HAVE FUN & WIN BIG MONEY CONTEST:

First Prize: 85 Cents!!!

IS THIS FOR REAL ????

EGAD, IT'S Y2K!!!!

"The sky is falling!!! The sky is falling!!!" Chicken Little said,
When something bonked him on his head.
Did the sky fall? Did it really?
Or was he just acting silly???
What really bonked him on his noggin?
What sent him down the trail a joggin?
Now here's a quiz. Now here's a riddle.
What REALLY happened to Chicken Little????
You stay tuned 'cause we're not done!
This crazy contest is gonna be fun!!

Was Chicken Little at a Rendezvous when he got bonked in the head? Was he a shooter? Maybe he was the TARGET? Did his wife smack him for being out too late? Was he sober at the time? WHAT HAPPENED??? Be creative and tell me what happened. Try your hand at poetry if you like, or simply make up a funny tale.

Top prize (4th) goes to Janine Bruce for this gem:

Simple Simon met a Pie Man
going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the Pie Man,
"What do you have there?"
"Pies you Idiot!" said the Pie Man Flick

Next best (3rd prize) goes to Jim "Swamp Haug" Hayden for this one:

Chicken Little entered the Knife and Hawk contest at the rendezvous. Poor Chicken Little tried to throw a Chicken Hawk! Poor Chicken Little wasn't very smart.

Very few people entered this crazy contest. We did get a few other entries but they were not worth of the big money. Thus, we will only have two winners.
