Run Chicken Run!!!

I really have to make this a very fast post. I do have tickets for a tour in the morning of Bangalore. It leaves at the unfortunate hour of 7am. I know, by now, I have promised pictures of bangalore for WEEKS now. Everyone is probably pretty sick of my saying I am going and then seeing nothing the next day but yet another picture of a COW. This time I really am going. I have tickets booked... all I have to do is walk down to the tour agency and get on the bus. At 7AM... which means I need to leave by 6a (just to be safe) which means I have to get UP at 5am. Anyone who knows me knows this is a painful, painful thing for me to have to do. I will have to be going to bed... like an hour ago. LOL
Today, I did do some walking in a new area. I went to 80 foot road. Now you have heard of 100 foot road well that is considerably longer than 100 feet. The 80 Foot Rd runs parallell to it and is slightly shorty. This has a lot more Indian shops rather than the internation labels stores that are on 100 foot road. There is a small road that turns off the 80 foot road that had litterally tons of small stall like shops that are usually selling one single type of product but you can buy anything including a kitchen sink (they had a store that just sold kitchen sinks.).
Down this road I found a little stall that sold tours of the city... and that is where I bought my tickets for the bus tour. YAY! Fingers crossed. I also was noticing an increased variety of live stock. I saw goats and then I saw these chickens just strutting down the street. Wow I thought Chickens just out on the street like that. How interesting.
Then the very next shop I came to was the chicken shop. Where they had chickens in little coops and people were buying them... and I don't think for pets. I don't know why there were two loose chickens roaming around by the shop but now would really be a good time for them to think of a good punchline to the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" joke. Especially since if you zoom in on the Chicken shop sign it says "the tastiest chickens in the world"... I don't know. Maybe the lose ones were not making the grade? They didn't look like world class tasty chickens to me. Maybe they are chicken outcasts (like the Foster Farms commercials...)
Buy for now... I have to sleep so I can get up at the crack of dawn... (hey maybe I should have snatched up that rooster to wake me up?). Tomorrow... Tour of Bangalore...

  1. Was there a subliminal aspect to this posting being right next to the picture of the KFC? lol

  2. Hmm more of a cosmic hint... Although those chickens look mighty scrawy. They look a bit tough for even for KFC. Don't look IN the shop as you walk past. You might see some chickens meeting their maker. I really feel sorry for the chickens.
