Is that a dancing chicken?

August 19, 2008

Yep, it does look like the chicken is dancing. I think it had a little too much beer but it is standing up straight. I’m not sure it would pass the breathalyzer. What do you think? You have to love beer can chicken. My hubby decided to make some the other night and I was [...]
