		<description>wow!

i never realized *Rhode Island Reds*
were so handsome!

:-)

don't you love their colorfulness!

i hope the ones in the story
had a fine time before being locked up again...

one taste of freedom
and
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THEM DOWN ON THE FARM?

&lt;em&gt;somepinkflowers's last blog post..&lt;a href='http://somepinkflowers.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/02/words.html' rel="nofollow"&gt;i'll be doggone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;They are beautiful birds indeed. And you make an excellent point about their taste of freedom; kind of ironic since many view high school as a prison at best and inhumane torture at worst ;)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I'm glad they left some food.  That T-shirt is pretty funny.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah the food thing made me happy as well. Not like they would've starved in those 8 or so hours, but still....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>"wasn’t this *so* much more inventive than simply throwing some balls down the Spanish Steps?"

Is that a challenge? As an italian, now I'll have to think of something and of a plausible rationale behind that, to prove we're more imaginative than those american students.

I've got it. They dropped hens? I'll drop koalas, each hugging a column in saint peter's square in rome and not letting go. That would be a protest against politicians who won't let go of their offices. How's that?

Now, the only problem is: where do I find so many koalas in italy? And also, how do I persuade them to stay there instead of going in search of some tasty eucalyptus (or, in the case o dyslexic koalas in such a holy place, Eucharist)? Glue? Hypnosis? Tell them eucalyptus is going to be distributed soon and if they get away they may lose their part?

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hah! Luigi, if that was a challenge, you've more than met it. 

But please no glue on the koalas! Poor things....

Now I'm wondering, you think some nuns could whip up eucalyptus-flavored Eucharist for the event? Leftovers could be sold at the erborista, proceeds benefiting the cash-poor Vatican? Just a thought....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I keep picturing middle aged pot bellied men chasing these chickens to catch them and I am laughing almost to hard to type!!! Oh and the clean up must have been a nightmare! I hope they go easy on the pranksters, after all it was pretty harmless.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goodness I hadn't thought of it that way. Just keeps getting funnier!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dear Michelle. Happy New Year (with a few weeks delay! but it is never too late to congratulate for happy occasions...)
I am one of your new readers, writing from Iran.
1- What do you about modest Islamic Hijab? a divine order that is given to muslims around the world in order to save their personality, beauty and fashion? International mainstream media try to create a black propaganda about this issue and you can never recognize the real truth about this... but what about looking at some interesting pictures of women wearing modern hijab? go to http://helloyahoomail.net/en
2- What do you know about Mevlana, the great Sufi Poet of Persian gulf land? did you ever know that he didn't write even a couplet of Turkish poem? http://www.persianmevlana.ir this website lets you gather valuable information on Mevlana.
3- and finally I invite you to take a visit of http://cyberfaith.blogspot.com to learn more about great Iran, the cradle of science, arts and power in the world today...

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welcome, and thanks for all these great links--I will definitely look into them!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>
