Who likes the Thunderchickens?

[Ryan Dognaux]

Thunderchickens have a great team - awesome robot, great animation, cool looking shirts I'd love to have a Thunderchickens shirt... I'd be willing to trade one of my cyber blue shirts for one of them if any of you thunderchickens are willing

Hello...

I need one order of Thunderchicken, extra crispy.
Yes, I would like fries with that.

OK... go ahead and super-size it.

What, only $2.17!? Sweet.

This confused our student rep and he was unsure if he should decline. That is where the "Ummm .... I don't think so????" came from. Anyway, I thought I would share that story with all of you.

The best (funniest) part of the story was added by our Captain on the field. The 217 student could not see Paul, so one of the "fully dressed" chickens stood up and frantically shook his head back and forth to signal "No". Most of us could not see it in person, but the replay is hilarious!!!!!

I think the whole event will be remembered as a funny moment, not a negative GP moment!

LoL Gotta love them chickens, I used their those little rubber chickens they were giving out to reset our soleniods on our suspension after each match on friday and saturday of nats.

Most handy tool I think they've invented since the screw driver.

I'm a bit surprised that neither of the Swandos have appeared in this thread yet...

Hey, give me a break! I had 8 hours of class today!

Ryan, I'll trade with you if you go to IRI or the Kettering Kickoff. I'd love a Cyber Blue shirt.


I'd just like to add that it's an honor and a privilage to have been on team 217 since the beginning of time (1999). My FIRST experience has been a leading focus to my life, and the ThunderChickens have helped me through some tough times. I'd like to stand up and thank my awesome team, and shout, "I'm Proud to be Chicken! A THUNDERCHICKEN!!!"

[Lisa Perez]

Woo hoo! I love my homepeeps (what what Sterling Heights!). I go to private school so I can't be with them but they ROCK man!

[Paul Copioli]

Oh young Lisa ... We don't care if you go to private school, we don't care if you are home schooled .. If you live in Macomb County, especially Sterling Heights, you are more than welcome to be a Chicken. But your a Juggy and that's cool, too.

The Thunderchickens are awesome. Really great animation, btw.

Besides, if I said anything bad about you guys, Chelsea would kill me. ^_~'

[Koko Ed]

Thunderchickens are a great team with alot of imagination and a great spirit. A very fun team. I hope to see more of them.

A Thunderchicken laid an egg in an elevator in my hotel! My roommate and I were trying to go down, but the one that opened was going up. There was a thunderchicken in it. We vocally contemplated whether we should go up or not. It was decided that it was going to come back down anyway, so we waved goodbye to the thunderchicken and let it go up. The same elevator came back down empty. We went inside and my rm said, "*Gasp!* Becca! The thunderchicken laid an egg!" And by God, he did. There was a pack of thunderchicken cards sitting on the short, thin edge of the box, sitting up perfectly in the middle of the floor of the elevator.

Conclusion: Thunderchickens rock!

I love the thunder chicken jokes, our team needs to do that next year.

Couldn't agree more. I thought the Thunderchickens conveyed FIRST's message in the most entertaining way of all the animations I saw.

And I will always cherish their button that the 'Chickens gave me in Houston last year.

oh come on guys, that was TOTALLY planned.
(for anyone not at midwest, theres an audio clip at http://www.swando.net/alliances.wmv)
but yes, other than the fact that i will never be allowed back on the field again, honestly, i was confused. and apparently i made paul feel horrible, and messed up our karma, but paul, if you recall, last year i do remember a particular phil replying to alliance pickings with "yea. cluck." sure, its not as bad, but you get the distinct feeling that you need to lighten up those match-picking ceremonies sometimes. very tense time, gotta keep the crowd in it.

yea, thats definately what i was going for.
