Why did the chicken cross the road?

winningnow
Obviously, young legs can do magic. let's celebrate the new shining chic 'uns. Old geeze(rs) never make good poultry. They should all be given a fitting Murgh Masala farewell.

broadbat
As Lara succinctly put it, if he wanted any one to cross for his life, it would be this chicken. Nothing more need said.

ruchir
It may have crossed but was a poor crossing. If you look at timestamp 2:43.45678  of this video, you will see that the chicken was fluttering its wings instead of taking off. I have crossed so many gullys and I consider myself a better crosser than this chicken.

justforkix
The chicken's MSS(Moments Spent Stationary) is very high - please check my post on why I think the chicken is increasingly useless as a crosser.

I was there! What a chicken! What a legend! For some reason this chicken seemed to have taken a particular liking towards our section. I’m pretty sure I could feel him looking me in the eye and raising his beak as I saluted. Even on this monumental day people cribbed about his crossing. He didn’t care. I didn’t care. We didn’t care. It was very special for the chicken and for me.

caughtnbowled
Must we raise such questions? In this time when a chicken of our farm has achieved something, let's all hold hands and sing the national anthem

vincent
I think the credit of this crossing must go to the Mother Hen standing on the other side, encouraging the chicken all through its crossing. The chicken would not have done it but for this.

dlee1
it is sheer arrogance on the part of the chicken, to leave the older hens who r miles ahead of it...crossing may be important but what's more important is the ability to lay eggs and yell a good cock-a-doodle doo.

ShortSquatleg
I am willing to wager that this will be the last crossing of the chicken and will change my name to SkinnyChickenLeg if I am proven wrong.

CLRJames
What is wrong in chicken crossing the road? Our culture is not prone to realistic chicken representations. We must view the chicken in our Indian idiom. Can a Stuart Little cross the road the same way? Can Horton cluck the same way? We must all be hyper like the chicken and we will become real.

Poochandi
if the great sappal saar along with his sreeleaders including Pee Pee saar takes any credit for this crossing, I will bash them up and dance "Aithalakka…Kumthalakka".

The neighbourly, flexible Mehta Aunty lives across the road. We all want to cross.

No wonder the intelligent chicken too is going the hedge-funds way! Notice the hedges across the road. It will be all guts and glory or nothing in those hedges!

*phew*

after an arduous journey through multiple fora, running into several dead threads, sub-topics, sub-sub topics, blind alleys, deep abysses, i managed to locate the original thread of this chicken's life. DG was a lot more fun then.

Hilarious!

Why

An interrogative word that can be used to ask any question, relating to GC or not relating to him, responsible or irresponsible. But it can be used as a noun, adverb, conjunction, as well as interrojection. While it is clear that you have used it as a interrojection, one must also be aware of the other possibilities. One why does not a team make.

did

The past tense of the verb do. It means the complete accomplishment of a task. Given the time frame, I agree with you here. But it remains to be seen whether the whole taks was achieved or we are speaking prematurely. In the latter case, you will have to change the verb, or the tense.

the

A definitive article. You are talking about one entity. Others like Lalchand Rajput have been precluded without being tried out. IMO that does not constitute a position beyond bias.

chicken

This, as we know, is Gallus domesticus, a domestic fowl. However, people usually mean young when they say chicken. For older specimens of this species, we generally use rooster or hen. If this is not a carefully hidden affront to SRT and SG, I do not know what is. Besides, when it comes to cricket and Chicken, the only name that comes to mind has no major accomplishments at all. Mark Chicken's cricinfo profile <http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/australia/content/player/4879.html> says that he is yet to play a first class match. They don't even know when he was born, or whether he is still alive. Besides, if we are discussing chicken, why not Alan Lamb? Even Ham Lambert (1910-2006), the Irish cricketer, has a better, more proven record than chicken:

9 17 2 213 69* 14.20 0 1 5 0

cross

This can be anything: christian symbol, death structure, going somewhere, a move in boxing, an activity in the stock exchange, breeding etc. IMo it is a huge stretch of the imagination to associate it with running between the wickets.

the

See above.

Road

The dictionary describes it as "a long, narrow stretch with a smoothed or paved surface, made for traveling by motor vehicle, carriage, etc., between two or more points; street or highway." But it can also have nautical associations: sheltered waters near the shore are often called roads or roadsteads. It can be under the ground (paths in mines are called roads). Then of course Indian cricket can be railroaded. IMO the use here is in an abstract sense. Let us wait and see which direction it takes, whether the chickens come home to roost.

Great going DGians ... Let the new financial year make Dex's dream come true...
In the meanwhile, how about doling out those stock options to the rest of the DGians too

Dhoni

It's important send the chicken across the road - coz sometimes, people neglect the curry.

Ponting

If you are questioning the chicken's integrity, you shouldn't be standing here.

Kumble

Only one chicken has crossed the road within the spirit of the roads.

Ganguly

The chicken has crossed over 1000 roads last year and I don't know why it was made to cross again. I hope the chief chicken farmer is listening.

Dravid

Who is this chicken? Last I checked, this chicken wasn't featured in any of the Indian poultry annals.

Tony Greig

I think no road that has not been crossed by Bradman is worth crossing.

Harbhajan

I did not call it a chicken. I asked if it needed to check in.

Sreesanth

It has gone to deliver the letter I wrote to God.

Manjrekar

It is never good to be a sitting chicken no one dares to talk about.

Hayden

You got a witness now, chicken. It's * thing to cross and you know it.

Sidhu

Crossing is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.

[LosingNow]

Pip:
EGGZELLENT!!

Absolutely loved the Sidhu, Ponting, Kumble, Hayden and Sreesanth ones.

How about something with "transition, yoga, chicken, road, sreesanth"?

Eddo Brandes( the real chicken farmer)

What? Who? Who mentioned something abt the chicken farmer? I am here...........and why do the chicken need to cross the road, when I am myself at the cross-road of my career.................wondering whether I should join the ICL or chicken out?! 

[achutank]

achutank:

ok so the chicken crossed the road and looks like only the heavyweights opinions about it matters. 

[dhruvdeepak]

sure, we can make a big hulabaloo about the precious chicken crossing the famous road.
but what about on the other side?
the real catalyst for this event is none other than JFK, standing at the other side of the road, shouting:
"AAA FIRANGI AAA"

[RicePlateReddy]

Who said the following?

1. The chicken did not cross the road. It was thrown like a javelin across the road.

2. The chicken was not allowed to cross the road just because it is my son. The chicken successfully crossed the road one day in 2005 when no one else was crossing the road.

3. When the chicken crosses the road it reminds me of how I used to cross the road.

4. I just saw the chicken crossing the road. It looked like it had swallowed a goat.

5. Man it don't matter when the chicken decides to cross the road. The score is still zero!

6. The chicken has the nous to cross the road. Ergo, it crossed the road.

Great stuff by all.

I also love this classic stuff - similar to CLR's version of Kban.


Andersen Consulting  (now known as Accenture)

Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting ,in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.

You bet. I remember couple of chicken who paid a couple of hundred million dollars each just to find there was not much of a change. This is what worries me about Obama and Clinton who bank their future on age old marketing buzzwords like "change" and "experience". May be poitlics are catching up with business.
