Combat Chicken
We bought a baking hen this weekend. Mike slow cooked it on the rotisserie Saturday night. It was so tough you could barely cut it with a knife. So he boiled it all Sunday afternoon in a stew....still absolutely inedible.
We decided it was an escapee from a secret government project that had genetically modified chicken genes with Kevlar to create a bulletproof chicken that could blow up terrorist cells with its egg bombs....a project that was hinted at in a coded message "Beware the hens from hell" found in Larry McMurty's Texasville.
Sssshh! I think I hear black helicopters.
Gotta go.

I was disappointed that none of McMurtry's brilliant books made the "most influential" list posted on Right Wing News a few weeks ago. Now I see that they are probably noted on the "influential beyond even listing" list.

Don't mess with "Thunderchicken," one bad-assed boid. We breed 'em in Jersey to kick a chickenhawk's ass.

Kenneth, I love McMurtry's books. The scene towards the end of Texasville with the eggs & the "hens from hell" made me laugh so hard I 'bout wet my pants. I know preachers like the Reverend.
Shelley, I've seen rubber chickens that were more tender. It was unreal.
Jim, I thought about you last night. Guy came through my line said he'd moved here from Jersey 10 yrs. ago & had never regretted it. I figure if you ever get down here & find out what a real tomato tastes like, you'd never leave.
:-)

They must have a similar project going on with pigs since the same thing happened with some pork chops the other night.
