TERRORISM

Terrorists Now Putting Bombs In Your Roaster Chickens

Chicken butt pluggzBecause of the damn terrorists, hobos will now have to take off the roaster chickens they use as footwear before boarding planes. In the Chicago area last Friday, a “motorist” noticed a whole roaster chicken, presumably on the road, stuffed not with innards or stuffing or golden trinkets, but with an IED, to blow up America. The bomb was defused by Authorities, and it’s a damn good thing — apparently that was one of those “unfriendly” bombs that hurts people: “Police Capt. Matthew Catania would not describe the bomb, but said it was ‘capable of causing harm to a person.’” Do not eat Roaster Chickens, ever. [Chicago Sun-Times]

    Thats not a cock we can believe in.

    Finally, a thread I can sink my teeth into.
    And, DAMN YOU TO HELL, Colonel Sanders!

  3. stankfest says at 1:46 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Stuffed with bombs is better that stuffed with killer tomatoes.

    Thank you for tagging this item with “butt plugs.”

  5. Anita Cocktail says at 1:46 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Where can I get one of those for dinner at my in-law’s?

  6. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:48 pm, June 10th, 2008

    There’s a joke in here somewhere, but I just can’t bring myslef to find it. The whole thing is just too fowl.

  7. The Real JR Revisted says at 1:48 pm, June 10th, 2008

    And thus begins the Revolt of the Vegans.

    Though with their low muscle density and their revulsion of soap, this would be a revolution easy to quell, especially once I get a few grills together in a row and start on the first batch of ribs. Best BBQ/war ever!

  8. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:48 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?

    A. TO DESTROY AMERICAN VALUES.

    Crap… I was counting on roadkill to stay financially solvent once my balloon ARM teaser rate expires in July.

  10. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:49 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …all because Barack Obama gave his wife a TERRORIST “fist bump”!

    Why do you hate America, Kenny Rogers?

  12. ManchuCandidate says at 1:50 pm, June 10th, 2008

    First those bastards took away French Fries and I said nothing
    Then they took away French Mustard and I said nothing
    Then they confiscated Hummus and I said nothing.
    Then they took my Beer Can Chicken…

  13. Serolf Divad says at 1:50 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Is the New Wonkette still banning people? ’cause, if ever there were a reason for banning someone, a foul/foul pun is surely it.

  14. tsunami says at 1:53 pm, June 10th, 2008

    my friends, maybe now you understand what
    i’ve been trying to tell you. black people love
    chicken, and now we have chicken bombs.

    where do you think they’re coming from?

  15. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:53 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Back off, Serolf! You’re not the only one who goes for low hanging fruit!

  16. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 1:54 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Not a very brave terrorist. In fact, well, I’ll stop there.

  17. edgydrifter says at 1:54 pm, June 10th, 2008

    The best part is that somebody figured a raw plucked chicken was a good place to jam a pipe bomb. Because, you know, you want to hide those things in something inconspicuous so as not to arouse suspicion.

    Things you find by the side of the road in Chicago:

    1) Soda cups
    2) Cigarette butts
    3) Butterball turkeys

  18. Kenny Rogers….gone terrist?

  19. Noodle Salad says at 1:55 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Typical Terraist Chicken from the Libruls at Boston Market, Assbombachusetts.

  20. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:55 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Advocatus_Diaboli: My point exactly!

  21. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 1:57 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I know a kid who blew his fingers off with a Cornish Game Hen once.

  22. The Real JR Revisted says at 1:57 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I suspect, though, if the IED was stuffed inside a Popeye’s Chicken, the death toll would have been outrageous. ANd yes, I would be one of the dead.

  23. RuperttheBear says at 1:57 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Nothing a little bird flu can’t fix.

  25. See? Not ALL hens are against rough secks.

  26. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:59 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …the chicken insurgency has begun! Stock up on biscuits and hot-sauce and stay off the streets!

  27. carerer says at 1:59 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Great. Now they’re going to close all the Chick-fil-a’s in airport terminals.

  28. RuperttheBear: That has the funny.

  29. Godless Liberal * says at 1:59 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I remember a time when, if you found a bomb lying around somewhere for no reason, we blamed the white, wholesome, all-American Unabomber.

  30. Supernatural_Delegate says at 1:59 pm, June 10th, 2008

    @ Serolf Divad:

    Too Late, Roaster chicken futures are down big on the day. Word on the street is that Long positions on beer contracts are the place to be since Walnuts will usher in a new era of prohibition thereby making the remaining beers increasingly valuable.

  31. WhatTheHeck says at 2:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    This is a chicken-shit way to die and
    I hope DHS casts their net far and wide to apprehend any coq-au-terroire
    laying around.

    BTW why does that chicken have a can of WD40 up its ass?

  32. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    And is it just me, or does that mottled, wrinkled chicken with the beer can just scream “John McCain Saturday Night”?

  33. TJBeck says at 2:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    don’t be fooled - if we turn our backs for a minute, the Chicken uprising will begin. Already we see they are booby-trapping corpses of their fallen.

    And they’re working on vicious alligator TEETH -> http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=mutant-chicken-grows-alli

  34. Nothing to open your eyes like a chicken on a sybian.

  35. CrunchyKnee says at 2:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I.E.D. improvised electronic deliciousness?

  36. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:01 pm, June 10th, 2008

    tsunami: NOT black people. They love them too much to give any away in the cause of blowing shit up. I think it was Harriet Christian, looking to attract enough black people into a frenzy trying to get the chicken, and then detonating it. My guess was that she was hoping “Brack” would be out to lunch.

