[btw, the 'chicken' thing is just a figure of speech and not meant to promote species-intolerance in any way, except for FO chickens of course ... there's quite a bit of chicken in myself actually, since lunchtime] Ok, i answered your question, Mr Chicken, now answer me this - Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Fascist Oligarchy? Are you now engaged, or have you ever considered being engaged, in fowl play on their behalf? If not, is your coop made out of lumber? Suppose you were building a new coop or doing a reno on the old one - would you like it if the FOs wanted to rip you off for twenty per cent extra on all the lumber you needed? Do you think some buncha mafiosos should be permitted to stand between willing buyers and willing sellers and perhaps cause you to lack the last boards on the top which would let the rain in and get your feathers wet?? 'hoser ' - it's José actually, pronounced hoh-SAY ... like in that anthem, '¿José, can you see?' ... José Seis Paquete von Holz und Säge XVII, at your service ..... ¿Got Lumber?
