By reading the comments, many of us can identify as well! <br /><br />You, too, are that "something shiny" because just following the links in your post, I thought, "there goes my morning!" That's a good thing!<br /><br />I wonder, does Mike's fame also include his stint as the originator of the phrase "like a chicken with its head cut offJenny Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342746793201329515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671432547717724571.post-10355546017909066752011-12-04T05:51:13.456-08:002011-12-04T05:51:13.456-08:00Sheri - great post!

I can hardly wait to start a conversation with, "Did you hear about Mike the headless chicken? No really, he was in Life Magazine!"<br /><br />And now thanks to this "something shiny" I've forgotten what I originally logged into Google Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671432547717724571.post-45997070672460328392011-12-02T17:39:38.429-08:002011-12-02T17:39:38.429-08:00You mean this isn't normal?

I'm sure the neighbors heard me guffawing!<br />Your tales of wandering down lanes of headless chickens and carnie extraordinaires is absolutely a hoot! <br />I do the same thing -- daily!<br />Loved it!<br />DeborahDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010145024918694524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671432547717724571.post-58048985301338167192011-12-02T10:29:14.322-08:002011-12-02T10:29:14.322-08:00Too funny, Sheri!

OR one simply enjoys the journey (and ignores the snickers from the sidelines). <br /><br />I am crushed that after living in Kansas for years I never heard of Mike. He is a bird worth remembering.

I have actually heard of the headless chicken, but didn't know about the no poultry on Thursdays effort. I'll be interested to hear if you find it had any impact on your ancestors.Jen Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596879658994744470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671432547717724571.post-54582222098564608652011-12-02T05:53:05.546-08:002011-12-02T05:53:05.546-08:00Sheri I LOVE LOVE LOVE your posts.

Then I find something interesting in a news article and have to chase that down cause it is "kind of related" to what I was already doing. Then I see something else. What fun!<br /><br />I'll have to go Jennifer Holikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376766797515931160noreply@blogger.com
