Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Just north of Toronto...

...The chickens sprung themselves!
Run, little fowl-y critters! Be free!

From the Toronto Star online:

Escaped chickens snarl Hwy. 404
Mar. 9, 2006. 10:02 AM

A number of live chickens were sprung loose from their cages this morning after a poultry transport truck tipped over on Highway 404 in Newmarket.

The driver, who was unhurt in the accident, was on the Green Lane westbound on-ramp to Highway 404 southbound when the accident occurred around 8:30 a.m.

Passing motorists gawked as chickens sprinted across the road and ran helter skelter along the grass median.

The ramp will likely remain closed until 11 a.m. for a clean-up because of fuel spilled from the truck.

Another trailer is on it's way to pick up the roaming birds.

But think of it -- how many other people could go home and announce, "Today I caught errant chickens on the highway"?

The only way it would be funnier is if it were monkeys. Or badgers.
