Do you know what has just occurred to me?Foghorn Leghorn is a chicken the size of a man.
A CHICKEN
the size of
a MAN.
Look how he towers over his old nemesis, the barnyard dawg!
Of course, I was always aware of this on some level, but I have just now been confronted by the enormity of it (so to speak) for the first time.
A chicken the size of a fecking man, indeed! And we show this nonsense to our children? It's the stuff nightmares are made of.
(I don't know why I felt compelled to post this. I'll be quiet now. *takes more cold-&-flu medication*)
you know what I'm thinking?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking: that's a whole lot of fried chicken.
That's a fucking awesome roast.
You could do some serious turducken with that. you could have a whole coop of turducken inside him.
mmm...
Yeah, it's just making me hungry. I don't think Foghorn would last five minutes on a farm. Truly feast-worthy.
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe you guys are right..
ReplyDeleteWe could perhaps stuff him with a Little Black Duck and a Wascally Wabbit... mmm.
This post made me think about how much I loved Chicken Boo on "Animaniacs".
ReplyDeleteHe was six foot chicken, a sort of spoof to Foghorn, that was always in disguise and living as a human (but acting like a chicken) until some mishap or other caused his disguise to come off and another character to scream out something like "That's not a doctor! That's a chicken!"
At which point he'd be lynched out of town.
An allegory for the closet?
I think my favourite was when he was in disguise as Boo-regarde, the finest Confederate general to ever have lived.
