Nobody here but us chickens...

I've been playing "Battle for Wesnoth" far too much recently. Pleasantly addictive strategy game, and I like that it's Open Source, even if I never tinker with designing my own campaigns or maps. Gaming is a wonderful distraction from the real world, and between work, teaching, and my father's health (or increasing lack thereof) there is an awful lot of real world for me to wish to be distracted from.

On a lighter note, my mother recently forwarded me a list of hypothetical answers to the question of why the chicken crossed the road. I've seen such lists before, but this one had a couple of answers that were both new to me, and amusing enough to inspire my own list:

MOXYFER MASON DAX:
Chicken? Oh, is THAT what I just chased across the road?

ONLY SHADOW KNOWS (SHAYDE):
Must have been going to the pond.<wag,wag,wag>: Ducks go to the pond, <wag, wag>: I go to the pond, <wag,wag,wag>: whatever chickens are, I bet they go to the pond too <wag!wiggle!wiggle!>!

MARIANNE VESPRY:
Why the chicken crossed is not as important as whether it was a happy free range bird that sang as it crossed...

ANNE VESPRY:
Crossing roads is unsafe for chickens, whomever is responsible for putting a road where chickens could stumble across it and be hurt is clearly negligent and Green & Vespry would like to speak to any and all chickens who may have had road crossing incidents with a view to bringing a class action suit against the aforementioned responsible parties.

Further contributions to the list are welcome!
