New Years Resolution in action! Chainsaw and his twin sisters, Lavern and Shirley, have pledged that this year they are going to do what it takes to lose those unwanted extra Covid-19 pounds. Like the commercials say, our work is just too close to the refrigerator, or in our case to close to the grain […]
Say the Magic Word
“Say the magic word and win $100 dollars” Famous words always announced by Groucho Marx as he began his show ‘You bet your life’. Back in the ’50’s when his program was so popular, there was bonus when someone said whatever the selected “magic word” was in conversation, then a bird would drop. What bird? […]

It is with pride that Chainsaw Chicken announces that he has been selected to be the on screen and on web video spokesman- – – ah spokesperson? No it would be , ah… spokes guy, Naw… Wrong pronoun. How about just representative? Ok… Again It is with pride… wait… can I say pride? That conjures […]
My X-Ray Specs Arrived
Not sure what the reason was that my order took so long, but guess what showed up today in my mail? That’s right! My X-ray specs. I mailed off for these back in 1962 from the back of my latest issue of True Love Magazine. Seen here is Mrs. Chicken posing in her flimsy burnoose […]
Keep Your Balance
In an effort to not be outdone by the public display of Harry Houdini hanging from a few floors up and slithering from his straight jacket, the Three Chicatello Brothers (they were not actually brothers but rather three frustrated iron workers stripping down to their shorts) and playing around on their lunch break.

The Lone Chicken
When the television series ‘The Lone Ranger’ went from black and white to color starting in 1957, things were going great for Clayton Moore. He was a great replacement for John Hart, who left the series because of some private reasons. Jay Silverheels seemed to be the quintessential Tonto his sidekick. However, in the third […]
Here it is…
‘Here it is… It’s no big deal’ Those famous lines Bill stated in Caddyshack were memorable and very humorous. But where did they come from? The answer came from an event when Chainsaw was actually a waiter at Woodbush Gentleman’s Club. Woodbush was one of nine shops in a chain of adult stores/clubs/booths throughout the […]
My Own Nuc Sub
While the other kids on my block were building forts from cardboard and blankets, Chickpea Chicken had saved his allowance for weeks and finally purchased his own Polaris Submarine. Floating in our 4 foot by 40 feet above ground pool, the skimmer pump float was used to to provide air to the sub underwater. When […]
