I go to the basement and get the ax. Rambo is now running scared. I use the back of the ax to hit the door frame. The door moves! Yippie! I'm home free!
Until it stops at about two-three inches. The chicken's water bowl is in the way. I reach in with my hand (I cut my hand on the wire again) holding the ax and try to knock it out of the way. It's frozen to the ground. I try pulling the door open. Too much ice.
So I go back to the basement to return the ax (Rambo is thrilled). I slip on ice and almost fall on the ax (now I understand how Rambo feels). I get two large bottles and fill them with water so hot that it's hurting my hands to carry them. I pour it all over the door frame to melt the ice.
I keep pulling. I cut myself again (but by this time my fingers a numb anyway so it didn't hurt). FINALLY the door opens and I can go in and collect the ONE egg in there.
What's so special about this egg that I would go through all of that to collect it? You tell me.
Green Eggs and Ham, anyone? It's one of my favorite books!

I *will* eat them in a house! I *will* eat them with a mouse! YAY for green eggs. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was so damn important about That One Egg. Thanks for the answer.
And you're tagged over at mine. ;) (February 12 in case I post again before you get there)
I'm not so sure I'd eat it..."Green Eggs" is just a story ;)
Um...What's with the picture?
The Commonwealth of Kentucky seal is not really doing it for me.
Pobble, I saw that, I plan on answering tomorrow. :) I have the book Green Eggs and Ham memorized. I can also recite The Cat in the Hat.
Batman, I love my green eggs! YUM!! I get about three a week.
Crowder, I'm taking some Kentucky pride, man! There's much more to me than just a half-nekkid-bombshell-mother-of-five you know!
You're so crazy Sam-I-AM
Tink has her blog on public today, so if you want to chat to her, nows your chance!! (She usually has it locked up for personal reasons)
hiya krystal, whats with the green egg? my nanna used to keep chickens and i cant remember her having green eggs?
she had duckstoo and i used to love having those egg's for breakfast! (they were so big they wouldnt sit in the egg cups properly!)
TF63, thanks for the heads-up!
Tink, The green egg comes from a breed of chickens called "Americanas". I have three hens of that breed. One lays brown (boring!! just like all my other hens), one lays a pinkish brown (a bit cooler), and one lays green (YIPPIE!). I've order five more pullets and a couple of cockerels so I can breed them. I've also ordered a couple ducklings.
Well, crap...it's locked up now! **pouting**
sorry - have changed it back - go and have a look now if you like......
