Many years ago, my wife and I bought a pair of stuffed toy chickens. They were the last two remaining on the shelf of a small-town general store, part of a larger collection of barnyard animals that had long since been sold off. We got them intending to give them to a childrens' charity.
However, when we took them home and left them to await their fate in the living room, we noticed that they both had the same slack-jawed, vacant expression most people get when they watch a lot of TV. So, instead of donating the chicken brothers, we decided to keep them and let them watch all the TV they want.
At one point, we got as a gift a little decorative bench that happened to fit the chickens perfectly. Now they sit on the bench and guard the remotes.
My wife decided to make little "jerseys" for them out of cloth scraps, and I design the logo art using coloured gel pens. Typically, we make chicken jerseys for the World Series and the Stanley Cup. The graphics are "chickenized" to make them appeal to poultry. In this case, it's the Pulletelphia Fryers versus the Chickago Chickenhawks.
My wife, one chicken brother, and I all think the 'Hawks have the best chance to win the Cup this year.
