Comments on: Impatient, Verbose, Lazy and Weird C’est Moi! http://julesritter.com/2008/04/impatient-verbose-lazy-and-weird-cest-moi/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:50:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Martin http://julesritter.com/2008/04/impatient-verbose-lazy-and-weird-cest-moi/comment-page-1/#comment-192 Martin Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:17:28 +0000 http://julesritter.com/?p=343#comment-192 My pleasure! A brand is a special mark or identifying design owned by a rancher and used in registering and identifying his/her cattle and horses (and chickens ?). A branding iron is the handmade iron or steel tool that applies the mark to the poor animal - no anaesthetic here! The end with the owner's brand is pressed against the side of the animal after being heated to red hot in a fire in the corral. Or, in other words, OUCH ! My pleasure!

Branding chickens must surely result in protests from the Chicken Liberation Front (and ours wouldn't like it at all), as for branding Madonna ......

(wail). Well I can see that you two are partnering up. Okay no more boring bits about branding unless something really funny happens involving branding and a chicken, branding and Madonna or branding and a chicken and Madonna. Come to think of it Naked Chicken definitely needs a branding make-over she's only going one way fast looking like that. Thanks for making me laugh today it has been an 'orrible week watching the rain fall so bad that I have just eaten a pain au chocolat from the épicerie. Funnily enough on the way I passed the neighbours chickens who were today looking uncannily like Madonna post face lift ie., startled. But I thought you would be INTERESTED in my journey! (wail).

I had another look at the photo of the naked chicken and decided that aside from the macrobiotic food it must also have had a slice (or 2?) of Jules' sinful chocolate cake - have you seen the protrusion around its navel?? And the skin colour?? It's had more than one dive into the wine bottle! OOOh YES I agree – chickens and Madonna.
