When I heard it on the field, I actually got scare for a moment.

That chicken made me shudder more times than I can count. And the worst was when Mike repeatedly squeezed it and it sounded ...well, I can't even say. PLEASE never bring that chicken anywhere near me (or a microphone) again! XD

Oh c'mon Sara, you know the chicken was an awesome addition to the festivities.

I have a funny story I heard second hand/then first hand about MM and this particular chicken, but I will wait till tomorrow to tell it when I have time to write a long response.

After all the fun and interesting events that happened this weekend I'm tired, and heading to sleep.

Thanks to all who made Monty Madness a great time for all of us!!!

I got to tell you that the chicken made an appearance behind the scenes before he became known to the audience . . .

A lot of us were wearing headsets connected to walkie talkies at Monty Madness. If you've ever worn a walkie talkie headset before, you know that it is sometimes difficult to concentrate on conversations with people right in front of you when someone is talking on the headset. So at one point, I was giving some fairly complex instructions to three volunteers right in front of me when I began to hear some small mournful cries in the headset, getting progressively louder and louder and lasting longer and longer. I got so frazzled after about a minute of this or so that I shouted into my microphone "Whoever the #?@$%! that is, stop screaming into the headsets!". Just then, I glanced over at the scoring table and I saw Sarah and George giggling as Big Mike was squeezing the chicken over a walkie talkie.

All I can say is that chicken played "fowl".
