We’ll use the flying wedge formation.

Wear a game beak instead!

I do believe he’s chicken.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAK!

Sure hope he’s not the quarterbeak…

But coach, I AM game! About to be poached, plucked and roasted at half time. Full speed ahead!

Must be the Univ of SC quarterback.

He’d be a Detroit Lion for the first three quarters.

Poindexter has goose bumps!

He gets a flag for fouling the field.

He is so scared that all the colour has gone out of his face!

Shika, I call them as I see them. Even Col. Sander’s ( Spaceballs ) was called chicken by Dark Helmet.

A Gambel’s Quail, to be exact.

Dark Helmet: What’s the matter, Colonel Sandurz? CHICKEN?

Is this the quote you mean, Grog?

That’s the one, Shika.

Maybe Dan Quale?

Ha! see my reply @ CD! I don’t care if it were a bear, I’d still call him chicken if I saw him quivering like that, Shika.
