The_Rooster Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I can fly for almost 20 feet. The FAA can help with that: The chicken gun (also known as the chicken cannon, turkey gun, or rooster booster) has been around since 1972. It's used for the "chicken ingestion test," one of a series of stress tests required by the Federal Aviation Administration before a new jet engine design can be certified. The tests take place in a concrete building large enough to enclose an entire jet engine. With the engine operating at full speed, the cannon uses compressed air to shoot chicken carcasses into the turbine at 180 mph. (The Air Force is known to launch its poultry projectiles at 400 mph into F-16 canopies.) 20 feet is good enough for me, buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couloir Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I can drink a pint of beer faster than anyone. I'm very organized and tidy. But not in a cumpulsive annoying way. I make a fried chicken that is out of this world. Maybe someday I'll post the recipe. (No offense Rooster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall a story where the Canadians decided they had better test their jet canopies using the chicken gun like the Americans were doing. After smashing several canopies they were completely perplexed. Finally an American advisor said, "these chickes are frozen, you have to thaw them out first". yeah, look up chicken cannon on snopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I can drink a pint of beer faster than anyone. Umm, I doubt that!!!! A few years back when I was Seattle at Bumbershoot, I ended up at a party with mainly younger people there. They were doing beer bongs, being out of practice (10 years since I done one) I stepped and did a head to head beer bong races. They were damn slow. I could have done two or three in the time it took those kids to do one. I did put it on my list because it is not something I strive to be good at, I just am.

They have no clue. The key is to open up your gullet, and forget swallowing. Let gravity do the rest. I used to be MUCH better at it, but I think I can still hold my own. When you get back from Africa, we'll have fun at the next Pub Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a grand idea! In the meantime however, and with deference to our good friend The Rooster, I'm afraid, folks will need to PM me for the recipe.

rmncwrtr Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Rooster, I just set up our tents at my sister's farm for our annual family 4th campout. Unfortunately the best spot is a stone's throw away from my nephew's rooster Little Jerry. I offered him some polenta and grapes in the hopes of a quiet sunrise. Any other suggestions?

Little Jerry is pretty aggressive. So if he tries to fertilize you, it might be best to just let him finish. 8D Save me some grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
