It’s an age old question and I thought why not enlist a few famous people to help us with the answer.
So why did the chicken cross the road?
OPRAH says: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
Fair enough.
Let’s hope it’s a Mercedes, because they had the best car commercial… ever!
Watch it. I dare you not to smile…
SARAH PALIN says: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he’s a maverick!
DR SEUSS says: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.
True, but a little morbid.
BILL CLINTON says: I did not cross the road with that chicken.
Okay, okay. We get it.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY says: To die in the rain, alone.
Well, damn.
That’s depressing.
DONALD TRUMP says: We should build a wall so the chicken can’t cross the road.
Nice hair.
AL GORE says: I invented the chicken…. and the road.
Yeah…
Thanks for that.
ALBERT EINSTEIN says: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
And finally –
ARISTOTLE says: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
So there you have it.
And because I don’t want to break the trend of inserting a GOT reference into every single one of my posts till the final season is over….
(That looks more like an ostrich egg, but who am I to turn down free food?)
I love to comment on other people’s blogs and have them comment on mine.
(Yes…. Yes I can.)
For me, it’s all about connecting. And I’ve been doing it for over 14 years.
Finding a small tribe of like minded weirdos is comforting, and I enjoy it.
So while I’m relatively new here, and I realize WordPress is a large site with scores of people who try to profit from, or make a living out of it…. I’m constantly dumbfounded by the amount of shadow bloggers who inhabit this space.
They like my post, sometimes they follow me…. when I know damn well they’ve never read a single word I’ve written.
Do they even exist?
Example.
This person (?) has 418 followers…
And 85 likes on a post that isn’t even a post.
WTH?
How can you like something that doesn’t exist?
(Okay, never mind… that’s fabulous.)
But please tell me what the point is here, because I’m confused.
Or you could be… because besides being exhausted and buried in dirty laundry, I’m buried in vacation photos. And that means you could soon be buried in vacation photos.
So my question is this: would you prefer –
#1. To be fully immersed in my normal day to day, minutia filled, travel posts? (Including restaurants, food, cocktails in the pysch ward, funny road signs, elk poop, a cowboy with 2 hats, the lizard meet and greet, 59 whirlpool tub reflections, death spoon art, the mouse warrior, an amethyst penis, frozen fog, vicious Grand Canyon squirrels, etc.)
Or
#2. Just the highlights. (Scenic photos, a few videos and get over yourself River… no one really cares how you spent the last 2 weeks.)
Your choice.
Where there's only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
River's world.....
