ANOTHER GREAT THING ABOUT EUROPE
Instead of buying your rubber chickens from a sterile chain store, you buy them fresh from street vendors.

I'd rather have the sausages on a rope. They have such cheerful faces.

Jazzzz - surprise! ;)
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Oooooh! My rubber chicken has been begging me for a rubber rooster! Dave, wouldya mind picking one up for me? (You know I'm good for it.)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 06, 2009 at 03:37 PM
Are those hot dogs kosher?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Psssstttt, to all bloglits, the ones on the right look like roosters, and I think it best we not tell Siouxie that they have rubber
coc, um, roosters in EuropePosted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 03:39 PM
Those sausages certainly look well qualified to work on the Japanese Railroad.
Posted by: Elon | July 06, 2009 at 03:41 PM
Wow, I don't think I've ever had a "simul-post" with Punkin before...
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 03:42 PM
They look "pre-choked"....
Posted by: Allen at Division | July 06, 2009 at 03:44 PM
If they could be used in plumbing, I suppose it would be the "Roto-Rooter Rubber Rooster," but I digress...
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 03:45 PM
Siouxie, generally people don't consider rubber particularly tasty, but I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be kosher.
Posted by: Elon | July 06, 2009 at 03:45 PM
hey Diva.... I'm still here, mostly blurking to make sure everyone is smiling
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 06, 2009 at 03:50 PM
I think the "sausage on a rope" were designed by Benoit.
Annie told me
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 06, 2009 at 03:53 PM
Those Sausages-on-a-Rope look like an excellent dog toy.
Posted by: Guin | July 06, 2009 at 03:54 PM
oooh, ROOSters. i thought it said Roasters. pardon me. that's very different. never mind.
Posted by: queensbee | July 06, 2009 at 03:57 PM
Prophylactic poultry pleasures passionate people.
Posted by: Texgal | July 06, 2009 at 03:58 PM
Guin is right. I bet Lucy would LOVE that. Or the Rubber Reindeer.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 04:05 PM
*snorks* at TexGal!!! Didn't the "Prophylactic Poultry" open for Iron Maiden in '86???
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 04:14 PM
yes the rubber hot-dogs-on-a-rope are a dog toy. i was told so by arctic al who gave me that very toy as a gift when i met him in niagara falls last august.* they now hang as a decoration in my bathroom.
*nttawwt.
Posted by: mudstuffin | July 06, 2009 at 04:17 PM
Beautiful, Tex!! :)
How's life in your neck o' the woods, Jazzzz? Haven't seen you for ages. :) Hope you're well!
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 04:23 PM
frodo - Sorry, you were about 2 minutes late...NTTAWWT
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 06, 2009 at 04:27 PM
Siouxie, I think you'll find on closer inspection that the reindeer is in fact a kangaroo. (Note the cheek bandage, the boxing glove, and that the apparent antlers aren't actually attached to the head.)
Posted by: KJP | July 06, 2009 at 04:35 PM
Yes, Punkin', but my server and the bots have their (not there) way... However, isn't it better than me being 2 minutes early?
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 04:37 PM
Hey, there's a boxing kangaroo in there, and a demented looking frog and more. The sausages on a rope DO look very happy. Are they hung (oops!!) next to something special?
Posted by: Aussiegirl | July 06, 2009 at 04:37 PM
Holy cow (er, chicken). Looks like The Blog found the Humor Columnist Mother Lode.
Posted by: Renee (the First) | July 06, 2009 at 04:39 PM
Our university mascot is the Kangaroo. I need that, Dave.
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 04:54 PM
Ah yes. It's a kangaroo. Thanks for pointing that out, KJP. A reindeer would have been WAY out of season.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 04:57 PM
Dave, if you're taking orders...I'd like one of them rubber piglets.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 05:01 PM
Good Diva. We are (as always) short staffed. Well, not ME personally. *ahem*
Been taking a lot of call. No shortage of sick folks, unfortunately.
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 06, 2009 at 05:06 PM
ohhhhhhhhhh Jazzzzzzzzzzie!! LOL
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 05:16 PM
ohhhhhhhhhh Jazzzzzzzzzzie!! LOL
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 05:16 PM
by the bye, Punkin'... I'm just here to have fun, and I find flirtation fun... If I have offended you in any way, you have my humblest apologies... I'm just here to have fun. I sorta' figured, if you can't flirt on Dave's blog, where CAN you flirt? But if I was out of line, I'm dearly sorry.
Don't know if that was your implication, but I'm just a bit raw right now because of some personal things...
Hope you and I are still blog-buds!!!
"frodo"
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 05:21 PM
Jazzzzie, I'm quite sure about that. ;)
Also sure about the plethora of patients. Hey - did I just coin a collective noun?
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 05:26 PM
*smooch* sweet Siouxie..
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 06, 2009 at 05:26 PM
Diva, I think that was part of an Agnew-ism:
A pusillanimous, pussyfooting plethora of pedantic, peripatetic patients
Posted by: Snarky Comment | July 06, 2009 at 05:31 PM
So do the Spaniards come long distances on rickety buses with their rubber crates of rubber chickens stowed above them? Riding hour after hour on holed and distressed roads, nuturing the hope that someone like Dave will buy them out in the first ten minutes of market day.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 06, 2009 at 05:32 PM
*smooooooooooooch* backatcha, Jazzzzzzzie!
Cheesie, you just know Dave bought Sophie her own rubber chicken.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 06, 2009 at 05:43 PM
Pogo, that was lovely. *wipes a tear*
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 05:44 PM
This is turning out to be a very educational vacation. We now know that the native fauna of Spain includes rubber chickens (plucked and fully clothed), rubber kangaroos, rubber frogs, and rubber sausages-on-a-rope.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | July 06, 2009 at 05:49 PM
frodo - Being 2 minutes late leaves me kinda raw, too. IYKWIM :)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 06, 2009 at 05:52 PM
Dave bought all of those, last summer, fresh from the Chinese factory.
Posted by: CJrun | July 06, 2009 at 05:56 PM
Does Jazzzz need a nurse? I'm free.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 06, 2009 at 06:04 PM
Also did anybody else notice that the rubber chickens in the plaid bikini's have belly buttons? I didn't know chickens had belly buttons. I wouldn't mind having one of those chickens Dave.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 06, 2009 at 06:07 PM
Better two minutes than two weeks, Punkin, IYKWIM (AITYD). ;)
Posted by: Diva | July 06, 2009 at 06:11 PM
I wonder what Dave has against stores selling sterile chains.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 06, 2009 at 06:18 PM
You have good eyes, Cindy. I did not notice that, but it is indeed odd.
Posted by: Elon | July 06, 2009 at 06:26 PM
Are those sausages or kidney beans?
Posted by: Margaritaville | July 06, 2009 at 07:34 PM
Yawn... Those are the same rubber chickens you can find at Nieman Marcus.
Posted by: Clankazoid | July 06, 2009 at 07:46 PM
I need a rubber french poodle or german shepherd crap with a nice continental curl and chunky tapas rubber vomit load. Any of those in the eurojokemart?
Posted by: Loudmouth | July 06, 2009 at 08:26 PM
Loudmouth you don't NEED those things. You may WANT them but you don't need them. I think Mrs. Loudmouth would agree.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 06, 2009 at 08:44 PM
(winks at Punkin') Thanks, sweetie! Next time, bots notwithstanding... (g)
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 09:42 PM
Also, is that a rubber hula girl under the foot of the rightmost rubber chicken?
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2009 at 09:45 PM
*Snork* at Meanie.

Vivian some of us barely speak english. Maybe you should try someone else? 到了一个新的博客。
Posted by: nursecindy | July 07, 2009 at 01:10 AM
tsk, tsk, nursecindy...I tried to translate your Chinese verbiage, and it said something like "next time use your spellchinker." I certainly hope you didn't mean to say that.
Not sure how we'd contact Viv anyway, without contact info.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 07, 2009 at 01:48 AM
But are they free range rubber chickens?
Posted by: ScottMGS | July 07, 2009 at 02:04 AM
Annie it was supposed to say, "Have a nice day." At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.I'm waiting for Vivian to say she love us for long,long time.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 07, 2009 at 02:07 AM
I think the blog ate one of my comments. I meant to say have a nice day. I'm sure she love us for long time also.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 07, 2009 at 02:15 AM
Of course the blog shows the original one after I write it again.
