They
don't produce chicken legs like that in Arkansas! I wonder
what the Colonel's recipe would be for this...

I
think this trio has had about all they can handle... |
Alas!
I was wrong. Upon taking their picture they became as spry as
spring chickens; except for their fourth companion, who looks
as though he would prefer to lean back over the trailer! |
