His Royal Blogness, King DJ Matticus from the Matticus Kingdom has extended a personal invitation for me to join his inaugural tug-o-war. Want to know how it works? Here ya’ go:
1) Read the Prompt
2) Choose a Side
3) Write a Post Supporting Your Decision
4) Link Back to the Original Post for Counting Purposes
5) Talk About It to Everyone Who Will Listen
The Prompt:
Which came first: the chicken or the egg?
My Side:
Had to be an egg with twin chickens inside (one male and one female). Once they hatched, the hooked up and created a whole family of special-needs chickens that we now feed off of. (No one ever said chickens were smart, and apparently you can mate siblings in the non-human animal world with little-to-no complications.) There is a lot less to go wrong if the egg started it. If the chicken started it then it would be a hermaphrodite which would lead to more problems than siblings procreating. There you go. My side.
Remember:
Refrain from wrapping the rope around any part of your body. If you wrap, you’ll lose that crap. Seriously, it happens.

I knew it! Team Chicken can go peck some seed! Hahahaha!

From a evolutionary sense, the egg came first, but the thing that birthed it wasn’t a chicken.
February 25, 2013 at 9:43 AM
Was it you Steve? Who birthed the egg? Eve? Did it just roll out of the prehistoric mud that may or may not have evolved into the ocean? LOL
February 23, 2013 at 9:19 PM
Well stated.
But I completely disagree, so you must be wrong.
February 23, 2013 at 9:51 PM
Well, Guapamole…. that’s one way of seeing it. The other is that because I am a women and have to go through the pain of child birth I am NEVER wrong. Which means…. yep. Change your position if you want to be right.
February 23, 2013 at 10:13 PM
While I would never question your birth-giving credentials, it’s obvious here that you are simply flummoxed with the brilliance of my position, and I will therefore, graciously, give you some time to come around and change your position so you can be right.

Some people will look at the sun and still refuse to believe it is the reason we are alive. Those people are idiots. Just like people who believe one chicken began the revolution of food that gave birth to Popeye’s, Chik-fil-A, and KFC. The first step is in admitting you have a problem. Yes, Guap… YOU have a problem.
February 24, 2013 at 4:16 PM
I believe you are correct in reporting that I have a problem, namely that I could expect anything other than this libelous slandering from someone so obviously in the pocket of Big Poultry.
Please consider tomorrows missives from my attorneys, Bilbous, Gastrocia and Cod as nothing more than a friendly gesture of my warmth and friendship.
(By the way, could you remind me which side I picked – I’m full blown gonzo lost at this point…)
February 25, 2013 at 9:44 AM
You were on my side. Cease the lawsuit of slander. (Big Poultry pays in chicken feed… not something that whets my appetite.)
February 25, 2013 at 9:45 AM
And the whole gag was worth it, just for that punchline!
February 25, 2013 at 9:48 AM
Wait a minute, though…. wouldn’t chicken supporters also be paid by Big Poultry. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure it is DJMatticus who is being paid by Big Poultry! For shame! Free advertising. Pooh-pooh!

Egg team marching on to victory!
And, just a bit of housekeeping… I’m the jester not the king.
February 23, 2013 at 10:49 AM
I am sure you’ve got a throne somewhere… porcelain, maybe?
February 23, 2013 at 10:50 AM
True, very true. I definitely do have a throne…
