Inspired by the classic “Chicken Lover” episode of South Park, my ex girlfriend long ago took to calling me “Chicken F*er” as a term of endearment.
That is the name under which I am listed in her cell phone’s address book.
So recently, she was visiting at her mother’s house, when I happened to dial her number. Her mother said, “Oh, your phone is ringing,” and picked up her phone to hand it to her.
At which point she saw the name, “Chicken F*er” on the caller ID.
I’m not sure if I buy Baslim’s assertion, as that would be a very intricate, difficult thing to Photoshop. Hoping to learn the origin of that photo, I did a TinEye.com reverse image search.
Because the photo has become something of a meme, there were far too many results for me to sift through. I did, however find this remarkable collection of images:

Which, of course, includes this delightful portrait of typical GoComics readers:
After Teresa’s comic I am going to turnoff my PC and be in bed by 4 AM, where all sane people are if they are to get up before the chickens. Or is it bleeep crows?
Hey I got bleeeped? Wassamatteru? Chaucer used “cock”
Get a discombulator. No calibration necessary. Call Jethro Bodine. He will tell you all the answers. But, if granny C. tries to interfere, then run like Mrs. Dryesdale
Be careful what yo wish for. my wife and her mother kept complaining about how the meat thermometers weren’t working. I found out they were submersing them in the dishwater.
Then they went out and bought an electric probe thermometer, neat all plastic gadget with batteries etc to replace the thermometers.
The next roast went into the oven with the probe inserted in the meat and the neat plastic device melted. Back to the old thermometers.
@Frogapplause: I have been to Istanbul and many other interesting places, but I’ve never been to Finland and the Baltics. They look beautiful.
@cleokaya: Oh, yes. After 10 years of travel to places like Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Serbia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Malta, DRC, and 3 extensions in my passport, I often was “selected for special processing.” The price of notoriety, I guess…
BTW, Teresa, I saw the “Girl Effect” video in the San Francisco (online) Chronicle yesterday. Very attention grabbing. Sure hope it really takes off and helps…
The great tragedy of the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s is that people assumed men didn’t also need to be liberated from their traditional roles.
Conversely, the great stupidity of so many of the guys who whine the loudest about men’s rights is that they wrongly see themselves as being the natural antagonists of women and feminism.
True feminism liberates everybody, and benefits all living things.

Worse yet, her daughter told her it was me!

i blame it on china.
too much lead in the red paint when the chinamen painted the red line on the glass thermometers.

@Flight Suit:
Your first link goes to a Google Translate page rather than the Russian original, and I don’t get the images. The original is here:

For some reason I’m getting 403 on the individual image…

Are those the classifieds in the background? And if so, why?
cleokaya over 13 years ago
If you cook as often as I do, you don’t need the thermometer, but I can tell you where to stick the probe.

Some places I’ve visited…
You must get the same questioning looks as I do when customs officials look at my passport and see stamps from Libya and Egypt.

The Old Wolf, I too have been to Malta, a beautiful country and like the people of Libya, very friendly.

@The Old Wolf,
Huh, I see that the images are, in fact, not working. Worked for me before, but not now.

I have this to say:
