A very chickenfull post

Buckeroomama have been kind enough to award me the Zombie Chicken award.

Yes, you read right. Zombie. Chicken.

Basically this awards means that I’m one of the people that she’ll not stop reading even if there are an army of Zombie Chicken attacking her. Now, she doesn’t think of me in this whole situation i.e them zombie chickens can track my IP and who I am from my post, and then proceed to attack me. Nooo, not once have she thought about my safety in her quest to read my irate rants.

That being said, I am so honoured to be awarded this award. I now question her sanity on reading me at all. What have I done to this woman? I pat myself for this.

Thank you, Buckeroomama! And please, finish reading before those Cluckity Monsters attack you. Please.

In the spirit of Zombie Chicken award, I would like to bring your attention to another Clucky business before I give away my Zombie Chicken award.

Collect your good karma, consider giving away a chicken. Yes! A chicken!

Good ‘ol Genesis brought my attention to this charity in this post just as I came into massive inheritance. Her timing is perfect. For more information, check out the Mayan Family Chicken Program

My short version of this: to effectively provide for a Mayan family in need, 10 chickens are needed per family. These 10 chickens plus feeding and other chicken-rearing related activities will cost a one-off $35 donation per family. If you break it down, that comes to $3.50 per chicken. With those 10 chickens, they can sustain themselves with the eggs, or meat from the chicken. They can sell the eggs. They can eat the meat. So many possibilities!

We all have heard the phrase “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.  Teach a man to fish; and you will have fed him for a lifetime”. This works in the same way, except with chicken! I doubt you can lure chicken with a bait at the end of a fishing rod anyway.

The Mad Penguin have gone cluckity buck buck! and have donated the equivalent of 2 chickens last night. I’m pledging 10 chickens before the end of this year. I’m going to try to do it bit by bit til I have donated the full $35 amount needed for a family. We pray all my 10 chickens at the end of this exercise will not turn into Zombie Chickens. Now, I’m not sure if the Mayan family will be thankful for that. Hmm…

And now *drumroll* for the nomination.

Yes, I’m being sneaky because I nominate at the end of my post, so that you’re forced to read about the Clucks for Bucks but hey, I’m misleading you in the name of charity. You can’t hate me. Nya nya nya nya nya.

The Tao of Zombie Chicken Award:
”The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…"

First up is Genesis from ExpatMom. This award goes to her for being the original cluck cluck what’s with her educating us all about the chicken bus and pointing out those Cluck for Buck program Yes, I would so brave zombie chickens to read her.

Secondly, the award goes to Stella because she is one of my soul sisters and no zombie chicken would come in between me and updates from her blog. Tough luck, chickens!

Thirdly, goes to Stereomanic. He’s a newbie in this blogging world so be kind to him will ya? He discusses issues and voice his opinion on them, some of which I might not agree but many of which I nod and go “hell yeah!”. So for gutsy-ness, ability to put them in coherent words I give him a zombie chicken.

Fourth, Unfinished Business Part II because I like the unfinality of the blog title. Haha. I kid. Aren’t I funny! I crack myself up sometimes. Yeah. I’ll read her in between hacking zombie chickens. Her writing borders between factual whimsical (I really don’t know how else to explain this) and look at the blog, it is so tidy! My mild OCD approves very highly.

Fifth, Tina of The Creative Nerd. Now that she has a second laptop, maybe more post would come our way *hinthint*. She a fellow bookworm and a lot of my readings last year was through her recommendations. Here you go Tina, take them chickens away from me!

This concludes my very long post concerning chickens. If you still need more chickens, feel free to find out why the chickens cross the road here and here.
