    Colonel Sanders caused a chicken to be run over? This isn’t plausible. After all, who would want to eat a chicken after it had tires run over it and was smashed into asphalt?

    “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” So let it be with Saunders.

    So is Scott Hilburn Gary Larson’s pen name?

    Rainey, haven’t you heard of the famous recipe, Chicken Under a Car?

    Yet nobody sees anything odd about pressed duck.

    @ Harley (#4): If it is, he’s got a lot of them.

    Colonel Sanders just hated chickens. He wasn’t in the business because the birds were tasty, he just liked the idea of dismembering them and boiling them in oil. Kicking one into the street would probably fit his M.O.

    @ 1, 5 & 6 - Then there’s Baldrick’s recipe for “Rat au Vin” (Blackadder: “That’s a rat, that’s been run over by a van.”) You could easily substitute chicken for the rat. After all, every kind of “variety” meat tastes “just like chicken”, even Larson’s cows thought that.

    @Rainey:
    Who would want to eat a chicken after it spent its brief life in a dark shed, was ground up, fried in mystery goop, and served in a bucket?

    Digression time: One of the most stupid words in the English language: Why is “Colonel” pronounced “kernel”?

    Why is “Colonel” pronounced “kernel”?

    Because the last step in the chain from the original Latin root (related to “column”) down to the current English word was an obsolete French term spelled “coronel”.
