From your new hometown who said if people don't like chickens they shouldn't come there. I hope you like chickens.

...the bird-brained comments I put up with here and on Tim's board! Not to mention "dumb clucks" ;-)

I'm guessing that chickens will offer at least as high a level of discourse.

"Old-timers" and "newcomers" alike in Stuyvesant seem unhappy (and rightly so, IMHO) with the Town Board's action in the "Chicken Matter."

This is the kind of silly petty dispute that makes so much fodder for the BritComs about "country life" (e.g. "The Vicar of Dibley" or "Ballykissangel"). Even in real life - athough it has the potential to be somewhat more annoying - it is generally entertaining.
