Only in Maine: tall man in chicken suit scares store clerk
From the APWire:
“WATERVILLE, Maine — A store clerk became alarmed early this morning after a very tall person wearing sandals and a full-length, yellow chicken suit walked into the Irving Blue Canoe store on Kennedy Memorial Drive, police said.
When a clerk asked the person to remove the chicken mask, the person placed his hands on the mask, pulling it down as if to say, “I’m not taking off my mask,” said Waterville Deputy Police Chief Charles Rumsey.
The incident unfolded just before 1:30 a.m., police said. The clerk noticed a red car driving around the parking lot. The person in the chicken suit got out of the car and the car sped away, temporarily out of sight.
The clerk told police the chicken person stood about 6 feet, 4 inches tall, with brown sandals and blue jeans visible beneath the feathers.
After the encounter with the clerk, the chicken person quickly walked out of the store and got back into the red car, which drove off toward Oakland.
A man who answered the phone at the Blue Canoe later this morning said he was not allowed to comment on the incident.”
If I were a Blue Canoe PR guy, I wouldn’t answer questions either. But I sure as hell would be laughing my ass off.
Anyone know where Bill Clinton was last night? Maybe he was trying to sneak a biggie big cheesey burger without getting caught by his wife.

If I were a chicken or other costumed character, I might consider this tale profiling!

Hey, Maxx, if you think this is bad, the Portland (ME) Press Herald is reporting that a kid who was owed $100 by a younger buddy kidnapped the bunny rabbit (I don’t think the bunny is named foofoo) and demanded the money or… else!
The bunnynapper is now caged up at the juvie center. Don Imus is rumored to be preparing a show on this nappyheaded joe.