  37. donner_froh says at 2:02 pm, June 10th, 2008

    That chicken without the bomb/beercan/buttplug is capable of doing harm to a person if, for example, dropped on his head from a sufficient height, thrown with enough force or slipped on when it was put in the path of an unsuspecting Chicagoan.

  38. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:03 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …so we are being attacked by Israel?

  39. Iggy Plop says at 2:05 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Who would have been the intended target here? I mean, who’s going to approach a plucked chicken carcass by the side of the road? Are those terrorist bastards threatening our feral cat populations? Because if you piss off the crazy old lady demographic, well, that’s just gonna spell the beginning of the end for global jihad. Terrorists watch out!

  40. General_Tso says at 2:05 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Colonel Sanders, sir, we’ve prepared the munitions. An extra crispy death to the infidels!

  41. Shypixel says at 2:07 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Insert tasteless witticism about Barry Obama, a yardbird, and a terrorist fist jab here.

  42. tsunami says at 2:08 pm, June 10th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: NOT black people. They
    love them too much to give any away etc…

    oh god…what was i thinking. you’re right, of course.
    another example of white folks knee-jerkingly blaming
    black folks for society’s ills. looks like i’ll have to
    vote for barack twice. mea culpa.

  43. The Real JR Revisted says at 2:08 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Great. Now you just made me imagine McCain naked. Jesus Christ.

  44. What no one saw was the vegetarian Wahhabist in a hemp turban sitting in the bushes nearby and cursing at his remote controller.

    Fucking gopher.

  46. freakishlystrong says at 2:11 pm, June 10th, 2008

    PurDON’T..

  47. The Colonel’s fucking pissed!

  48. weirdiowasculpture says at 2:14 pm, June 10th, 2008

    So a guy was driving down the road in Chicago, saw a roaster chicken lying by the side of the road, and said to himself, “Hmmm, I think I should report that chicken to the authorities,” and the cops actually showed up and investigated? This would never have happened when Daley the First was mayor.

  49. liquiddaddy says at 2:17 pm, June 10th, 2008

    That’s a “beer butt chicken” cousins. My brother-in-law welded me a cast iron double rack for those babies, and suggested I only use Old Milwaukie’s Finest to steam out the hen’s ass cavity. I once again realize how much b-b-q is like torture.

  50. Iggy Plop says at 2:17 pm, June 10th, 2008

    The Real JR Revisted: Carl Spackler. So right. “Hello? Anybody home? Hello, Mr. Gopher! It’s me, Mr. Squirrel. Just a harmless squirrel. Not a plastic explosive or anything. Nothing to be worried about. I’m just here to make your last hours on earth as peaceful as possible. Don’t mind this. This is doctor’s orders. You don’t mind if I just pop in there for a few laughs? That’s right. Or in the words of Jean-Paul Sartre: ‘Au revoir, gopher.’ This is going to be sweet.”

  51. choinski says at 2:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Well, then, I’d better stop fist jabbing my chicken.

  52. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 2:23 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Mmmmm….beer can chicken. So good. I wish I had a grill large enough to make it tonight.

  53. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:24 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I thought Black Muslims liked fry chicken for their IEDs.

    bitchincamaro: Hillary warned us about the bitters in Kentucky. Why didn’t we listen?

    Servo: You are watching some interesting porn my friend.

  54. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Has the “Butt Plug” tag been used before? And where is the “Anal Intruder” tag when you need it?

  55. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:29 pm, June 10th, 2008

    From the article:

    A motorist on Powder Forest Drive Friday morning noticed what looked like a whole chicken - the kind bought at grocery stores for roasting with a pipe bomb stuffed inside, police said.

    Powder Forest Drive? I assume that is in Chicago’s gay district? Which explains a lot, when you think of it.

  56. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:35 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Gay district? I though it was the fine cocaine district.

    edgydrifter: …right next to the one, lone shoe - a phenomemon I will never understand.

  58. qwerty42 says at 2:36 pm, June 10th, 2008

    This sounds even more sinister than the lite-brite menace of last year. Boston still hasn’t recovered from the attacks on traffic counters made by the police. I think that was a factor in the problems with the Big Dig.

  59. HerExcellency says at 2:46 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: If a Kentucky bitter wanted to make a food bomb they would use a head of lettuce or something. There is no way they would waste a chicken. That shits for eating.

  60. Perhaps it wasn’t really loaded with explosives but had just gone fowl.

  61. jagorev says at 3:26 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I am extremely impressed that our Wonkette actually found a picture of a chicken with what looks like an IED inserted in its ass.

  62. Brutus' says at 3:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    First our tomatoes have salmonella, then our chickens have bombs. Our food is turning against us! I knew this would happen sooner or later.

  63. 1974 (again) says at 3:31 pm, June 10th, 2008

    When I was a kid in Chicago in the 1980s, there were a couple Mafia-placed car bombings. Bombings of likely turncoats etc. Anyway, it always frightened me that we’d be driving down the expressway and suddenly the car would explode. So I always made sure to check under the seats to make sure that no one had placed a bomb there. Why I thought my dad was a Mafia target, I cannot say, but it just seemed like no one was safe in an environment like that. Clearly, I was right.

  64. jagorev says at 3:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Brutus’: I’m going to fight back by making myself a nice roasted chicken sammich on French bread (you know those French are up to no good) with a few slices of ripe red tomatoes inside. It’s a risk, but if that’s what it takes to fight the terrorists, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

    Checking further (following the link in the post) one finds that the poultry pipe bomb was found by the side of the road in Hartford, Illinois which is in Southern Illinois.

    Southern Illinois (I formerly thought it started around 159th street) is like Mississippi in the 1950s. Any burg in Southern Illinois makes Charleston WVA look like the Champs-Élysées.
