Not great to show a first date...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I learned the hard way. He was late..and I popped into the local bookstore and spotted this. I like chickens..so I had to pick it up..and I couldn't put it down! Hysterically funny! So I bought it. Naturally when "he" showed up he asked what was in the bag..not thinking about the title...I showed it to him. He didn't get it..or a second date for that matter. I went home and drank wine and laughed my rear-end off! A must have for men or women. Has nothing to do with being bitter or having baggage..just funny life and times of some chickens...
Do the Chicken Dance

Not every one will GET this book. It is sort of like puns - and how some people like Seinfeld, and some hate him, etc. But this book is totally imaginative and artistic. Personally, I laughed hard. Put it down. Picked it up and laughed again. It is particularly funny if you used to play with those little fuzzy chickens made of fuzz and glue from the Easter baskets. If your sense of humor is somewhat whacky, the book is more than well worth it. Besides, it will make you smile.
Deceptively simple idea, but really, really funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
It's a little hard to explain this book to someone who hasn't seen it: "See, she takes these little plastic chicks and surrounds them with dollhouse furniture and takes pictures of them, then writes these hilarious captions...". About this time, the person you're talking to is giving you an odd look, and you close lamely with "You'd just have to see it. It's really funny." But the thing is, it IS really funny. I gave it to my lovely bride as a birthday present after she kept returning to it at the store and laughing at one image after another. Now, we're taking turns browsing through it again and again. "Sleep with one eye open, mother." "Princess Gwyneth's money was on Puff." Great stuff. "Bitter with Baggage" kind of reminds me of the Monty Python fish-slapping dance sketch: it's a good test of whether someone has even a rudimentary sense of humor. If they do, they're sure to get at least a chuckle out of this, and maybe a lot more.
Great gift for that whacked friend...

I read this whole book while shopping at the mall, bought it for a friend, then took it home and read through it three more times. I don't want to mail it; I want to keep it and read it every day after work. Maybe I'll buy another one for myself.
Chickens Have Come Home To Roost In Time for the Holidays

This is a "chick" book that is chic...it delivers a punch on every page. Wit combines with art to create pictures you won't forget. If you want lively conversation around your coffee table...place a copy of this book on that table. This is the perfect Holiday gift for adults of any age...and makes a great and unusual hostess gift.
