Chicken-napping updateThere has been some movement in the case of my beloved missing chicken. The evil genius pirates that took him hostage have delivered a couple of communiques. The first was delivered as an image and is reproduced below.
Can you imagine anyone thinking that was even remotely funny? Then these sick bastards sent this message:
These are definitely some desperate and evil people that we are dealing with. I am pretty sure that this is not their first time kidnapping and molesting chickens. Despite the horrors that my sweet and formerly innocent chicken must be facing, I was overjoyed to find out that we would soon be reunited. This morning I rushed into work only to find this message:
Imagine my dismay? Please keep your fingers crossed that this depraved band of chicken rapers return my chicken unharmed tomorrow.

And all the traditional writers want to talk about the numbers. What number did Parker give the wine? Because if Parker doesn’t like your wine, and gives you a “bad number” the traditional writers aren’t going to suggest that people buy your wine. And that, my friends, is very bad for business. But, what about the consumers? Frankly, OMG I am about to commit a sacrilege here: some wine drinkers do not care what Robert Parker thinks.

Faithful readers of this blog know that I am a huge fan of Twisted Oak Wines. Not only do they sell some top notch juice, but they have a fantastic sense of humor, as evidenced by their rubber chicken fetish. On a recent trip to Calaveras County I adopted the cute little fella seen to [...]
