The Guy That Owes pjbno4's Dad Money May or May Not Be Retiring


Ted Giannoulas; AKA The San Diego Chicken is now in his 35th season and is considering retirement.

“The performing is not the problem,” Giannoulas said. “But waking up in the morning after a game is a little tougher, there's no doubt. And the flying is not as fun as it used to be."

He's 55 years old now and waking up morning after morning in another seedy motel room in some Double-AA city surrounded by empty bottles of gin, cocaine residue and prostitutes has taken a toll. Or has it?

“But then I see Mick Jagger. He's 62 (actually 65),for crying out loud, and he's the best he's ever been. What an inspiration. I look at him and say, 'Why can't I keep going?' ”

Will he hang up his chicken suit? Will he keep going? Do we care? Will he ever pay back pjbno4's dad? Why has he never done an interview with The GLB? What does Bert Sugar think of this? What are The Chickens thoughts on gay marriage?

How much does he owe pjbno4's dad?

10 grand? Does he still hold a grudge against KGB? How much can he bench? I think I’ll have a Caesar salad for lunch? Where does he get this dynamite blow?

The Chicken

would say something about two cocks in a hen house.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

veiled attempt at coming back to san diego

Chicken needs to work out an agreement with the Chargers/Padres/Aztecs/Sockers. Traveling around is probably a pain.

They had a total Arizona furry convention

at Chase Food Court on Sunday. Mascots for every AZ team, including colleges were at the game. People heckled the Coyote.
