Back again...Scarlet just thinking about that rooster has been so funny! I've got to tell you all that I was laughing so hard about PC/akaPoopy Chicken that our phone rang and I answered it and still laughing, heard this sweet North Carolina voice (thinking it was Scarlet) and I said, "Hi! Is this Poopy Chicken's mommy"

"What?" she said,

So I repeated, "Is this Poopy Chicken's mommy?"

"No, this is Wendy from Alltel."

Sure! Now she decides to return my call!

Well, needless to say, Wendy and I had a big laugh on the phone. I told her (for those of you who don't know what Alltel is, it's our local cell phone company) that even though she's a salesperson for Alltel that sometimes she's going to have to be firm and just say "NO, I won't sell you a phone!" when people like me who can't be trusted to answer a phone politely ask to buy one. That poor woman!

Scarlet--you have had me cracking up all day to the point of embarrassing myself. No wonder I like you!!!

More later...I've got to get dinner (well Sub Station sandwiches) on the table.

Di! I hope we're brightening your day, sorry it was bad.

Rosebud....just want you to know. I happen to be reading about your PC-post out loud and not noticing my kids around. I am laughing...and my kids are now running through the house.

Poopie Chicken!!!!! "Mom, can we call Bauer that?"...

I am going to need medical assistance soon. I was laughing so hard.

******************
OK, quick doggie story. We have a LAB, Bauer, and he is mostly an inside dog that rules and reigns. He goes outside during the day and such. Well the back door neighbors have to small shaggy dogs that somehow find a way through the fence. Which we have fixed countless times. They just follow Bauer all around. They are less than half his size. And HE loves it. He feels like the HEAD dog and he has followers.

OK...so the other day they were all in the backyard (oh and we have given up trying to fix the fence.) And I had the glass door open and just the screen closed. Bauer and his friends are watching and looking in. Bauer knows not to come in unless called. Even it the screen is open. BUT he didn't tell his friends I guess. SO i am in the back of the house cleaning and all of the sudden I see this grey ball of fur in my bedroom. BOTH of those dogs were roaming through my house. I called for Bauer ~~ who was at the back door going...."guys, I don't think my mom will be ok with this." And looking quite innocent. ~~"Bauer, come get your friends...you know you have to ask premission to have friends in the house!!!!"

Anyway...they all went back outside and laid on the porch like they all owned the house!!! And I keep a closer eye on the door now.

I love my Dog!!

Hey Alisa! I use to have a cat named FruitCake!! He was a black and white domestic short hair. His original name was Farouk (you know, King Farouk), but as he got older, it turned into FruitCake!!

Let's see if I can think of a good monkey story or a pig story....

Okay, here is a pig story. We have two pigs, Pierre who is black and 13 years old and Charlotte, who is white with black patches and is about 8 years old. Charlotte use to live in the house, she even slept in my daughter's bed!! We gave her a beanbag chair for a bed. Not a good move.... she rooted in it and ripped it. I came into the room and little white styrofoam "beans" were all over place. She was quite comfy laying in the middle of it all. Charlotte has since been ban from living in the house. She would go outside, root in the mud, then come inside and rub her nasty, dirty nose on the walls. She would also go digging in my kitchen cabnets looking for food, pushing all the pots and pans out onto the floor. I guess I needed baby latches for my pig!! HA!

~Blessings from the Bayou~

They may call me a nut,but at least I'm screwed to the right Bolt!

shari, your piggie sounds funny.

but let me just ask...did you name me after your CAT?!?!?!!?

LOLOLOLOLOL

<>< ffc

Suzie you are so sweet. I don't have any grandchildren or even a daughter for that matter. I'm not sure I'm old enough to be you Gram, but it is so sweet for you to think of your Gram when you see my name.

This thread has been so much fun and at this point I just can't out do any of the stories except for the time my kitty Moki hid out in our neighbors motorhome and went to the ocean with them.

Blessings,
Nancie

Gram-

Thank you for letting me call you Gram even if you aren't old enough to be my grandma, (which you're probably not).

Norma, Scarlet, Alisa, Shari, Gram, Sara, Di and everyone who has been apart of this "jockularity" (anyone one remember Father O'Malley from M*A*S*H?) I just wanted to thank you for giving me such a good laugh today.

Anyone else have any animals that have taken vacations with the neighbors, or roosters that have watched too many Sylvestor Stallone movies that cause him to want to fight everyone or uninvited dog friends in their house.....?

Hey Nancie...maybe I can get PC to hide out in the neighbor's camper the next time it gets cold. I'll tell her it was your idea!

Norma...suffice it to say that PC's name fits very well!!

Alisa...don't worry too much about the cat's name. My aunt and uncle had a dog named Crack Baby...they named it that because the dog "cracked them up".

I probably shouldn't tell you girls this, but when the dog finally died they put her body in my grandmother's freezer until they could find a taxidermist. They finally had the dog stuffed, and she sits on my aunt's sofa in her living room. Well, we went over to their house one time, and my husband had no idea that the dog was stuffed. When we left he commented on how wonderfully behaved their dog was...and couldn't believe that she didn't even bark at him! He wanted me to get the name of their dog trainer!

Shari...my husband won't let me have a pig...I've begged him, but he says four children are all the little "piggies" that we need.

Di and Sara you don't have to have a chicken to join in all the fun. Let's hear your stories too!

