The silly seconds of your life when the glimmer on the asphalt makes you stop unexpectedly, move deliberately, and think philisophically.

The Big Chicken
This is the most famous landmark in the city that I grew up in. I'm not kidding! It was even a Jeopardy question ladies and gentlemen. We were beaming with pride as Alex Tribec revealed the answer behind the little blue screen!
I feel I've just gazed upon the poultry of the gods. Glorious.
Actually you're lucky. My hometown just has a stupid Niel Armstrong museum, because it happens to be where stupid Niel Armstrong is from. "He walked on the moon." "Fine. Rub my nose in it."
That is possibly the saddest thing that I've ever seen.
I am so, truly sorry that your had to grow up there.
But I like the directions in the linked article - "Way past yonder, where the ol' Jenkins farm burned down. Turn left where the two-headed cow was born. Then right through the shadow of the chicken!"
Ok, your hometown is known for a chicken. Nice. My hometown is famous for fruitcakes. Yuck! Screw the fact that my hometown was the first to ever find oil West of the Mississippi River...we make damn good fruitcakes (http://www.collinstreetbakery.com/). Can I get a yee-haw?
My hometown is known for its moonshine production. I am proud of our hidden distilleries cranking out undrinkable fuel.
Kara--have you seen the giant peach that stands proudly alongside I-85 like a plump, pink ass mooning the world? I think it is in SC. Now that is a great landmark!
You have a Kentucky Fried Chicken in your hometown? I'm so jealous. We had three Dairy Queens for many years and nothing else!
Queenie can vouch for me on this one... Our hometown was so small, the kids would cruise the Kroger parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights because there wasn't anything else to do.
Harleywriter - glad you like it! who wouldn't want their nose rubbed in moondust? not many of us get that chance. :P
KOM - It's actually a very large suburban city of Atlanta, but we're still proud of our chicken. But we do use it to give directions - in fact, I live about 1.5 miles southeast of the Big Chicken!
Rachel - hello fellow Atlanta girl!
Jerky - I'll get one in mail to you - what size?
Hatleyman - Yee Haw! At least if y'all were ever under attack and had to stay in a bomb shelter for months, you'd have something to eat. that stuff doesn't go bad!
Sassafrass - Yes I've seen the big peach! I think it's near Rockhill, SC! That's hilarious! Moonshine...nice!
Lady Diane - It's actually a very large city. We just have a small town feel sometimes. It's nice. But 3 Dairy Queens? Quit bragging!
Byrdnest - Agreed! Chik-Fil-A's moooving into the #1 spot for chicken!
Seriously? You tell me how much and I'll send you the money. I love silly stuff like that. You don't see crap like that anywhere else in the world. There's no Big Chicken in Prague. God bless America! :)

My poor, poor Kara.

Priceless.
Kara -
Shameful, but true, isn't it? We Atlanta raised girls just have to suffer. :-)

Dammit, now I MUST have a "Big Chicken" t-shirt!

The yardbird doesn't stand a chance here in the the south. The Chik-Fil-A cow is winning... hoofs down.
Jeremy - Jealous aren't you?

Hell yes I am jealous... we just don't grow them like that out here in Utah. Must be something in the corn...
