Let the rotting begin

by Kathi D on June 16, 2008

If I were writing the assembly instructions for the Compost-Twin, I would make a little note at Step 25:

Be sure the holes for the threaded rods are precisely lined up before proceeding to Step 26, otherwise you will get all the way to the last step (Step 439) and you will throw a hissy fit and say Bad Words, and then you will disassemble everything back to Step 25, and go next door to borrow tools from your neighbor Bjorn (Not His Real Name) and exchange cross words with, say, your spouse of 37 years and one day (for example) and finally you will get it put back together only moments before you drop from heat exhaustion and hunger.

These chickens are Not Dead. They are sunbathing.

Now, look at this little house next to the Vegetable Palace. And then look at who is living there.

Rick says they are violet-green swallows. I suspect some chicken feathers have been used in that nest.

I still swear those chickens are Not Dead.

For starters, chickens don’t have skins that are uncovered to tan. Beaks don’t count. Secondly, the next time you intend to unearth aliens for the world, could you warn us, it threw up a little in my mouth.

You might want to nudge those chickens a little to see if they still move. I’m a little worried about them. Did you remember to feed and water them?

I threw up a little too!

I think they sunbathed a bit too long…..Not looking to lively I’m afraid. I didn’t throw up a little in my mouth because I’ve seen dead turkeys. . actually get killed. . . and then had to pluck them. YUCK!

Oooooooooo…I got a little (actually A LOT) worried looking at the “tanning” picture. Seriously, they’re not dead?

OK. Let’s get to the truth. You killed the chickens in the composter, then you plucked their little feathers out and stuck them in the birdhouse to hide your evil deed. Alright now, everbody to the library where we will question the butler.

LOL chickens faint dont they? Could they have fainted in the heat? Hope they’re up and clucking ;)

Love the little ones in the feather-nest… pretty creative I’d say!

I did not kill those chickens! They are alive, ALIVE I TELL YOU! I’m going to have to take some more photos, I can see that now.

Oh yeah. Real smart Kathi. I can see you now with your little forensics kit, painting a poor unsuspecting chicken to look like the deceased. All I can say is that I’m glad you’re not MY keeper!!! and I do need one.

Oh my chickens do that too-scares the you know what out of me every time I come upon them like that!

Lola June 16, 2008 at 9:31 pm

uuummmmmm…………………..DEAD!! I think the rotting has already begun!!!

Kathi, are you sure they aren’t dead? Cuz they sure do look it. Maybe you didn’t mean to sun-fry them, but they are looking a wee bit crispier than live chickens should…
