Like this hasn't happened to everybody at least once...

Brown — who has now been Tasered at least five times in three separate incidents...
He's immune. Like that guy with the zapped penis.
I see a trend here....

Didn't Herbert Hoover promise us a Chicken in Every Trunk?
Posted by: 9 | September 20, 2007 at 10:32 AM
at least he wasn't choking the chicken in his trunks...
Tasered five times? He must get a jolt out of that...

Lug wrench, spare tire, flares, oz, chicken.

oz??? is Dorothy in there, too, rascal?

Where the hell was the chicken supposed to ride, I ask you?

Sounds like those cops got a true pullet surprise.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | September 20, 2007 at 10:46 AM
My version of the article says Brown told the officers he got the fowl from a local fast food restaurant, police have said.
Was it fried? Because obviously Mr. Brown was, several times.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 20, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Whoops - the said article.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 20, 2007 at 10:53 AM
I'm thinkin' it was a santeria ritual gone terribly wrong...
If that had happened in Miami, there would have been no mention of the live chicken. No big whoop around here.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 11:02 AM
I am outraged that they didn't charge him with chicken trafficking as well.
Posted by: PETA | September 20, 2007 at 11:05 AM
His wife: Why couldn't you just let the g.d. chicken cross the g.d. road by itself, ya stupid f*ck??!!
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 11:07 AM

9, Nope. I think it was J. Edgar Hoover who caught with his trunk in live chicken.

"The officer, who was in contact with Brown due to the fight, was jolted by one of the Taser deployments."
Why do I get a vision of Barney Fife and Goober practicing?
Posted by: a different dave | September 20, 2007 at 11:17 AM
I thought it was Bill Clinton trying to park it in every garage.
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 11:17 AM
They shoulda tased the chicken, too.
They coulda had lunch after whippin' the dumb@ss.
That works up an appetite.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 11:23 AM
Good thinkin', blurk. And then, after lunch, stop for donuts!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 11:30 AM
OT: Hi all! I heard about the blog when Dave gave an interview on the local publc radio station. I'd like to be able to join you guys from time to time when work permits (and even when it doesn't).
Nice to meet you all..err...y'all(since I'm in Texas).

Posted by: ellie | September 20, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Hey ellie!!
Welcome to the madness!! I've seen your posts around that last few days.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 11:33 AM
Sioux, we got company.
Mind your manners.
Welcome, ellie.
Even if ya are in Texas.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 11:36 AM
Are you Ellie May Clampett? (Please oh please oh please...)
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 11:37 AM
*Flaps in for just a bit*
*Snork* @ Siouxie's donuts!
From one Texan to another, welcome, ellie! The bloggang is more fun than a trunkful of tasered chickens!
Posted by: Just Ducky | September 20, 2007 at 11:38 AM
He said the drugs belonged to the chicken. He kept the bird in the trunk in case he ever ran afowl of the law.

