In light of recent news, let us set aside our silly podcasts and Ninja Turtle appraisal and take a moment to celebrate the human spirit. Let’s not delude ourselves with nihilistic doomsday predictions, humanity: we are pretty darn-tootin’ great.
And for only $10.99, this greatness can be yours to cherish forever! From the Earth to the Moon, Tom Hanks’ brilliant 12-part love letter to the Apollo missions, is now sickeningly cheap on Amazon.com. If you’ve ever found yourself staring wistfully at the full moon, marvelling, as the honking drivers behind you shout “GREEN LIGHT, MORON”, that our little species could get so far, you owe it to yourself to watch this uplifting, heartbreaking and occasionally hilarious series. My friends assure me it is officially on the list of Pop-Culture Moments In Which A Grown Man Is Permitted To Cry, right between The Time Traveller’s Wife and the ending of Terminator 2.
We now return to our regularly scheduled discussion topic: donatello from tmnt or the professor from honey i shrunk the kids who is the better mechanic???Please leave your replies below.
Neil, Buzz, Michael, if any of you choose to celebrate your accomplishment with a quiet night indoors reading an obscure Australian/Canadian comedy page: we salute you.
Here at ThatChickenSite.com: The Official Website of ThatChickenSite.com, we have plenty to be proud of. A Really Very Excellent Podcast. A few million fooled Star Wars fans. Several wasted seconds of Noam Chomsky’s time. Not to mention (but mentioning anyway) the satisfaction of bringing a little extra fun into people’s lives for nearly a decade.
I think, by this point, you’re seeing my argument.
And so we return an older, wiser, but rejuvenated Chicken Site.com, more open to frequent shorter posts, new writers, community interaction and not spending four hours trudging through HTML in Windows Notepad just to post a freaking update. Willing, in short, to admit the rest of the Internet might be on to something with the heathen hanky-panky of “blogging”.
Take heed, presently-absent readership. No hurdle, practical or ethical, will stop us from winning you back.
I don’t know if you’re aware of what the word ‘pedantry’ is, but basically it’s when you force your own high-minded knowledge and life-regulations on other people, such as condescendingly rubbing people’s faces in the meaning of the word ‘pedantry’.
To further illustrate the concept for you before tearing those little training wheels right off, I could perhaps explain that George F. Walker wrote a play once called “Zastrozzi: the Master of Discipline”. I could also elucidate you regarding the play’s staging last summer at Granville Island’s prestigious Waterfront Theatre.
Local Celebrity level Vancouver Actors were in this thing, and the most Locally Celebrated one of them all was named Marco Soriano. He played Zastrozzi – the coveted title role.
I wasn’t in this play. But I did get in there with familiar TRC faces James Simpson and Mike Cope to KILL OFF Marco Soriano, and document the grizzly aftermath.
What you have in front of you is the resultant YouTube’d film – almost 40 minutes in length and almost 4 of those actually amusing.
Alastair: As we bask in the jocular afterglow of Inappropriate Website Replacement Day, Amateur Bowling Club USA’s war against the devious Enfield Bowling Enthusiasts rages on. Facebook users (or “Facesimiles”, as they prefer to be known) can help forge the continuing saga of New Hampshire’s second largest militant religious bowling cult by signing up today.
Thanks to James Simpson, Michael Cope and Andrey Summers for graciously letting us brand the Rubber Chicken label upon on their prior hard work.
First amongst the new batch is the Land of Canoes Torso Concealer. Such is the overpowering chirpiness of this colourful, yet tastefully understated t-shirt that drawing it physically gave cartoonist extraordinaire Andy “Klobber” Webb a headache. Don’t let his sacrifice go unrewarded – order today!
Update: By popular demand (hi Mum), the shirt is now also available in a naughty-word-free version, for those who prefer their t-shirts obscenely colourful but not colourfully obscene. Conservative but flamboyant gay men now have no reason not to own one. Jawsome!
Next on the rolecall is the timeless Quack Cap, now with a freshly revised URL and 50% more timelessness. You’ve learned why the sun shines, now shield yourself from the answer!
And, er, if it’s all the same with you, I’d rather not talk about the third item. Some scars take longer to heal than others.
Here we are in Paris, France, enjoying ourselves at the expense of what we at ThatChickenSite.com naively consider your entertainment. (This chicken, purchased in Barcelona, Spain, represents everyone else’s motivation, which always leaves when I do. It’s an awkward metaphor, yes. Let’s not dwell.)
Upon returning, it’s time for a long-overdue all-star action makeover. TRC has transformed considerably under this design’s iron dictatorship, virtually into an entirely new site twice over. The time has come, the walrus said, to catch the fuck up already.
That means stripping the operation down to its pasty white foundations: silly movies, the nitpicking of obscure early 90s cartoons, and anything else that maintains the sense of fun that has made this site such a joy to work on (when we could be bothered), over the last seven years. Anything not serving the Prime Directive will be unceremoniously swept under the couch or tweaked with enough reckless historical revisionism to give George Lucas violent convulsions.
The podcast shall bounce back for a second, more sketch show-y season. Shed no tears; we’ll try to space episodes more evenly between other material. The last few months of podcast-podcast-podcast was a necessary evil – a refreshing break from spelling and punctuation, and hopefully one you enjoyed. But it was just a phase. Like puberty, but with canoes in place of erections.
And did I mention regular updates?
Ha ha ha, no, I most certainly did not.
The Rubber Chicken (www.n-chicken.net) respects the privacy of its readers in compliance with the Federation Trade Act (CMWTH 1935). Please contact our legal department for more information. The client in question has contacted us and would like to add that she is not a bald man with stubble.
Firstly, it’s high time I acknowledged our Star Wars fan readership:
Hello.
If any Rubber Chicken readers…
Actually, if I may digress for a moment (ignoring that this update is essentially one embarassingly large digression – but I digress) we really need a proper name for Rubber Chicken fans. “Achickenados” has a certain awkward charm. If you have any better suggestions, please get in touch.
Now if I’d kindly stop interrupting…
If any of you tentatively-titled achickenados live in Brisbane, Australia, you can find me queuing up for Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith at the Queen Street Mall Regent Cinemas from late tomorrow afternoon until midnight. I’ll be the bloodied corpse in the gutter, bludgeoned to death by plastic lightsabres, wearing the traditional home-made “Jar Jar Binks Sombrero” costume.

indeed, my friends.
