He survived his beheading and lived for 18 months taking food and water dropped down his exposed throat. The town of Fruita has an annual festival celebrating its famous fowl.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077791761104576436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-34440560891871113912009-02-12T15:23:00.000-05:002009-02-12T15:23:00.000-05:00I love the title, but the query makes the book sou...I love the title, but the query makes the book sound like stream of consciousness blathering, when I suspect it might be extremely funny a la Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocolypse by Christopher Moore (I think).writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-46107618502815652802009-02-12T14:34:00.000-05:002009-02-12T14:34:00.000-05:00Did the chicken write this?
