Family Chicken Feud Turns to Gun Battle

[girl gone mad]

BLUEWELL, West Virgina - A family meal erupted into a gun battle after a father and son clashed over how to cook chicken.


The two men argued Sunday over the best way to prepare skinless chicken for dinner.


"It started out as a physical confrontation, but it escalated until both of them were shooting at each other," Detective Sgt. A.D. Beasley of the Mercer County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Sauteeing vs. grilling...there are issues to be hashed.

6. Obvious Bush supporters. Just more fowl play from those wacky republicans.

Too bad they could not afford to buy two pots for one chicken with that big Bush tax cut.

16. I thought the same.

Maybe the solution is to give these people more guns?

;)

11. Well now they can get themselves assault weapons

legally and really "show em" how to cook a chicken. Are they talking about the Bush* Cheney crowd I wonder. Funny how Cheney and Bush* are the first things to come to mind when I hear the word Chicken.

12. The reason they're cooking

Is because they shot Ma last week over the baked possum.

14. We Have Confirmed Voice Recordings From the Black Box

"The proper way to cook skinless chicken is to marinate it in a light lemon garlic butter, then bake it."

"I must respectfully disagree. The proper way to cook skinless chicken is to brush it with a honey barbeque sauce and ranch dressing mixture, then grill."

"I am taken aback by your suggestion. There is but one way to resolve this dispute."

15. Imagine if they'd been cooking ribs?

Dry, wet? Pork, beef? Name-brand sauce or homemade?
