Chicken Scissors

Posted: Oct 10, 2007 @ 6:05PM 19 replies

The other day, Scarry movei was on TV. I watched the opening, in which I spied a knife rack. My first thougth was are there any Chicken Scissors in there. So my question is do you Junkies find your selves looking for Sigler related items in the media. As a tangent to that how often do you find your self thing Sigler did that first.

I mostly find it in books that I read, like when I read H. P. Lovecraft's "At The Mountains of Madness" I thought, "Wow! This is like an audio documentary about EarthCore!" and other such examples I have forgotten...

I'm always looking for real stuff, stuff you see every day, that could be used in an intersting and logical way. I think that helps makes the stories more realistic. Chicken scissors, man, those things give me the creeps. Almost as much as the Amish.

You have to admire a man who can take an everyday object and make it freak people out. Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike did it in Gozu; after watching that, I went home and threw away all my ladles. I can't touch the things anymore after what I saw there. -- The ways of the Lord are often dark but never pleasant.

The chicken scissors incident was rough but when it comes down to it, using it was about accessibility and efficiency. Viewing it clinically, as a surgeon would an amputation, the act of using the chicken scissors was really inexorable on Perry's part rather than spectacular. That's not to say it doesn't make me want to lose my lunch, though! But I digress...hunting knives used to make me think of Rambo, but after listening to Ancestor I am scarred (yes, congrats Scott). Now, I have visions of Magnus thanking one of those bad boys. *shudder*

Yea, everyday stuff can make for the scariest moments. My wife didn't like hearing the song "Time is on my Side" for quite a while after watching the movie "Fallen".

You should do something gross with a computer mouse, then. It might keep me off-line a little bit if every time I touched it it made me gag. um, second thought.... this post never happened.... --kevin

My science teacher always has a shelf full of odd things...including a pair of chicken scissors, which I can't tell whether it's blood or rust on them o_0

Yes....I find myself driving through areas and thinking of what great plot line could go here, where the chicken scissors are, and if the scientists running secret experiments are in that old warehouse. Oh yes, and how terrified Scott would be....I just passed an Amish buggy....

I know that they are useful for cutting up chicken, and saving yourself from an infection of triangles. But I can't look at a pair of scissors without winching. I wish I was an antibody, and you were a bacterium, then I could blow you away with my completment.

Twitter is interesting when you follow crazy, horny people.

Be careful about who you mess with there crackheads! While your obsessing about the buttons and zippers on your uniforms, the Amish are going to non-violent you to death. By the way, I passed off Amish baked goods as my own for about 10 years so I owe those ladies my reputation for fine hospitality. Tastes Like Chicken

The Amish in The Silk Code book/podcast are very advanced in genetics and have a bug powered Internet. There was a line in one of the Thieves World books about being just as dead if killed by an unbreakable sword as by a sharpened stick