Slightly OT: When onions are outlawed, only criminals will have onions .
Posted by: a different dave | September 20, 2007 at 11:44 AM
So Dave's not the only one with a pullet surprise.
Coke-a-doodle-doo.
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 11:45 AM
That rapscallion!
Posted by: Just Ducky | September 20, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Chicken and cocaine...whatever happened to mashed potatoes?
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Oops..so sorry. I'll behave.
Police said they don't know why the man had a chicken in his trunk. The animal was taken to the Sheboygan County Humane Society.
Seems like the cops are keeping abreast of the situation.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 11:52 AM
ok..so that's not really a chicken, it's a turkey...but same difference.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Thank you all for the warm welcome!
Yes, I am IN Texas, but I am actually FROM Ohio. Not sure which is worse.
And no, I'm not Elllie May Clampett, but I look more like her than I do Granny. And no accent either, which is good because that would be harder for me to type.
Posted by: Ellie NOT May Clampett | September 20, 2007 at 11:54 AM
Honorary FIRST *snork* @ Ellie for typing w/o an accent!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 12:01 PM
...but there are fewer letters on the hillbilly typewriter, aren't there?
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Not sure about the typewriter, but I know the palmpilot is a bit simpler.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 12:09 PM
No letters, SW. Just pictures.
Posted by: Just Ducky | September 20, 2007 at 12:10 PM
There's nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
And I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Exactly, Ducky. And mostly pictures of Hooters waitresses and farm animals. Very frustrating.
Posted by: ellie | September 20, 2007 at 12:23 PM
Partners in crime? "Dude, it was the chicken."
Posted by: SippiFoxHntr | September 20, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Maybe he was a taser-manian devil.
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Ellie (not Mae), I guess you'd have to be from Mississippi to think Texas was upscale (embarrassed grin)
Posted by: SippiFoxHntr | September 20, 2007 at 12:26 PM
but I know the palmpilot is a bit simpler.
*SNORK*
Exactly! Will stick with a regular keyboard for now.
Posted by: ellie | September 20, 2007 at 12:27 PM
"Hey, buddy, is that a taser in yer pocket or are you just hap-"
ZAPPPPPP!
"YEOW!!"

Electrical banana...bound to be the very next craze
Electrical banana...givin' you a jolt and a tase
Posted by: SW | September 20, 2007 at 12:32 PM
For Annie, since it's one of her favorite songs:
Stashing cocaine in my cigs; driving crazed
Punching out officers till I get tased
Putting a live chicken inside my trunk
These are the things that I do when I’m drunk…

Attacked By Onions - GNFARB
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 20, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Golly, JD, thanks!
I think....is that what I do during those blackouts? That would explain a lot.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 12:53 PM
"Oooh baby, what's all that junk you got in dat trunk?"
"C'mon over here an find out."
"Well, show me, baby..."
*bok bok bok bok bokok!*
"Shhheeeeeeeeet, woman!"
Posted by: Wench Dunkin' Punkin o' Poo | September 20, 2007 at 01:04 PM
LOL Ducky!! very very good!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 01:05 PM
I know this is yesterday's topic, but getting back to Talk Like a Pirate Day, I must share this little anecdote that happened at work. I work part time as a cashier, so I see moms with their little ones in tow all day long. But yesterday, a young mother in my line had her little blonde, blue-eyed, preschool-aged daughter sitting in the shopping cart. Suddenly, the little girl shouted out, "Ahoy Land!" I laughed and asked her if she knew it was national Talk Like a Pirate Day. Of course, I was joking (sort of), but I couldn't resist asking the girl to try saying "Land Ho!" At this point, the mother had a strange expression of confusion on her face, so I decided to let the whole issue drop.
Posted by: whatsinaname | September 20, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Perhaps he was planning to snort the cocaine and smoke the chicken.

Cop:Sir, what's that chicken doing in your trunk?
Doofus:Why, it's drivin' me nuts.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 02:13 PM
Welcome, ellie. And hey, DPC is a BFS fan too. TDC!
(Parenthetical translation for ellie: That was The Dread Pirate Chris quoting a Bowling For Soup song, "Come Back To Texas", which I declared to be Too Damn Cool.) (The song and the band, that is. The geography, not so much.)
For the record, here's my favorite fictional hottie named Ellie.

Doofus: I think the breast stroke.

For the record, Dread Pirate Chris, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is nowhere near Louisville Kentucky, and you do not pass it on the way to Kentucky from New York``
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | September 20, 2007 at 02:34 PM
Welcome, ellie!
Be wary of SW aka Stevie. I really can't say anymore at this point.
Posted by: Eleanor | September 20, 2007 at 02:51 PM
I think he used the chicken as a taster when he bought the coke, and stuck it in the trunk while he waited to see if it lived.
Posted by: Eleanor | September 20, 2007 at 02:53 PM
WHO LET HER OUT??!!
