A Super Chicken Retrospective

Ah, Super Chicken. Puddleby's favorite chicken. While your whereabouts today may be uncertain, I figured this would be a fine time for a retrospective of various depictions of you on TMN over the years.

TMN is 15 Years Old!

TMN first went online 15 years ago, in May 2002! Hard to believe it was that long ago.

I'll try to post some special stuff from the extensive TMN archives in the weeks to come. Above is Phineas's winning banner from the TMN Ad Art Contest #2.

Thanks, everyone, for all your help and support over the years.

A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them. — Mark Twain (1835–1910)

Breaking a Training Dummy

Bungleyed Grok sent the following report to TMN:

Hello,

We recently assembled a group of Puddleby's most proficient hemorrhaging wound experts to attempt to break one of the training dummies in the Fighter Hall.

After applying dozens of wounds and expending our spirit reserves, we were able to accomplish our task. We didn't learn anything from the fight.

Puddleby's local taxidermist was in no mood to stuff an already stuffed training dummy, but had enough professionalism to at least be polite about it.

Best,
-Bungleyed Grok

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered. — Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
