Chicken Facts


Today for lunch I am having a delicious chicken chop salad. I like chicken chops almost as much as I like pork chops. While I'm eating, let me share with you some interesting chicken facts.

Fact #1: Did you know that chickens evolved from dinosaurs? It's true. Cavemen couldn't get enough of buffalo dinosaur wings. Actually they could get enough. one wing could serve a whole village.

Fact #2: Chickens aren't necessarily chicken. They don't go looking for a fight but once challenged, they hardly ever back down. ...especially if they've been drinking.

Fact #3: The chicken crossed the road because it was free ranging. Chickens like to wander. They don't like to be cooped up. Wherever they hang their hat, they call home. Sometimes you can see them hitch rides on freight trains with their bindles on a stick.

Fact #4: The chicken came first. Then he looked around, realized that he was the first to arrive so he waited out front until the egg showed up.

Dear Ellen,

I found something that just might make your day. I'm not sure if you read these...but I hope you do. There is a gentleman that my husband works with that has taken the music from Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" and made his own song called "Chicken Back". It is hillarious. SInce I know how much you love Justin Timberlake...I thought of you on this one :) The only thing I know about him is that his name is Purnell. I tried emailing a link to you...but I can't get your email to work so I guess you will have to go to You Tube to find it. If you type in Sexy Back Chicken into the search engine it will pop up under a guy named Batman something...that's him. It's well worth the trouble of finding it.

I hope it brings a smile to your face!! Thank you for being a part of my everyday!

Love
Kristy Winfrey

Ellen,
You chopped up a chicken for lunch? Animal slotererererer, er. I cant spell. Anyhow Im kidding. If you like Chopped Chicken Salad you'll love chopped chicken potpie salad. It's really good. I see your drinking soda out of a plastic cup but the salad is on a china plate. Was your dishwasher backed up you had to dig into your china cabnet and your party plates and cups? I also see your pills, you should have a bag on cheetos or pudding with those. Not together but I like saying I had cheetos and pudding with my lunch.

Nice Chatting

Hi Ellen: Loved your show today (just like always). I was glad to see Josiah on the show, I took a liking to him right off and felt horrible that he was voted off Idol. Hopefully he will be able to progress without being an American Idol. You gave him a good head start. I think you are such a wonderful person, you always seem to root for the underdog and you see the good qualities in them and try to help them succeed. You are a genuine good person and I'm glad you share yourself daily with us. I even TiVo you sometimes when I watch the show so if I am having a bad day on the weekend I turn you on and you make me laugh and smile even on your days off. THANK YOU.

I would probably skip your lunch today and just eat the vitamins and drink the drink. Chicken should not be chopped---I can chew it myself.

Keep smiling !!!!!

Hi Ellen!

Thanks so much for having Raheem Devaughn on. I LOVE him! He is so underexposed. He has not come to Jacksonville, Fl yet, I had to drive to Atlanta to see him in 2006.
Anyway, thanks for giving him some attention!

dear ellen!how inspired I am to see Josiah on your show! You are an outstanding example for us to follow: by giving generously, and graciously, and caring!I was so crushed I cried when he didn't make it on the american idol!I worked a labor ready employment agency with homeless people; I am aware of their journeys. this young man is so talented - and I recalled Justin Timberlake discovered a girl on U tube - Ellen you are a success at everything - as you are good energy flowing! take Josiah on - start a new venture. anyway, hello from Loveland, Colorado Sincerely, Karen

Hi Ellen

Here is something I thou you would like

This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2... What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4.. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

Hi This was sent to me I thought it was pretty funny.

A blonde and her husband are lying in bed listening to the neighbor's dog. It has been in the neighbor's backyard barking for hours.
The blonde jumps out of bed and says, 'I've had enough of this!' She puts on her slippers and goes downstairs.
The blonde is gone 15 minutes, then comes back up to bed.
Her husband says, 'Honey, what have you been doing? The dog is still barking.'
The blonde says, 'I put the dog in OUR backyard; let's just see how THEY like it!'

Hi Ellen I have been signing up to win the Arcada. It says I will get a confirmation back. I have never gotten one. so I am not sure if I am in the running to win the car. Is there something else I should be doing? I hope you feel better real soon. They say eat a clove of garlic at the first sign of a cold or sore throat, have you tried this. Or warm water and honey and ginger for your throat? I loved your show when you used the signs. That was so cool. Take care we love you , GET WELL SOON.

You didn't even give the chicken you had for lunch time to cross the road! (SMILE)

I wonder what Jessica Simpson would say about the "Buffalo Dinosaur wings"?

Ellen, I have a question: Where can I find a clip of where you ate chocolate cake out of a flowerpot and what was that cook's name? I remembered I like how you reacted to eating all of the different foods. I think there was lots of smoke/steam in the episode. That syringe idea for the pancakes seems like a good idea for next time I get to make them. I think you have my email by reading this to send me back your answer to my question. (if not i'll be coming back to ur site everyday) =]
