So Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road? ...

George Bush's Answer: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

Al Gore's Answer: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.

Bill Gates' Answer: I have just released e-Chicken 2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of e-Chicken.

Martha Stewart's Answer: No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

Dr. Seuss' Answer:
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!

Martin Luther King Jr's Answer: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

Grandpa's Answer: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

Barbara Walters' Answer: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its life-long dream of crossing the road.

Ralph Nader's Answer: The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

Jerry Seinfield's Answer: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?"

Pat Buchanan's Answer: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.

Jerry Falwell's Answer: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what they call it -- the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side.".

John Lennon's Answer: Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

Aristotle's Answer: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

Albert Einstein's Answer: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

Sigmund Freud's Answer: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

L.A.P.D.'s Answer: Give us ten minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

Richard Nixon's Answer: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.

Buddha's Answer: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken nature.

Joseph Stalin's Answer: I don't care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelets.

Louis Farrakhan's Answer: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.

The Pope's Answer: That is only for God to know.

Emily Dickenson's Answer: Because it could not stop for death.

O.J. Simpson's Answer: It didn't. I was playing golf with it at the time.

Colonel Sanders' Answer: I missed one?

Air Combat Command: The chicken should log this as a GCC sortie only if road-crossing qualified. The crossing updates the chicken's 60-day road-crossing currency only if performed on a Monday or Thursday or during a full moon. Instructor chickens may update currency any time they observe another chicken cross the road.

Air Education and Training Command:
The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing procedures. Road-crossing should be performed only between the hours of sunset and sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least three miles of visibility and a safety observer.

Air Force Personnel Center:
Due to the needs of the Air Force, the chicken was involuntarily reassigned to the other side of the road. This will be a 3-year controlled tour and we promise to give the chicken a good-deal assignment afterwards. Every chicken will be required to do one road-crossing during its career, and this will not affect its opportunities for future promotion.

L.A. Police Department :
Give us ten minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

Humphrey Bogart:
Otherwise, it would regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of its life.

Rhett Butler:
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Julius Caesar:
It came, it saw, it crossed.

Gregor Mendel:
To get various strains of roads.

Bill Clinton:
It crossed the road once, but it didn't inhale.

Basil Fawlty:
Oh, don't mind that chicken. It's from Barcelona.

Marcel Marceau:


Fox Muldar:
It was a government conspiracy. You saw the chicken cross the road with your own eyes. How many chickens must cross the road before you believe it? I request otherwise.

Douglas Adams:
Forty-two

ANDERSEN CONSULTING:
Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market.
Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework.
Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Andersen consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes.
The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conductive towards the creation of a total business integration solution.
Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.

Johnny Cochran:
The chicken didn't cross the road. Some chicken-hating, genocidal, lying public official moved the road right under the chicken's feet while he was practicing his golf swing and thinking about his family.

J.R.R. Tolkien :
The chicken, sunlight coruscating off its radiant yellow-white coat of feathers, approached the dark, sullen asphalt road and scrutinized it intently with its obsidian-black eyes. Every detail of the thoroughfare leapt into blinding focus: the rough texture of the surface, over which countless tires had worked their relentless tread through the ages; the innumerable fragments of stone embedded within the lugubrious mass, perhaps quarried from the great pits where the Sons of Man labored not far from here; the dull black asphalt itself, exuding those waves of heat which distort the sight and bring weakness to the body; the other attributes of the great highway too numerous to give name. And then it crossed it.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
"The fact that the chicken has crossed the road with all impunity, in spite of the UN resolutions, represents a grave assault on
democracy, justice and liberty. This proves beyond a reasonable doubt that we should have bombed that road a long time ago.With the objective of guaranteeing peace in that region, and to prevent the values that we defend form being attacked once more by that type of terrorism, the government of the United States of America has decided to send 17 aircraft carriers, 46 destructors and 154 frigates, with the and support of 243.000 infantry soldiers and air support of 846 bomber jets, whose mission it will be, in name of freedom and democracy, to eliminate any form of life in all chicken coups within a diameter of 5.000 kilometers, and then, for security, with a battery of very accurate missiles, that everything else in the area that resembles a chicken coup be reduced to a pile of ashes so that they will never defy our great nation with their arrogance.We have also decided, that the country will then be run generously by our government, that will reconstruct the chicken coups according to the valid security measures. Furthermore, each coup will be lead by a rooster elected democratically by the embassador of the USA.To finance this reconstruction, we will have to make due with the profits of all cereal productions foe the next 30 years, giving an ammount of produce to the inhabitants in exchange for their total cooperation In this new countryb of peace, justice, and liberty, we can then assure you, that no chicken will ever attempt to cross the road, for the simple reason that there will no longer be any roads, and chickens will have no feet. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

