Conundrum

Chickens



Last year, I didn't make any New Year's resolutions. Subsequently, I stepped in some deep doodie. Coincidence? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I might have been a dumb cluck. To be on the safe side, I'm thinking maybe I'd better make some this year. Thing is, I can't think of any. I don't have any bad habits I need to break. I have no major character flaws I need to correct; well, not that many. I'm sure there are those who think it might behoove me to stop muttering curses under my breath, but I disagree. I never mutter at the innocent. Mumbling curses has no discernible effect on the cursees, anyway. Maybe I should take up Voodoo, but I've heard that involves live chickens. I don't mind admitting that I'm slightly scared of angry, squawking chickens. It's a conundrum. I ought to think up some Resolutions. Any suggestions?

Resolved. I promise to start the year 2013 on 1/1/2013.


That doesn't obligate you much.

You don't need a live chicken!!
I have a Chicken Foot I can lend you...:-)
Now that doesn't mean that I can be part of any Voodoo Curses OK?

Serena said...

I don't know, Mr. G-man. Aren't chicken feet kind of -- scary?:)

I can't even think up any resolutions for me, let alone for anyone else, Serena! ;)

And as for the muttering curses under your breath...cut that out! Say them out loud! I do! It helps ease the tension and anger...and there's a lot on our news bulletins these days that makes me angry! Our news Down Under, anyway...with a bit of help from elsewhere! ;)

I'm having chicken for lunch...thanks! lol

I'd try the cursing out loud, Lee, if I didn't think "they'd" cart me away. LOL. I'm not a bit scared of chicken on a lunch plate. I much prefer them that way.:)

Last year, I resolved to have no resolutions. Nothing overly good or bad has thus far happened this year, save for whatever's coming 12-21-12 (and I already addressed the pros and cons of that, and will again on 12-17-12).

So...resolve to overcome your fear of chickens by roasting one a month. Whether you use rotissere, grill, oven, fried, or Dean Martin-style, it will overcome your chicken of chickens, though some might cluck 'fowl'...

Oh, not to worry, Skunk -- I have no fear of fried, roasted, baked, boiled, or barbecued chickens. 12/21 could get interesting; looking forward to your take on it.;)
