Default rubber chicken

Ok. So I got my first famous rubber chicken today. Now what? Ideas? Stuff it with a colorful rag? Fill it with water? Blow up a balloon in it? Poor thing doesn't look too happy.

P.S. My wife suggested using a big pot of soup with fake vegies, an old shoe, and whatever else. A chicken in every pot?

Stuff it with rags??? Fill it with water??? Shove a balloon inside it and blow it up???

My Gawd man, Don't torture that poor thing. What you have is one of the BEST/Greatest comedy elements of ALL TIME. Show it some respect.

There are 2 things that are guaranteed to put a smile on a person's face,,,one being a RED nose and the other,,,,the Rubber Chicken. A Whoopee Cushion is high in the ranks I'm sure but we won't go there.

"Blow Up A Balloon In It?"? Why, I oughta,,,,,,
(I never thought of that one before) =O)

Honestly, Everyone loves a rubber chicken.
Have fun with it (Mine's name is TRIGGER)

If it isn't happy, then tickle it to make it laugh.

If you're happy and you know it, flap you wings!

These are old stand by's but you can get your chicken it's own wardrobe

Hawianin [sp?] shirt --Hawiann chicken
blue cord - Chicken cord on Blue [sorry not sure of the french spelling]
cowboy hat and vest - chicken with ranch dressing
biker jacket - biker chick
I sure there are others but these are good for one liners

Produce it.

Starting at the toes, roll the chicken up as tightly and compactly as possible and then put a rubber band around it. Keep it in your pocket, and when the moment is right, put it in your hand and slip the band off. Concealing the chicken in your hand.....
.....This is how I do it. Find someone well dressed, and pretty straight laced. Comment about their nice suit, vest, what ever. Then; reach into the coat, to look at the lining, note, ASK permission! Thrust the hand in containing the chicken, and then unroll it, and produce the chicken. Maybe ask if the have any mashed potatoes in their pocket...
It works for me. its also a great thing to produce from any thing. Magic trick, Take it on your next service call and pull it out of the top of the spinet. They'll NEVER see it coming.....

Good luck.
Scruffy

Hey, I got one,,,,

Scruffy said "PRODUCE" It and I thought 'Chicken ain't in the produce aisle at the grocery'.

SO,,,,why not hold it up high and recite your favorite poem (like Mary Had A Little Lamb). Have the kids recite it with you and tell 'em y'er rubber chicken loves Poultry (Poetry).

Ok, so that was pretty 'FOWL'.

Palm a superball in your hand and act as if y'er chicken is choking. Ask, "What's the matter Charlie? Hair Ball?", then let the superball drop and bounce away and say, "Nope, looks like it was just a "FOWL BALL".

OK,,,,OK,,,,,I'll quit before they get that Officer O'Hare fella at Scruffy's house out after me. I'll simply end with a couple Chicken jokes......

Why'd the Rubber Chicken cross the road???
He wanted to STRETCH his legs

Why'd the Cow cross the road???
'cause it was the Chicken's day off

Why'd the bubblegum cross the road???
'cause it was stuck to the chicken's foot

What did the chicken do when she saw a bucket of fried chicken?
She kicked the bucket!

Keep A Shine On Y'er Spurs!

15 minutes from my house is Fitzgerald GA. These chickens are whacha call "street smart" and almost never get run over. They own the town and will refuse to tell anyone why they cross roads. They wonder why humans drive on them.

those chickens are not very rubber or funny. I want to do a very serious dove presentation and end up with a rubber chicken. Magicians are too serious anyway.

Just to let you know. I do use those eggs to juggle and they are GREAT! I recomment them to everyone. You must see the faces of the audience when you juggle with them. The eggs look so real. And you should also see the fases when one falls and bounces away. Ha ha got you all