[DancePoet]

The chicken crossed the road??? No way! It couldn't have crossed the road. It wasn't even near enough to the road to cross it. This must be a mistake! It was lying right there sleeping next to me. Someone must of snuck up, snatched the chicken, snapped it's neck, and then proceeded to throw it over to the other side when I wasn't looking. That's it! It must be! There is know way it would have dared to cross the road, let alone attempt to cross the road, or even think of crossing the road with out me stopping the traffic to let it cross. Otherwise, it would have been hit by that big 18 wheeler that I can see off in the distance. See, that one, down that way. Yes, that's it, the one kicking up all the dust as it's moving further away from us.

Maybe the chicken was abducted by aliens? ;)

You know, abducted and then deposited on to the other side of the road.

And if this happened, can one really say the chicken crossed the road?

Hmmm ... what's that about inquiring minds ...

crap. i knew i shouldn't have brought it up. let's just say that:

this particular chicken keeps expressing intense physical attraction for a certain road, complimenting the road's eyes & lips in particular and keeps offering to cross the road whenever the road wants. but the act of crossing the road under these circumstances would be considered jaywalking by this particular road, who believes in a great infrastructure in the sky where there is exactly one chicken for each road and drivers always stay to the right, pass on the left, etc..

the fact that the road finds the chicken extremely attractive and kinda likes the idea of being seen with the chicken by certain other chickens (& other roads who would be happy to have this chicken cross them indiscriminately) complicates matters and as a consequence the chicken has been seen at various dances darting in & out of traffic & pickng up trash along the side of this road every fri. & sat. for the last 3 weeks.

OMG ROTFriggingFALMFiggingAO

[tsb]

what makes things even more interesting is that the same weekend when the chicken made the first of many requests to cross the road, & even prove that chickens DO have lips (which it admittedly wouldn't do for just any other road), another chicken, when being taken out for a birthday dinner on sunday, told the road, upon meeting, "i hope you like this skirt. it's the shortest one i have."

the road in question is now contemplating of having a toll booth installed (freudian slip, i originally typed "tool booth").

Ex-roosters tend to mess things up. :? That's for sure. :lol: :lol:

Which reminds me ... tsb, how are things going between the road and the chicken?

(I forgot how funny this thread was, and glad I went back to reread it!)

[Vince A]

This is one that I keep up with . . . it's just too d**n funny!

[DancePoet]

Oh, I get it!

The chicken crossed the road to find a new rooster!

Why of course, certainly the most obvious answer. ;)

[tsb]

i think i'd already mentioned that the chicken had morphed back into a mother hen when the chick came back from visiting the rooster overseas during the summer. but the hen still hangs around and uses the road as a safe haven when other roads flash their "walk" signs.

the chicken did visit the local garage a couple of weekends ago when the chick was doing a pit stop at a friend's house. as the road is a healthy road, the light briefly switched from flashing red to flashing yellow but this time it was the chicken who was concerned that if she crossed the road, the road would experience remorse the next day and somehow have bad feelings towards the chicken and stop being a sanctuary from other roads so she demurred.

[DancePoet]

Lol!

You walk around the hen house local area while strutting your stuff as all roosters do???

You have the word "easy" as a tattoo on your forehead?

Seriously . . .
I think it's something that all of us men go through . . . I know I did. I married her, and divorced her six-months later! She easily could have been the woman you're describing. I was weak and fell for it!

We must be trying to prove . . . what? I don't know!

actually, near my groin - so they have confirmation after the fact. :twisted:

i know someone who had a tattoo which said "the image is about 1/4 life size. but if you're reading this, this is probably no longer true!"

that when the flow of blood to the brain is disrupted it is quite difficult (yes, i avoided the pun as being too cheap) to think clearly.

given what i know of her childhood & family life, i think it quite possible that i'm the first "straight" road (in this story line roads do not go both ways) she's encountered that didn't immediately flash green lights at her.

we were supposed to hook up tonight at a dance near her home but she just called to say that the chick is ill & had to come home.