And Suzie, honey, if you talk to the telephone saleswoman like that I'm not sure if I should call again or not. Remember darlin' you're in the south now...I'm not the only one with a little southern drawl. Honestly I would have loved to hear that conversation. Mark and Josh are rolling!

Rosebud

Oh Scarlet...you are just about as funny as they come. That stuffed dog story is hysterical!
What in the world did Mark do when he found out that it was stuffed?

As for my new phone pal Wendy....I've got to go and meet her now face to face to exchange my cell phone for a new one. I bet she never had a sales call like that one before! The most embarrassing part about it is this isn't the first time that I've answered the phone....shall we say inappropriately and made a total fool of myself and I promised my family that I would never do it again. I thought Van was going to fall out flat on the floor when I told him last night. I told him that I've worked hard over the years to keep him entertained---he was laughing...as usual. (I don't think he'll be going into Alltel soon though, especially since he was the one that talked to Wendy first about me getting a new phone...poor Van).

I told you Scarlet that it's hard to find a person with an North Carolina accent that lives in Charlotte---who would have thought Wendy would sound just like you?

Mark thinks my family is nuts to start with so the dog simply confirmed his suspicions. I can't believe he didn't notice that the dog never blinked.

Sounds to me like Van and Mark need to get together and exchange war stories. I woke up in the middle of the night last night laughing over your phone conversation with Wendy!

We definitely have to meet for lunch one day.

Rosebud

Imagine Wendy's surprise at being called, "Poopie Chicken's mommy!!!" (I hope I didn't give her a complex, nah...she was laughing so hard she could barely breath!!)

As for the war stories...I think Van may win out on that one. He kept saying, "but Suzie, you promised!"

and so it goes...another day in the Tuley house.

(Mark didn't notice the dog's eyes not blinking....how funny is that??? You would think he would have wondered why the dog never needed to go outside though!)

Oh my gosh ~ a stuffed dog and he didnt know it wasn't alive? You are just sooooooo funny. And I thought the "poopie chicken" story was funny.

It's just really great to be able to get on the forum and be able to laugh when everything is so serious right now.

Scarlet is going to the zoo today with her children, so maybe tonight she'll have some more funny animal stories to share with us!! One can only hope....

We actually went to a children's museum in a neigboring city. It was much too rainy for the zoo. The children loved it...they have a fire truck, the cockpit of a jet, a police car, a racecar and a mail truck that the children can climb in and over.

Their favorite thing though was the bubble maker. They stood in the center of a circle, and by pulling a metal hoop around them would be inside a bubble. They had a lot of fun, but I'm afraid I don't have any good stories.

Rosebud

Oh well it will give my sides and stomach a chance to recover from laughing so hard. Glad you had a good day.

Well now...my husband used to be a feed store manager so I have got quite a few stories. Feed stores in rural Arkansas really bring the Real true Arkies out of the woodwork.
we had one lady who...well...kept her chickens in her house...now, mind you, they were fancy chickens...she even painted their nails. She was...well...ummm...different, in a nice sorta way. She liked to talk alot. my dh tried not to laugh, but some of her stories she told made it hard to keep a straight face.
I used to help out at the store too, so I met some very interesting people, that really love their animals. Had to be very careful sometimes about what you said about animals.
I also got quite an eduation about animal reproduction! I was just a city girl! I am quite informed now.


Oh I have got to tell this one! when we first moved to Ark. from KCMO I was standing in line at our little walmart (very small, but convenient), these two ladies were talking back and forth. I really was catching the last part of the conversation, it was like this:"I told my daughter that she just has too much going on...she was just going to have to choose." the next lady, "yes, I can't believe how busy it gets. I made my daughter choose this year. She had to choose between cheerleader or her heifer."
I just starting laughing, they looked at me a little confused I apologized and explained that I was from a big city and that this was not normal conversation for the Big city. They both smiled. I asked, "so what did your daughter choose?" again she looked a little puzzled and said," well, the heifer" very matter of factly.
4-H is huge around here. Alot of kids raise pigs, heifers, horses, etc.

Wow this is a random thread. We talk about talking.

Puddles, I am soo embarassed. How could you get the date all messed up!!

Maybe we could name my Angel girl so I can talk to her too, while I’m here. She does get quite lonely just sitting there all the time, and no one even says, “hi” to her. Can you imagine what that must be like? She comes and no one ever talks to her. The poor thing.

Norma is currently rolling on the floor laughing that she is unable to respond and grant you forgiveness for skipping out!! So I will do it for her.

Bayou, your cat turned blue?? Maybe he sleeps on your head or neck, so that you know what he felt like when he had a hard time breathing.

Rosebud, why do you have a rooster? All the roosters I’ve met are so confused. They start crowing at 2 or 3 am. They have a competition between the roosters to see who can crow first, so they start earlier and earlier.

Honesly now what would we do without our animals and hubands to keep us laughing. Oh I almost forgot ~ for the rest of us we have Suzie to keep us laughting.

I’m glad I’ve got Suzie, although my cat can be funny at times. About 3 years ago my sister got 2 birds. We brought them home and set the cage on the table. Instantly we had a live “tweety and sylvester” show. My cat jumped up and down trying to see them, and she even tried standing on her hind legs (she knows she’s not allowed on the table)
