Breaking News — Under siege following recent controversies and unrest, the red hen has been placed in protective custody and is currently living under an assumed identity in an undisclosed location. In prepared remarks to reporters, spokesgnome Sven Notaredhenderson said the bird was in good spirits and hoped to return to work as soon as everyone had moved on to some other outrage.
What a clustercluck, Murray C.
Yay! Thank you Mike!
Some other outrage… like putting a gnome costume on a chicken?
Did everyone see the Garden Gnome Google doodle/game a couple of weeks ago? https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-garden-gnomes it’s a hoot!
Nothing short of brilliant, NomTom!
Best story about this incident I’ve read. Give it to the weekend and the outrage should move on to something else totally ridiculous. And loving the spokes”persons” name too.
BAAAAAAAaaaaAhHHHhhaaaHHHAAAAAAAA !! 😀 😀
Mike, your absolute best ever. Yup. We’re clucked for sure.
Oh! I missed it the first time and just enjoyed the story and pic. Bravo Mike!
Mike, you are a welcome bright spot every morning – a therapeutic giggle or guffaw helps to cope with the doom-and-gloom of the morning news. 🙂
Hey, maybe you should market yourself as a remedy for High Blood Pressure, Disgruntled Mind, and even the pain of Ingrown Toenails!!! 😀
…and the “Heartbreak of Psoriasis” and “Ring around the Collar”!
😀 😀 😀

There’s a Red Hen in New Jersey and another in DC that got similar hate mail. So stupid.
It kills me that these are the same people who demand the “religious freedom” to deny service to gay people. It’s so blatantly dishonest it feels like they’re calling me stupid.
Right? I saw a comment somewhere that I liked (in response to someone suggesting that this is no different than the wedding cake issue) – that she wasn’t denied because of the color of her skin but the content of her character.
At least make sure you’re yelling at the right place. I have a bookmark from Red Hen press that seems appropriate: it says READ THEN (with the letters RED HEN in white and the A and T in gray). Learn to read, people!
Yep, I loved that comment about the content of her character. Wish I lived close enough to that restaurant to eat there; I would love to give them my business!
And Mike, thank you of being a bastion of cute and funny in these trying times!
Hmmm. Does that mean that sooner or later we will have to carry a Certificate of Approved Character whenever we go shopping??
😀 😀 😀
Mike, remember when you used to get marriage proposals back in the CO days? I feel like this post would have earned you several!
I’m willing if Mike is!
Can you believe that anyone would think that someone from DC went all the way to Ontario (or New Jersey, for that matter) to eat out? Where have they left their brains if they had any to begin with. The Red Hen in NJ got over 600 nasty phone calls – 600 people willing to scream at someone they don’t even know about something they obviously didn’t have a clue about. Gob smackingly awful.
But, yes, Mike deserves kudos all round for this one. I sent this in before the kerfuffle and he made good use out of it!!! YAY, Mike.
Bravo, sir. Please add to 2019 calendar, assuming the world still exists then.