[pygmalion]

Good luck, tsb. 8)

Chickens with young chicks can be difficult to decode, especially when there's an ex-rooster somewhat in the picture. Nothing is what it seems. So I wish you all the best, my friend. 8)

I hope and pray you don't get your heart broken... or, that if you do, it was worth it. :wink: 8) :friend:

[tsb]

Good luck, tsb. 8)

thanks.


Nothing is what it seems.


yes, there are warning lights going off all over the place. fortunately, i have a friend who has seemingly installed himself as a toll booth & chaperones me when the chicken is about.


So I wish you all the best, my friend. 8)


thanks.


I hope and pray you don't get your heart broken... or, that if you do, it was worth it. :wink: 8) :friend:

i know spontaneous combustion is likely to occur, immolating yours truly - others have commented that in observing behavior of said chicken that it is quite likely that the chicken would be quite vindictive if she felt she were wronged in some way. so i should have toll booths installed at every available intersection if not setting up roadblocks manned by the state police. but the part of me that wants to be a therapist sees her pain as well as her desire to move past that & to be able to make good choices. the question beyond my own well being then becomes whether i help or hinder that process. i have to admit that she was pretty astute as to how i would have responded later had a road crossing occurred; i would have gone into a quarantine mode to minimze the risk of it occurring again.

chicken update:

we have confirmed the conversion of the chicken in question back into conscientious mother hen so her attendance at various dances during the fall has been curtailed. so the chicken still does the same thing, just less often. other prospects of the gallus domesticus persuasion (i just justified studying latin) are now being interviewed for the purposes of assigning holiday parking passes while other parts of the road are being rezoned from residential to commercial to influence foot traffic.

i danced with the chicken just this past saturday. she gave me a couple of overt looks while we were dancing but stayed away from the curb...

she gave me a call around 4pm & i had no plans for the evening so i decided to go - this was the dance that got tacad so down. the dance was clearly underpopulated. i thiink the chicken was the only person i danced with there - although i did sit through one dance with sara's feet in my lap. i think tacad had left by then.

[DancePoet]

As you are aware, beware of chickens crossing the road. ;)

Sometimes they might not be able to make up their mind and keep crossing the road. The chicken's confusion could be transfered to the road.

Also all roads tend to have big trucks that if the tires hit the chicken, well, then there is a big "splat" on the road, and the road now has quite a mess to clean up. If the truck hits the chicken square on the front grill, and I don't mean grill as in the yummy barbequed type of grill, it sticks just the same, and this may dispose of a confusing unwanted chicken in a more preferable manner then a tire. ;)

However, there are good chickens and bad chickens, just like there are good roosters and there are bad roosters. ;)

May your current rooster be more then just plumage. 8)

Just saw this post. No, but I've danced with her before. That place had a strange vibe. She didn't seem available somehow.

EDIT: Actually no one seemed available somehow. And they were all sitting around, not dancing, not being available. Which is their right. And I had the right to go somewhere else and find some available chickens. :lol:

seriously, i was quite gratified to discover that i got as much face time as i did, as i was trying to show off my partner, who's SAG & wants the face time. the last time i was on a couple of years ago, the only time you saw my face was in non-dancing scenes.

i put 40 seconds of it into an avi file:

http://www.geocities.com/thebear_2/gilmore-girls-swing-1.avi

i'm on the right hand side not smiling at all, worried because swing's my weakest dance & my partner is an absolutely terrific lindy dancer and when they finally get to the waltz i get cut out except for a couple seconds from where i vidcapped the avatar.

Albert Einstein's Answer: A fox is watching a chicken cross the road. Speed is relative - it only tells you how last something is moving relative to something else. As a chicken goes by at right angles to the fox, its speed can be measured. If it were running toward the fox, however unlikely this would seem, and the fox is running toward the chicken, then the speed is doubled.

But imagine moving two chickens crossing the road at the speed of light but from opposite sides of the road, because Light, however, doesn't behave in the same way: its speed is constant, regardless of the speed of its source or observer. Mind you if you are a fox then this is a serious problem to catch such a chicken would be difficult.

