The Funky Chicken

The other night, our dear friend Tynan (and husband to The Goddess Elena) was expounding on the history of the microwave. I have no idea why. After he's had a beer or two, Tynan tends to expound on things. Unfortunately, San Geraldo (and most of the local population) has a difficult time understanding that Chesterfield accent — even when Tynan hasn't had a beer or two.

"I remember our first microwave in the late '70s," Tynan said. "The adverts actually claimed that you can roast a chicken in the cooker."

San Geraldo: "There's a band called 'Chicken in the Fucker'?!?"


Either way, that would be one funky chicken...

      Oh, there's more of Tynan and Jerry to come. A lot of interesting lack of comprehension that night.

  6. Back in the day, my funky chicken rendition turned many people into vegetarians and some people stopped eating altogether. I don't dance much anymore.

  7. I' still waiting for the internet to come up with the Funky Chicken (damned service here!!!!)... but can remember well when the ex-husband tried to bake a (wild) duck in our first microwave... pretty much like shoe leather..... duck jerky? While I'm waiting for this damned internet to work, I remember a high school class reunion where everyone kind of got in a congo line and strutted around the room flapping their arms and making clucking noises.... hey... I think we were all drinkers even way back then. Hope that thing comes up soon... my imagination is going crazy.

      Although I did the Funky Chicken, I would never do the chicken noises.

      Jerry and Tynan are a very entertaining combination. In Tynan's defense, however, I understand most of what he says!
