You people realize there is no such thing as a “Cornish Game Hen”, don’t you? They’re actually baby (young) chickens. However, marketing people quickly realized that the public might not take to eating “baby chickens”, so in a burst of genius, came up with the “Cornish Game Hen” idea. No one minds eating a Cornish Game Hen (except, of course, non-meat eaters). I just had two the “manly” way, on my BBQ rotisserie, of course (please, this is not an anti-gay slur - just a response to Dean’s statement).
According to this, Cornish Game Hens are specially bred small chickens–not a baby chicken, but a miniature breed–crossbred from Cornish hens, among others. Hence the name.
“The U.S. Department of Agriculture describes the Rock Cornish game hen or Cornish game hen as a young immature chicken (usually 5 to 6 weeks of age), weighing not more than 2 pounds ready-to-cook weight, which was prepared from the progeny of a Cornish chicken crossed with another breed of chicken.”
I just prefer the term “baby chicken” to “immature”.

She’ll probably show up with her boyfriend Frank. When are you going to wake up?

If Dean thinks it’s gay, it’s got to be okay. But it’s going to be awhile before Frank finally wakes up to the woman he should be with.

Probably wishful thinking on my part, but maybe Jen and Roger will meet each other at the picnic.
They deserve each other.

It might sound gay to Dean but guess who’s going to have the dessert with Jen ? He truly is a filthy swine

Actually, BPM, you might have seen little chickens, but you didn’t see Cornish Game Hens…
