[enigma06]

Ad lib on the part of David Golez. Originally, he had a thing for Piggy (which they carried over into Muppet Babies). Then, of course, came the episode where Gonzo was auditioning tap dancing chickens, and he turns to the camera and says, "Not what we're looking for... but nice legs, though" or something to that effect.

Many times they said he might be a type of bird so it is really not that weird

The froggy protagonist has a thing for the pig.
Hey, a whatever and a chicken isn't /that/ strange.

Jim thought Dave's ad lib was hilarious.

Actually, Jim found chickens hilarious. ... didn't he?

Yup he did say that before, hehe. In the Labyrinth documentary he was shown auditioning chickens which apparently didn't make the cut. "That chicken's not gonna be a star!" Lol

Chickens *are* hilarious! That is why modern Pirates have chickens instead of parrots as their sidekicks/accomplices.

Bea{Although don't tell that to the oil tankers...}regard

All chickens look alike to me. Does that make me an anti-poultrist (word I made up for another term that likely exists)?

When I was a little boy my parents took me to a farm and a chicken pecked the twinkie I was eating right out of my hand! Evil chickens I tell ya!

However I find Gonzos are unique.
