Since no one has offered me a bribe or generally genuflected in my direction and blackmail loses its power unless you're willing to do what you said you would do, I bring you your Sunday morning laugh: the Rooster Wranglers of Argghhh!

You can catch an old rooster with a hen easier than you can catch him with another old rooster.

You can also get consistent spelling -- Argghhh vice Arrggh -- with a handy-dandy InstaReference Masthead Printout, available at your local Mangonels 'Я' Us for a reasonable fee...

I have some pedigree barn cats that need to be rounded up. Can I get some help?

Kat, that is hilarious!

-10 for spelling... but otherwise, woot! Go Satchmo, Go! The Castle Argghhh! Aerobics video, now available for free download.

LMFAO.... I recognized Ry, but couldn't tell who the "child labor unit" was. OMG, how frustrating- and funny as heck to watch! No wonder chickens sound like they're laughing when clucking.... they're just telling Henhouse TiNS!! "Hey Red! Remember that one time, at Argghhh, when that dude with the REALLY old ballcap chased us around with a piece of siding, while that other youngun' tried to catch us? OHHHHH Man... Those were the DAYS, eh Red!??"

OMG, that is a total hoot! Excellent production job, Kat :-)

Kat, do you have any info on the music? Googling Scotland Rising only brought up the Jacobite Revolt thanks

Beauty! Now make another version, Kat... advance the frame rate about 50% and set it to 'Yakety Sax'. Hee!

Wow, that's one fast rooster!

Kevin, It's a local band from the Renaissance Fair that I bought a CD from last year. I'll check this evening to see if they have a website listed on the CD. Martin, for a small fee I can bring the CLU child labor unit(my nephew). You'll have to convince Ry on your own. I admit, I tuned out the sound and I should have kept the part where Ry kept saying "you have to be smarter than the chicken". Which is probably what the problem was since it was actually a rooster. LOL

PS...I only wish I had had my camera when John and Beth were wrangling chickens.

The First Rule of Castle Argghhh! is... no video of the Armorer!
 
By BillT on May 11, 2008 12:52 PM
... no video of the Armorer! So, what's that largish figure observing from the sidelines with a cat in his lap, then?
 
By RightGirl on May 11, 2008 1:31 PM
So lemme get this straight. A couple of guys ran all over the Castle gardens chasing down the mighty cock? Clearly I picked the wrong weekend NOT to go... RG

This was a hoot to watch. Out witted and outrun by a chikin.

Rules are made to be broken.
 
By fdcol63 on May 11, 2008 5:43 PM
LMAO! That was too funny! I almost expected to see Ry swinging a lasso!

Heeeeee - Now Gollum should be ready to go for 15 with Apollo Creed.
 
By Maggie on May 11, 2008 6:49 PM
What? Why? I am lost.
 
By Tim on May 11, 2008 8:14 PM
So someone finally stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol, eh?

Love the video, love the music, but for some reason, I kept thinking of the Benny Hill theme instead...

If I could have found it, that was my first choice of music. But I couldn't find the tune as a download so we were stuck with some other fun music. But, that kind of scared me that we were thinking along the same lines. LOL

"But, that kind of scared me that we were thinking along the same lines. LOL" 'Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!' Vote Ron Paul in 2008! Had to slip that in, the opening was there, so I took it! However, come to think of it, it's McCain that really reminds me of a Borg...

Uh...Ron Paul village of castaways?

The convention should be interesting.... Amazing how the party of 'law and order' seems to have a tough time following their own party rules... so much for the 'big tent'.... But, enough snarkiness.... Barring a sudden wakeup call of respect by the GOP delegates for the principles and ideals this nation was founded upon, I expect I shall have to do a write in for this presidential cycle. But, at least, I will feel good about my vote and know that I cast it for the candidate who best represents and respects the Constitution and the ideals we as a nation are supposed to represent. How's about them apples? Mine are still sweet...

Heh. Sacthmo has a wicked change of direction, and if you tear a bunch of ligaments and a meniscus in your knee you don't have a wicked change of direction anymore. That's about as good as I get anymore at playing defense, and, yeah, it hurt like a mother later that night---hence the frozen peas. That bit next to the barn really took a bite out of the knee. Plus, half of the exercise was to get the Padawan to grab him. Trying to corner the sucker without spooking him was a bit harder to do with a very aggressive Padawan who had no problems running around behind Satch for who knows how long. So I grabbed the siding and corralled the sucker. I was smarter than the chicken. He was just faster. I used terrain and tools. Works for me.(You cook him and eat him he tastes just the same, Kat. It's a chicken.) ANd let's not forget that I'd been digging post holes all day before that, y'know. It wasn't like I wasn't already really tired before going after Psycho Chicken or nothing. Lasso? I'm a city kid from CA, not Wonder Woman. (I think Were-Kitten's the one for that.) ZoomieSib, nope, that wasn't the right hat. That's the back-up cap I keep around for working outside. The real Hat O' Flying Death(it's accurate to about 15', and repulsive to anyone but 7 year olds with Were-Kitten blood in 'em) was given the day off since the headband is shot and it falls off any time there's wind, and it was a touch windy that day. As you can tell in the vid, this one doesn't fly off.

Excuses, excuses! LOL

Plus, I did make you the "professional rooster wrangler". ;)

Hilarious. Love those fancy chickens (dare I say fancy cocks). I too, thought of the Benny Hill theme song. http://www.televisiontunes.com/Benny_Hill_Show.html And definitely bump the frame rate.
