But is that rooster still alive?
 
Can't say that I have been terrorized by chickens, the worst has been a goose snaking its neck and hissing.

How does having chickens for eggs mean butchering it. Sure if it stops laying eggs and then is useless maybe


They live for 6 years, tops. But egg laying capability drops off sharply after 18 months. At which point the older, non layers, become dinner. Chickens are too stupid to become pets.

when  i was a kid we would go to my aunts house in atlanta.  the most fun we had was cllimbing a crabapple tree(talk about needle play!) and hiding up there watching the neighborhood and eating crabapples til we bout puked.

well, aunt mae hada neighbor, older lady with a buncha kids if memory serves, and as we sat our sweet innocent asses way up in the limbs of that crabapple tree one day, neighbor comes out and grabs a chicken outta the pen and proceeds to do a flingin motion, which i  ripped that chickens head off(it stayed in her hand) and the body went a flyin thru the air and then runnin around for a bit with blood squirtin outta the neck.

man, that was better than cuttin a snakes head off and sittin watchin it open and close its mouth for hours.......and the womans family got fried chicken dinner out of it!

the pics in my head.....so sorry ya cant see it heretic-lolol

sigh.....i shoulda taken one more toke.....

 Did it never occur to you that some of the people who don't "get" your analogies might know tons more than you do about a lot of things, and be capable of stumping you with a few? 



     Well of course, Kirata.  There are a great many things in this amazing world I don't know anything about, and many more where I have only the vaguest of notions.  That's one of the things I love about the internet.  A wealth of knowledge and information is just a couple of wrist movements and a click away.  I don't get all defensive about my ignorance.

     And "a chicken with it's head cut off" is hardly "my" analogy.  It wasn't until I actually witnessed the thing though that I came to understand what the expression actually described.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I had in mind the example you proposed here. And by the way, I agree that those people (referring back to your first post) were rude and ill-behaved.

When I was a kid--city kid, btw--I used to go stay with Granny & Grandpa just north of the city limits where they could have chickens.  Every now & again, while I was there, it was time to kill a chicken for chicken & dumplings, cuz by the time they're too old to lay eggs anymore, they're dang tough.  I used to go outside & help catch & kill the chicken & de-feather it, then carry it inside to Granny where we would pull the pin-feathers & clean it & boil the heck out of it.  I don't remember the chicken ever running around with its head cut off.  Grandpa was pretty strong & I do remember there being boiling water handy to make the de-feathering go quicker.  So perhaps what happened is that he would have a good grip on it & have it in that boiling water before the running around could ever start. 

I'm not sure that I needed to ever see that happen for me to understand the analogy though, no more than I would need to see a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs to get that one.  That's what an imagination is for, something that lots of people haven't been taught to develop, due to having been entertained since birth by TV & video games.  I taught myself how to read at the age of 3 & listened to the radio shows, so I have a pretty high functioning imagination.  YMMV



TheHeretic -> RE: These images are graphic and disturbing (3/20/2009 6:23:45 AM)

      That's true Linnaea, as long as people have the basic knowledge of cats and rocking chairs.  One of my favorite expressions is "busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest," and that is something I have never seen, either.

      If we are making the comparison to something real, though, isn't practical knowledge going to be better than imagination?

Then there is always "colder than a witches tit in a brass brassiere"

I've not met any witches, or seen a brass brassiere.

How about "so poor that we didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of" ?

edited to add another visual metaphor -
 
"He didn't know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground"



LaTigresse -> RE: These images are graphic and disturbing (3/20/2009 12:51:41 PM)

I had forgotten the "window to throw it out of" part.
