GISHWHES 55 Chickens can fly!
Nov. 26th, 2012 10:07 pmA man in a chicken suit in the pilot seat of a commercial jet.
( Best prompt evah! )
This one (and the Olympic one) are my favs! Partly because I begged, borrowed and stole to find a contact for both. And if GISHWHES taught me anything (aside from "People will agree to anything") it's try, try, try and try again!
After having a couple of leads fall through (I really thought I needed a pilot for this) I asked a friend who's husband works in the airline food service for West Jet. He agreed! I worried about him getting in trouble, but he laughed and explained that he'd asked his boss, and his boss was cool with it!
West Jet is officially the coolest airline ever!
So, a way too expensive chicken costume later, and I got pics!*
*I didn't feel bad for buying the costume because I really paid little to nothing for everything else. A $20 sock monkey hat (which I'll wear lots), a couple of dollars worth of kale, some cheap tempura paints (that my kids will use) and a couple of file folders for my chicken filing system. Considering other people went skydiving, I got off pretty cheap.
