. I'm still afraid I'll hit a chicken every time I'm on the road.
Poster #4: (((poster #3)))
Poster #5: Chickens suck
Poster #3: Thanks. It's not that big of a deal
Poster #6: There's an article somewhere, I'll find it and get a link, with stats on chickens that cross roads. Something like 20 percent of them die before the age of 2. I figure its their own fault, if they're going to cross roads, they need to accept the consequences.
Very, insightful, poster #5.
Poster #5: -|-
Poster #7: If you can't link to the stats, you shouldn't post them at all. There's all kinds of misleading info out there hiding behind the word "Statistic"

The wise chicken is told about the Road, and crosses it. The average chicken is told about the Road and searches for it. The foolish chicken is told about the Road and laughs at it. If it were not for laughter, there would be no Road.
How could it be otherwise?

I thought it might be fun to bring this up to the top. We have a fairly different crop of people now than we did when this thread was active.
So, I'll start a new round:
Irami I was underwhelmed by the chicken. In the end he was just some bird. A good story has a moralizing influence--I don't want to read about some chicken who scratches around in the dirt for bugs and then just walks across the road. Even if that's what most chickens are doing, I don't want to read about it.
[Edit--text of one of Irami's ivory tower posts, inadvertently included in the message, deleted]

I don't think it's fair to just quote the subject, Noemon. That said, you're on the right track.

Wha...but...but I didn't. Seriously. I had a bunch of text from various posts of this flavor pasted into the composition pane or whatever you call it that I was using for reference, but one of those passages somehow made it into the posted message, and about 90% of my intended post seems to have vanished. I'd be tempted to chalk it up to technical difficulties, but I'm afraid that, given the amount of sleep I got last night and the day I had today, user error is more likely.
Hell. What I had was pretty funny too.

Noemon: Latest science news: Chicken crosses the road!
Scientists have determined a way to genetically enhance the chicken, to enable it to cross the road without any problems. A chicken who made it to the other side was examined, and found to have sores on its feet from the novelty of the long distance. With time, however, the evolutionary cycle will determine that ambitious chickens with road-crossing intentions will be able to cross the road AND maintain healthy foot conditions.

Raia-- I was thinking this morning about how I would parody myself, and was drawing a blank. You hit it though!
