What a great time.



The Rooster does not walk. He glides after the women.



This year the Rooster was in typical rare form, accounting for many memorable moments. As we sat around one morning, most of us already taking down the early morning intimidator beer, Speaker mentioned how the Rooster actually does wake you up at the crack of dawn.

It's true, he really does get up at the crack of dawn and start talking to things. People as if they were there, the dog, the wall. He will talk until you wake up.

I began writing about some of the Rooster's exploits this weekend and decided I'd save those for a later post. Instead, I give you the explanation of the Rooster by way of the wikipedia page on, well, roosters.

A rooster (also called a cock or chanticleer) is a male chicken (Gallus gallus), the female being called a hen. Immature male chickens of less than a year's age are called cockerels. The oldest term is "cock", from Old English coc.



(The older male rooster displaying dominance)

But because "cock" is often used as a slang term referring to the penis, this term is generally avoided for the sake of both propriety and clarity, although it remains accurate.

The rooster is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters who enter his territory. During the daytime, he often sits on a high perch, usually 4–5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock.



He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

(Ka-KAWWWW!!!)

The rooster is often (accurately) pictured in art as crowing at the break of dawn. He can often be seen sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory.



It's clear he has the perfect nickname.

In other news, my nickname "Huge Penised Adonis" is also fitting.
