    At first he talks about the chickens and the dude selling the chicken food and I think WTF? but then he goes on to talking in more general way about the conflicts that arise in a perceived set of man made rules. that kinda big.

  • Killing those chickens was a great past time for those really boring nights. :p

  • I never believed Geek existed until I saw this video.

    Watching the signs along the way...

    And yes, We've just begun.  --- The Carpenters ---
