The Rubber Chicken Has Landed!
Yesterday a very exciting package arrived here at the Closed Loop Marketing office. It was my prize for winning the People’s Choice Rubber Chicken Award in the 2007 “Columbo” Humorous Blog Post contest!
Although technically not made of rubber, “Chuck” (as we’ve all come to call him) quickly won our hearts. As you can see in the photos below, he had quite a busy first day:

Here’s Chuck the Rubber Chicken checking out my desk.

Here’s Chuck the Rubber Chicken looking for friends online.

Here’s Chuck the Rubber Chicken locating rubber worms online to use as linkbait.

And here’s Chuck the Rubber Chicken resting from his exhausting labors.
Oh, and did I mention Chuck has a rubber-band neck? And can be propelled across a break room with extreme accuracy and high speed?
I plan not to discuss his stunted rubber chicken cousin - or is it cousine? - who arrived in the same delivery…
Thanks again to Mike Blumenthal, great fun!

Dear Sandra-
As to your unwillingness to discuss the “stunted rubber chicken cousin”, I say chickeeeen!

Sandra — be gentle with Chuck. I tried to shoot my “Chuck” (I hadn’t named him yet) across the kitchen and promptly pulled his head right off! Poor thing is dead before he even had a name….
And yes, thanks to Mike for the good fun.

I wonder if like the elephants in the old Tarzan movies, these “beasts” have a resting place where they go to die and mourn each other?
Matt, you just don’t know your own strength.
