Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for June 24, 2011

Good morning, Everybody…….The Birdbrain on the left has something on the bill of his cap……anyone know what it is?

And, the batter has a sketch on his mid section on the left side that looks like a face, and his upper right arm has a great face too.

ML, I think you need to get a share of Lew’s meds!

I thought that steroids decreased the size of your coq. The French spelling was the only way I could think of to avoid getting flagged.

That’s a Poultry Excuse.

That batter looks as big as Boog Powell.

Well, steroids would certainly explain how one gets the pterodactyl-sized chicken em, white meats down at Kelley’s Kountry Kooking. Chicken Powell, you don’t know how lucky you are they haven’t found you yet.

Now THOSE are ‘jumbo chicken wings’ … just pluck em, batter em, deep fry em, and dip em in a medium BBQ sauce.

Fowl balls!

Yeah, but he got kicked off the Foster Farm team for using them.

Glad I have a local source for poultry with none- and fed with normal veg foods too.

What’s the penalty for barbequeing the runner on second?

ML … I do see the face on the left side of the batter, just below his hands. It’s interesting, kind of like a whisper that the wind is blowing away. Or maybe it is a look of fear that the batter will miss and the ball will hit him. Good eye on your part.

As long as it’s legal.

I think I can kinda see everything ML saw and a face on the other side of the batter’s midsection but unless you look really hard at a magnified image, they’re just chicken scratches.

I’m with MT Lady—maybe Lewreader has some spare meds for us. . . ..I can see how steroids would let a chicken grow bigger—but just tell me how they get chickens that have a siz or a dozen drumsticks, and no gizzards.

I thought growth hormones could only be used in beef, not poultry or pork?

Guinnevere

Babe Ruth was built like that and he didn’t use steroids…. just beer.

The face on the right side of the batters shirt is great. It takes up the entire area to the right of the buttons, on the batters right (left as we look at it). The eyes are at the seam between the sleeve and the shoulder with one eye under the chicken’s beak and the other near the inside of his elbow. The nose is done in semi profile and uses the large bulge that swirls around toward the buttons with a black spot at the end of the nose. Under the nose is the mouth. No upper lip and the lower lip is shaded in. The mouth has a slight smile. Chickens love handle forms the strong chin.

There are faces in all of the areas colored blue, plus the dirt has some faces. (Thanks, Thom! :D)

Chicken Boo finally hit the big-time. :-)
