Chicken Scratch

Yeeeee-Haaaaaw!!!!

Howdy, humans!

Charlie here, from the midway of the 2008 Calgary Stampede. Getting’ my cowboy on!!

Buk-AAAAWK!!!!

Man, each year this Stampede gets tuffer and tuffer to survive. Thanks Cornelius, for lookin’ after the mini-squawkers again. Daddy needs his rodeo!

Buk-AAAAWK!!!!

So, last night I wandered the faigrounds, and ran into summa my usual difficulties. A group of thugs in T-shirts wouldn’t let me into see my old buddy Kid Rock, which clucked me off big-time. I woulda pecked at his feet, but those cowboy boot is hard ta penetrate!

Buk-AAAAWK!!!!

So, I went on a few rides instead. Nuthin’ says fun like hurtlin’ thru the air on a flimsy pair of chains and an old barstool. Just like the cowboys of old musta done it! I hadda puke four times at least. My equal’s librium is still tryin’ ta recover….

Buk-AAAAWK!!!

Next to the rides, the food is the best! This year – pizza on a stick ( fer cluckin’ real!!), deep-fried Coke (the sody-pop, not the nose candy…), and my bee-loved mini-donuts. The lineup was cluckin’ nuts fer them donuts, but that’s where it helps to be under a foot tall. I was able to scurry through the crowd a mammals, and boogie right upta the fronta the line! Hoo-Ha!!

Buk-AAAAWK!!!!

I even tried to win a prize, but them games is rigged. No pluckin’ way wuz I gonna spend eighty bucks to win a stuffed lion! I just stole one when another human came off a ride, leaned over a fence, and wood-chucked all over the grass! She didn’t even miss it!

Yee--Haw!!!

Cluck for now!!!!!
