There I was criusing down East Linclonway in Cheyenne Wyoming today at lunchtime. On the side of the road were these people in chicken costumes in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken. As I got closer I realized it was PETA, the People for the Ethical Treament of Animals.

I have sworn for years that if I ever encounterd these idiots in person that I would go in and get some chicken just ot eat in front of them, so I pulled right in. I was the only car in the parking lot just before noon, and the only customer in the place, much to the delight of PETA. I asken for a small serving of chicken and the manager asked "Are you with them?" pointing at the morons. "No, as a matter of fact I am going to go picket them!" I responded. He asked "regular or crispy" processed my order and said "On The House, go get em". So I did. Many of my FReeper FRiends know that I can be a handfull when I picket leftists, and this was no exception.

I proceeded out to my truck, and like the well prepared FReeper that I am, I came up with a large cardboard box and a giant black marker. I cut up the box, taped it up to make a sign and then in big black letters I wrote "IGNORE PETA, EAT CHICKEN". I then grabbed a drumstick and proceeded to ruin their party.

I stationed myself on the sidewalk a comfortable distance up traffic from them and started my protest. Holding my sign with one hand and gnawing on a drumstick. It was fun, and their leader was not amused. He came up to me whining something about not caring about chicken cruelty and I said to him point blank "LEAVE ME ALONE". The was not good enough for this PETA puke so he continued to stand at a safe distance and try to talk some sense into me. What he didn't know was that I am well versed on PETA and was laying for him.

"So what to you have against PETA?" he asked, so I told him that they there are right up there with commie eco-terrorists in my book (while gnawing on a drumstick). Then I would yell out to the passing cars "Finger Lickin Good!" and wave my drumstick in the air.

This leftist PETA group leader obviously had never encountered a FReeper before, so he tried the dialog approach. LOL! He told me all about him being an employee of PETA and was from Virginia. He was on a 15 state tour and had about 10 college chicks with him (He was in his mid-20's and wasn't there just for the chickens I guess). Well, a real live EMPLOYEE of PETA, and I'm standing there gnawing on chicken. Opportunity knocking, time to sieze the day.

"Don't you care about the welfare of chickens?" he asked. "Nope" I said as I threw the drumstick bone in the truck and grabbed a thigh, extra crispy. "My turn" I said, "What about those PETA employees that just got caught throwing 30 or so dog and cat carcasses in a dumpster?". "They don't work for PETA anymore", he replied. "Where is the naked woman in a cage? Come on, your PETA, lets see your naked woman in a cage". "So your from Virginia, well son, this is Wyoming. Are you brain dead?" He was speechless, LOL!

The whole time this is going on, the good citizens of Cheyenne, Wyoming were cruising by. Then they came for chicken. I would see a ranch vehicle approacing and hold up my sign and chicken thigh, yelling "Finger Licken Good!". The brakes and turn signal would come on and here they came, yelling at PETA as they entered the parking lot and walked into the building. Then they would exit with a drumstick in their hand and yell at the PETA people some more. In 15 minuets the parking lot was full and the driveup had a line. I was having fun pointing that out.

Then the press showed up. Two newspaper photographers showed up, running all over the place snapping photos. They loved taking pictures of me gnawing on that chicken. LOL! They would line me up with all those chicken costumes in the background.

What a hoot! Thanks KFC!

PETA packed up and left.