I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross. :wink: :wink:

- to show that while it was chicken, it was also brave;
- it was tired of all the pushing and wanted to pullet;
- it had lost its comb and wanted to put its capon;
- it had been sold into slavery for a poultry sum;
- it smelled something fowl;

I'm having trouble deciding between :doh: and :notworth:

- someone left clicked on the chicken, dragged it & dropped it;
- so as not to collide with the oncoming pedestrian who, though not a chicken, won the game of chicken;
- it was in a curry, er, hurry;
- though while angry, had no intention of going into a stew about it;
- originally thought that the roast was about having friends make fun of you;

Because of the brand-new iChicken- a portable device that crosses roads, lays eggs, gives wakeup calls and provides dinner, automatically. This amazing device can simply plug in to the $4000 iCoop to produce additional iChickens and recharge existing iChickens, or plug it into the $9000 iChop to convert iChicken files into iFood. iFood-to-Regular Food converters sell for an additional $50/month fee, however the optional iFood-to-FoodXP converter is still in development. iChickens are only available from authorized iDealers, which can be found in nearly every US state. If your iChicken develops a disease or stops working, you must send it by FedEx Overnight to Littleton, Montana and our iTechnicians will send you a replacement within 3 months. The iChicken. Wow.

if you MUST know: 'the babe' was busy entertaining a friend from san diego last weekend. so friday night i took it easy, saturday night i went to a dance party over in brentwood. the owner added a solarium in the back yard as a dedicated dance floor - pretty nice. during a break i did my light-jazz lounge-lizard routine on the grand piano which caught the attention of a casual acquaintance. she suggested we go out dancing the following night (sunday) - which we did. after a late dinner we had LONG conversation. while i have been sworn to secrecy on parts of it, i can relay that while she considers me "adorable" ("in your own way" :roll: ) she thought we weren't compatible long term & crossing the road would probably disrupt our dance circles. the rest of the evening was spent cuddling, not unlike what happens after, er, pedestrian behavior.

DancePoet... Species 87294... Assimilated on date 06232005. Species is humorous but lacks the ability to see things as they really are. It's distinctiveness has been added to our own.
:shock: Looks like we now have a case of assimilation on the brain. :roll:

[DancePoet]

*giggle*
:D

[DancePoet]

OOOOOOooooooooooooooohboy have I been gone a while.... I've missed out on all the chickens attempting road crossings....
Besides, I might get accused of being ... "assimilated" ... by one of those pesky ... oops, well maybe I can use Elmer's word ... wabbits.

(:shock: DP, be careful, someone might call this reason to accuse you of being "assimilated")

Ayuh, but still don't got it in my signature! ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: :arrow: :!: :arrow: :arrow: :!:
*HE SAID "AYUH." We have determined that this is an affirmative used in the North East of America.
You, DancePoet, are now completely assimilated. We will now become automatically more poetic.
:shock: Clearly another case of assimilation on the brain here, too. :roll:

[DancePoet]

Wait! I got it! I know why the chicken crossed the road!

(:shock: Really? DP, are you sure?)

Yes, to get away from the ... wabbit! ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

(Oh DP ... :roll: :roll: :roll:)
The chicken crossed the road to get away form DP and his invisible friend! :P :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah, now we are back on topic! :P :wink: :lol:

Perhaps there is still hope for CCCCat. Perhaps.

[DancePoet]

:nope:
:lol:

Interestingly, those photos back there didn't include a chicken. Phew!

And we now have them posting over on this chicken thread. :lol:

[DancePoet]

Read 241 pages just to figure out an inside joke?!? :shock: Nah. Not worth it. :wink: :lol:

Edit: btw, I wonder what tsb's up to, this weekend. :roll: :lol:
He is likely still dating the "babe". ;)

if you MUST know: 'the babe' was busy entertaining a friend from san diego last weekend. so friday night i took it easy, saturday night i went to a dance party over in brentwood. the owner added a solarium in the back yard as a dedicated dance floor - pretty nice. during a break i did my light-jazz lounge-lizard routine on the grand piano which caught the attention of a casual acquaintance. she suggested we go out dancing the following night (sunday) - which we did. after a late dinner we had LONG conversation. while i have been sworn to secrecy on parts of it, i can relay that while she considers me "adorable" ("in your own way" :roll: ) she thought we weren't compatible long term & crossing the road would probably disrupt our dance circles. the rest of the evening was spent cuddling, not unlike what happens after, er, pedestrian behavior.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Secrecy is understandable and respectful. Sometimes chickens get close to crossing roads, but hesitation now doesn't mean not crossing later. ;)

[tsb]

yes, but i still maintain my beliefs in the great infrastructure where there is only one chicken for each road (no roads go "both ways", etc.) & also concur in her evaluation that at present we are not compatible long term.

and that's her in the current avatar.

[pygmalion]

Wow. She's cute. 8) :)

[DancingMommy]

Not as cute as he is. But hey I'm biased, lol. ;0

Ayuh. Definitely a cutie. Nice color red for her dress, too. ;)

YUp if he will dance with you...I wouldn't mind doing that to if I can follow as well.

I've got a single SIL who lives in PHX. She's cute. :) Chinese/Indonesian but not pagan.

that's a 45 minute SW flight away...

[DancingMommy]

that's a 45 minute SW flight away...

She's working on her master's degree in some sort of computer science field. :) She's very very nice. Hmmm lemme see if I can find a picture.....http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid2/p2219f03bd389373e3640b13a2de69377/fee5cff1.jpg This is her almost 5years (and about 40 pounds ago). She's gotten really skinny, lol. The pic is a digital picture of the proofs of our wedding album, so they aren't that great. The guy next to her is my hubby. :) He is NOT 40 # lighter, lol. :)

Still! Now I see it. :P :)

Pagan can be sexy. :wink: :lol:

[DancingMommy]

Well, yeah if both chickens are pagan it can be a good thing but if 1 chicken is pagan and one is kosher, hallal or what have you, it can get messy....

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol: :lol: True. Very true.

[DancePoet]

Hey tsb, just a heads up for you ... they are talking about chickens crossing roads on the bunny thread. ;) :lol:

[tsb]

bunnies are rather indiscriminate about road crossing.

[DancingMommy]

I rather think that depends on the particular bunny in question....

On a side note.... What makes roosters like salsa leads?

I don't know, I give up.

[DancingMommy]

One rooster to many hens = playa. ;P How's that for a stereotype? You know I'm just kidding myway to 2000+ posts. :)

[DancingMommy]

So any news of chickens and road crossings?

[pygmalion]

My horoscope says that's today's a good day for me to make a romantic commitment. Does that count? :roll: :wink: :lol:

[DancingMommy]

No silly. I need details of actual chickens and actual roads.

[pygmalion]

Aw man! :tongue: :lol:

[DancingMommy]

I'm stuck at home with no car.... I gotta have SOME kind of a life. And toying with Matrix can only go so far for amusement purposes......

See here (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm) for my current iteration.....

[pygmalion]

No car? Eeek! I'd lose it. :( Entertain yourself any way you need to, DM. :wink: 8)

[DancingMommy]

Right now I'm just trying to keep from alternately freezing and frying. Our A/C is either COLD or NOT. ERGH.

[DancePoet]

I believe the chicken was crossing the road to avoid bunnies. ;) :lol:

[tacad]

:lol:

[DancingMommy]

What happened to my "You can run but you can't hide" post????

[DancePoet]

Hmmm ... I wonder if the chickens crossing the roads are walking, running, trespassing, or dilly dallying in circles before rushing off to find another road. ;) :lol:

[pygmalion]

What happened to my "You can run but you can't hide" post????

Are you sure it was in this thread? TYhat's happened to me a bunch of times. I posted something and thought it disappeared. Then later, when I was reading a totally unrelated thread, found the missing post. *shrug*

Maybe it ran and hid? ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe the chicken crossed the road to hide? ;)

Speaking of chickens crossing roads..... Last night on our way to dinner, there was a group of ducks crossing the road. No lie. They were on their way to the sherriff's office. Go figure. Tied up traffic with idiot Florida drivers who had no clue they could just stop and let them go by rather than trying to drive around the ducks (which only confused the ducks worse).

Well, according to Heisenburg, the chicken neither is nor isn't across the road until it is observed. See, the act of observing causes the chicken's particle-wave function to collapse to a point in three-dimensional space, which on this particular occasion happened to be across the road. If a quantum encoding is applied to the chicken, then it can occupy any or all points in space at any given time depending on the spin-axis orientation of the observer. On this occasion, it caused a non-local displacement of the chicken which caused it to appear on the other side of the road without actually crossing. So the whole point is moot. I hope that was perfectly clear.

I did not take the time to read all the response to this post, so my sincerest apologies if this is a repeat:

...to show the armadillo it could be done!

Hmm. I haven't seen as much armadillo road kill here as I did in Florida. I wonder why. Maybe I live in the wrong area of Texas. :?
