Urgent: let's protest RNC and Bush, help needed (chicken suit related)

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-01-2004, 01:54 PM

So, after much searching, I've located a chicken suit. Problem is, it's $130 (no rental0, and I can't see what use I'd have for it after tomorrow. BUT, if three or four of us were to go in on it, then it could be shipped around to wherever Bush (or Cheney, I guess) is appearing where there are maggots. I would be very happy to put in for part of the suit and help ship it around for maggot chicken suit related protest purposes. Should come in real handy when Bush starts trying to duck the debates.
C'mon, guys, let's do this! The suit is primo.

will it fit my 6'4" frame? and are the feet removable so i can ski in it at the summit?

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-01-2004, 02:02 PM

If we get it, I guarantee someone will be skiing in it at the summit. And elsewhere, no doubt. The perfect getaway outfit for ducking ropes.
I don't know if it'll fit you, but I bet it would--you'd just look like a skinny chicken.

I thought it was a chicken suit.

Anyway, I'm in.

Don't have a lot of cash right now, Dex, but I'll throw in $15! A harassing chicken following Bush all over the country would be deliciously creepy!

**Keoni** · 09-01-2004, 02:53 PM

Crotchless?

**1080Rider** · 09-01-2004, 03:12 PM

So you'll send it to me when Kerry's in town?

**mr_gyptian** · 09-01-2004, 03:15 PM

You live in Idaho, don't you? I'm sure Kerry's pretty much written Idaho off at this point.

I do think a giant chicken following Bush around is hilarious, though!

**Stu Gotz** · 09-01-2004, 03:50 PM

Put me down for one crisp Andrew Jackson.

PM me your address and I will send it to you ASAP.

Chicken Man!

I don't know where 1080 lives, but I live in literally the only democratic county in the whole state...home to Kerry and Teresa's second house.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-01-2004, 04:24 PM

OK, I'm headed back downtown to make the purchase in operation funky chicken.
Power to the powdermaggots!
Who's get next? I need to get Bush's schedule.

**iceman** · 09-01-2004, 04:45 PM

I'm in for some cash money.

A large sandwich sign saying something like "Chickenhawk?" would also be a nice touch.

**Mcwop** · 09-01-2004, 04:47 PM

Is this you Dex?

Subservient Chicken - takes a few seconds to load.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-01-2004, 05:40 PM

OK, got the suit, the thing rules. Mrs. Rutecki is making the sign--should it read 'AWOL George' or 'AWOL Bush' (I guess George is better...)? If any of you who wanted in on this know that you'll be able to show up where Bush is in the next few weeks, lemme know so I can send this crazy thing to you.
I'll PM those who are interested.

**skiphant** · 09-01-2004, 08:36 PM

Just wondering if you guys saw moores newest letter to Bush.. one of his best I think..

"First of all, thank you for pointing out to all of us that Mr. Kerry was never struck by a BULLET. It was only SHRAPNEL that entered his body! I did not know that! Hell, what's the big deal about a bunch of large, sharp, metal shards ripping open your flesh? That happens to all of us! In my opinion, if you want a purple heart, you'd better be hit with a bullet -- with your name on it!"

Whole letter is on his website i'm sure, gotta love it.

Hell, I'll help sponsor the chicken. PM me your PayPal or what have you.

When you find yourself in danger, When you're threatened by a stranger, When it looks like you will take a lickin', (buk, buk, buk, buk) There is someone waiting, Who will hurry up and rescue you, just Caaallllllllll for...

I was thinking "Bantam Rooster" or "Bantam Cock" but "Chickenhawk" sums up the entire administation with a touch of verbal irony.

This could snowball into great fun. I don't suppose W will be in northern CO any time soon?

**Oopsie Daisy** · 09-01-2004, 08:53 PM

"Chickenhawk" on one side, "Birdbrain" on the other?

I like "AWOL George" for what it's worth.

**Tippster** · 09-01-2004, 09:46 PM

See, I told you the collective would support this! The pretzel thingy would have died on the vine, however.

Hey, I'm not working until 1:00 tomorrow. Ping me and I'll come out and take your picture!

**Droopy** · 09-01-2004, 10:17 PM

I live 30 min from DC how long before i get the S.S. on my ass if i chain myself to the Whitehouse fence with a chicken suit and a sign that says "AWOL Goerge"

I give it 2 min. but it might take a little while to get the chains off, just long enough to have the local media snap some shots of the chicken man.
