The Great and Powerful Rooster Returns to Fernbrook Resort Freelton?



The Great and Powerful Rooster Returns to Fernbrook Resort Freelton?


"The Great and Powerful Rooster is a night active day resting bird,"                                                                                       confirms Marlin Perkins, "that avoids snow because of its sissy nature."

 
“I wasn’t never even gone you sillybilly,” yawned the Great and Powerful Rooster, “I was just hibernating. I learned how to hibernate by watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom with your host Marlin Perkins.”

“Really. You really hibernate? Or are you just afraid that your footsteps in the snow will identify you and lead the Fernbrook Resort 5-0 to your coop?”        

“Hibernating,” replied Rooster. “All chickens hibernate during the winter. Just like all the other birds hibernate during the winter. That’s why you never see any birds in the winter around Fernbrook Resort. Turkeys. Penguins. Lions. Because we’re all hibernating. It’s a veterinarian approved fact.”

Perkins and Fowler's discuss the video taping of Rooster's latest antics.

“Really. So its not you playing all those petty, stupid and childish pranks between snowfalls? When the snow is shoveled or has melted temporarily away?”

“Nopey. Mopey,” Rooster smiled. “It must be some other chicken… I mean it must be someone else. That’s what I really meant.”

“Was that a Freudian slip?”

"I dizagree," zeys Zigmund Freud, " I zink zis Roozter doez made diz zlip."
“No. I don’t fall when I’m doing my petty, stupid and childish pranks. I prefer to run around randomly while quietly clucking.”

“Doesn’t performing petty, stupid and childish pranks indicate that you may be petty, stupid and childish?”


“No, no, not at all,” smiled Rooster beak-ily. “When others perform petty, stupid and childish pranks it proves that they’re petty, stupid and childish. And that means that I’m smarter than they are. However when I perform petty, stupid and childish pranks it proves that I’m smarter than everyone else. Because I get away with it. I am Great and Powerful after all…. I am Great and Powerful.”

"I am Great and Powerful," the Great and Powerful Rooster crows.

“Well if people forget that I’m sure you’ll remind them.”

‘Yes. Yes I will. Oh, and one other thing. I’m still holding my breath. And I’m going to continue holding my breath until I get a song written about me. And if someone doesn’t do it soon I am going to get even more Greater and even more Powerfuller. So much more Greater and Powerfuller that Neighbor Undesirable will have to be evicted just to make room for my giant oversized waffle.”

“Your giant oversized waffle?”

“Yes. My egg-o.”

That's no ego! It's a Fernbrook Resort management approved safety waffle
“ummm… I think that’s pronounced e-go.”

“Shut up.”

“sorry… ?”

“SHUT UP. Or I’ll hold my breath even morer.”




“Hold your breath even more-r? I don’t think you’ve been holding your breath at all. Or hibernating. You’re just chicken.”
"Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up"

“Shut up.”

“You’re still breathing!”                           

“Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up – ”

“If you’re not breathing than…” 

“ – Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up – ”

“… how come you keep talking?”

“ – Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut…”


The Great and Powerful Rooster's tough talking mid life crisis minion says, "I really like that cock," he said speaking fondly of the Great and Powerful Rooster, "And when that cock calls I immediately start coming. I rush right over to His coop. To see how I can personally serve Him. Its always an affair to remember," he sighed softly.

Waffle Related Accidents Decrease by 2% at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

Waffle Related Accidents Decrease by 2% at Fernbrook Resort Freelton


"Owwwww…" wailed little Susie Speedbag, then, after running here tongue over the ‘ouchie’ she added, "Momma, I think I hurted my mof!"


Susie Speedbag:
Permanently Disfigured in Breakfast Food Accident 
And indeed she had. While biting into a waffle the dangerous breakfast treat bit back leaving a horrendous half millimeter long gash in little Susie’s gumline.




Waffle Activist Wilma Speedbag

Said Wilma Speedbag, Susie’s mother, "I was absolutely floored… to think that a such a normally docile food could cause such a tragedy. Of course I immediately called 911 and we rushed her to the hospital… but it was too late. There was no hope for her. Oh, she survived, but she’s going to be scarred for the rest of her life. The inhumanity…" she teared up.


Weeks later Speedbag was knocked flat by an idea.

She was researching convalescent homes dedicated specifically to those disfigured in breakfast food tragedies when she came across a chat site discussing waffle related injuries.

"After reading some of the stories of waffle eaters breaking limbs and losing eyes while ploughing through a stack of waffles I realized what the problem was… in every case it was the sharp corner of the waffle that was causing injury. So I contacted Fernbrook’s Bureau That Deals with Things with Sharp or Pointy Corners and submitted my research to them."

Hector Eggo, Director of that same Bureau, was stunned by Speedbag’s research. 

"Quite honestly, we never saw this coming. Imagine… being injured by a waffle. Huh. Anyway… when someone complains to the government you have to pander to them or risk biased treatment in the Fernbrook Resort media. So we invented a new waffle, one without any sharp corners. A waffle that was completely round. We call it the round waffle. Because it’s round."

(also called a 'Safety Waffle')
But that wasn’t enough for Wilma Speedbag. She went to the Lord Mayor’s Office and asked that a law be passed, a law that banned the sale of sharp edged waffles.

"Yeah, Speedbag was here," said clerk Gertrude Gherkin, "something about waffles or whatever. Quite honestly I could care less. You play with waffles and sometimes you get cut. C’est la vie. You gotta take responsibility for the things you bring upon yourself… Anyway since we passed some stupid law and she hasn’t been back since. Thank God for small favours."


Thank God indeed.

And thanks too to Wilma Speedbag’s refusal to waffle on the dangers of waffles, since her campaign waffle related injuries have declined by almost 2% in Fernbrook Resort… and the nation is much safer for her efforts.
