Burning Chicken Contest

You have to read the whole post now. Seriously, how can you not, with the opening image being a burning chicken bus?
Is it just me that sees a metal chicken on fire in this image? I need to go see my psychiatrist.
And with this comment, swgeek got my brain cells to thinking. We're all slightly crazy (in a good way) here at PtR. Plus, we've got a lot of really creative people. So let's combine all those traits into one insane contest.
We may not need a new logo here at PtR, but I'm curious as to how we can incorporate a burning chicken into a Spurs-related image. So for all those of you talented with the photoshopping, chop away! For those of you like me who have no talent with the photoshopping (or MSPaint), I'm dying to use "burning chicken" in the threads in a manner that doesn't refer to dinner, so give us a reason to Lexiconify the term. If nothing else, this'll definitely be fun!
Any variation on "burning chicken" will be acceptable, including "flaming chicken". And yes, there will be a prize for the best entry.

Sorry – I don’t get it. And that’s a really disturbign photo.

make that “disturbing” photo.

No chickens were harmed in the making of that photo.
Cap is referring to today’s earlier incident and NOT an actual burning chicken.

Just read about the other incident, but still don’t like this on the front page. Let’s get back to basketball and not so much “inside baseball”.

Yeah, PTR has always been known for staying on topic. Wouldn’t want to stray from that.
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.

There don’t seem to be any panicking chickens milling around, so am pretty sure it is just a chicken bus on fire, not chickens.
Lauri: thank goodness I have you magnificent bastards to waste [the offseason] with.
But what is disturbing is that I am just about to eat a turkey breast sandwich. The turkey breast is not a turkey breast slice, but slices from the whole foods deli, which I assume contains processed turkey parts jammed together into a solid mass. I am sure there actually is some breast meat in there, but don’t want to think about what other turkey parts were shredded up and mixed in.
What can I say, I was in a hurry.
Lauri: thank goodness I have you magnificent bastards to waste [the offseason] with.
not that anyone else really cares but – Whole Foods is introducing a rating system based on how ethically the livestock was treated before slaughter. I could never kick chicken or fish but it is nice to be able to tell how the animal was treated before it went into my belly……….
oh and as much as this whole post is on topic with PtR – I apologize for this not being on topic ;)

Then u should not be eating any meats at all. Just eat vegetables . Don’t watch the video on anything that shows the process of the meat and how it gets in the markets. U won’t like it.

that is what i am saying – wholefoods is coming up with a rating to show how humanely the livestock has been treated – i don’t mind eating some animals but it would be good if they were treated with some kindness before we slaughtered them

We cannot have a discussion about chickens without this masterful scene from the classic cinematic gem that is The Room:

I have a question about the rules. Can we used a rooster instead of a chicken in the photochop?

No….But if I can pull off the idea that I have, it might be one of the greatest photochops I have ever done. And we all now how high I have set the bar.

Rooster’s are male chickens (Gallus gallus). So, yes, you may.

Ah well, I don’t really pay that much attention to the metals that aren’t naturally occurring.
Should I?

The realtime X-ray video recording system that the Dr. let ME watch was just about worth the price of admission. It didn’t hurt that he was an old hyper dude that was seriously in love with his job and didn’t mind taking extra time to answer questions. Made the whole thing just about bearable.

Nice, but I’ve noticed a distinct lack of flames associated with the gallus gallus in this image.

You should do an alternate using a word that sounds like rock but starts with a “c”. Appropiate for the image.

I am wheezing with suppressed laughter at work right now. I hope you’re happy.
I tell you what, though—we change our name to Pounding the Cock and our page views are going to go through the ROOF.

But would it improve the site?
That’s the main issue, right?

Well, yeah, if you want to be all old world about it. . . .
I have flying monkeys at my disposal, and I'm not afraid to use them.
I’m just trying to stick with the reason for the entire exercise. Otherwise, what have we learned from this whole thing?
I don’t want to turn around 3 or 6 months from now and have to go through this discussion all over again because we ignored the issue at hand.
Help me improve the site, Lauri. Please.
Don’t treat this like a joke. It cheapens this entire thread. I hope you understand what I mean.

JRW – this thread started out cheap (or is that “cheep” for baby chicks) – you can’t rescue it now!

You think flaming chickens will improve the site? I thought this whole thread was a joke… a good one, too.
I smell death... everywhere.
Yes, this entire thread IS a joke. I was just going over the top of a thread that had already gone over the top. So I ended up appearing like I was trying to be serious about something that I’m poking fun at.
Turns out I should have used the LatinD trademarked smiley.

Sorry, jolly. I thought my sarcasmometer might be off when I wrote the comment… but you fooled me. I think it was the word “cheapens”.
I smell death... everywhere.
I knew that, with that comment, I was running the risk of being too subtle for comfort, so I tried to beef up the ridiculousness by adding an unnecessary
I hope you understand what I mean.
to the end. Ah well. Perhaps with all of your jet-setting around, your sarcasmometer was damaged by some of the airline’s careless baggage handlers.

Ha! Awesome. Sadly I just got home and have an early day tomorrow so no chopping for me. Cool idea.

I didn’t see any deadline on the contest, did I miss it?

So keep the chops coming!
With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.
please excuse my poor chop skills. :D

I know the contest was for a Spurs related chicken image, but I think DRIVE FOR FIVE ( All caps nickname, nice) logic has convinced us all that Pounding the Rock is a lame name.
I have decided to not only come up with a new logo for this blog but also a new name which was in very large part inspired by DRIVE FOR FIVE’s discussions.
Larger version here.
