(i hope you don't take offense a bit of blackened chicken humor, these serious discussions sometimes need a little lightness!) chicken and guacamole IS serious discussion... i would rather eat a good MOLE [] (which is made with chicken) than merely dip some gringo chips in some simple guacamole [] making real mole [forget the cans] requires some serious culinary skills you know... making guacamole only requires an aggressive instinct to smash [avocado] brains into pulp (aka guacamole) -gg which reminds me that some of the inhabitants of this here thread possess such instincts -albeit somehow appeased- by the magic that the voodoo priests of psicoloco therapy exorcise upon them.... -ggggg

No, I don't take offense at blackened chicken humor. But I also like uplifting chicken survival stories even more! Here is one: Man saves chicken with mouth-to-beak April 16, 2005 COLLBRAN, Colo. -- First there was Mike the Headless Chicken, a rooster that survived for 18 months after having its head lopped off with an ax. Now, western Colorado has a new chicken survival story, this one involving a man who claims he saved his fowl by giving it mouth-to-beak resuscitation. Uegene Safken says one of the chickens in his young flock had gotten into a tub of water in the yard last week and appeared to have died. Safken said he first swung the chicken by the feet to revive it. When that failed, he continued swinging and blowing into its beak. "Then one eye opened. I thought it was an involuntary response," Safken said. The chicken's beak opened a little wider, and Safken started yelling at it: "You're too young to die! "Every time I'd yell at him, he'd chirp," Safken said. Mike the Headless Chicken survived a beheading in 1945 in Fruita, Colo. Afterward, Mike could go through the motions of pecking for food, and when he tried to crow, a gurgle came out. His owner put feed and water directly into Mike's gullet with an eyedropper. Scientists examined the chicken and theorized Mike had enough of a brain stem left to live headless. He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel. boston.com
