Description
I've tried to get him to quit about a million times, but he won't listen! He says it's the only way he can really relax, but I am afraid he is cooking his own goose! He is constantly sneaking off to my car for a cigarette or 2...and stinks up all the upholstery! I am really worried about the effect it may be having on his health...he's not looking very good these days, kind of pale and clammy! I asked him if he has some sort of plan to try and improve his health? He said he'd really like a leg up, but at the moment he's just winging it! Maybe you could try talking some sense into that head of his?

I still laugh my fanny off every time I see this and read the story! Glad you enjoyed it Robyn!!!
Rory Sagner
Thank you so much Bret! Mr. Chicken Potato Head agrees with you and is only waiting for the rest of the world to come to it's senses and take notice of him!!!
Rory Sagner
Thank you Shawna....I am so glad you can appreciate Mr. Chicken Potato Head! He goes largely unloved unfortunately. Probably the nasty smoking habit and his wrinkly skin!

i agree totally, that we have to find humor in everyday life, and laughter really down deep in our soul makes us all feel so much better.
Rory Sagner
Isn't it fun Steven? The ability of the human mind to take simple every day objects and "see" a story there? And humor is of course our saving grace! Thank you so much for your comments!

I have to admit , this is a bit scary, ha ha it would freak me out a bit if I stumbled upon it in someones kitchen . yikes
Alessandro Della Pietra

Rory Siegel replied:
Thank you Alessandro!!! I will quote your comment to those that think I just had too much vino while preparing to cook dinner one night!@!!!

Give him a break! He's a dead chicken with a potato head. If he doesn't deserve to "smoke 'em if you got 'em"... then who does?
Rory Siegel replied:
Gawd John...I am glad he cannot read this...he'd be awfully hurt by you saying that he's just a "dead chicken." He does have feelings you know! And yes, I see your point, but I cannot stand the smell of cigarettes...in my car or anywhere else!!! I've tried to get him to go out behind the house, but he's afraid of the coyotes...so he does it in my car!
Rory Siegel replied:
Ok, Mr. Chicken Potato Head forgives you and says to tell you that he is THRILLED that you featured him in the If You Can't Stand The Heat...Group! Of course, you know he really CAN'T stand the heat....as it makes his skin rather crispy, but still he appreciates the honor and wants to know if you smoke?

Nothing worse than a potato headed chicken smoking in your car. Except maybe a pumpkin headed turkey!! He looks relaxed though.
Rory Siegel replied:
Gawd....do turkeys smoke too??? Here I thought Mr. Chicken Potato Head was one of a kind!!! (He does get relaxed, but then starts to stress out again about when he might be ending up as "dinner!"

A little bit social / political Rory :) Funny and serious, intense and awesome. I would hate to have to drive your car ... V/F
Rory Siegel replied:
Now Bob, your thoughts on that I'd REALLY love to hear! I don't think you'd get to drive however.....as Mr. Chicken Potato head would most likely want to discuss his philosophy on life with you as his guest in the back seat. He leans toward Existentialism. Maybe bring a respirator?
Shane Cotter
OMG you are a FREAK! I LOVE IT! Its a classic
Rory Siegel replied:
Dear Shane, we eccentric artist types prefer the word "demented" as opposed to FREAK....LOL!
Rory Siegel replied:
I do agree however that Mr. Chicken Potato Head does have a sort of mystical and universal appeal...he is starting to get fan mail and donations to help him go to rehab!!!
