HenQs: is it okay for a skank-hen to try to steal my boyfriend?

leave a comment »

dear hen baby buhtins,

thanks for your submission. first off, using the word skank-hen is a bit, well, unnecessary. just because this hen likes to throw her wooly-hen parts around doesn’t make her a skank—wait, using the word wooly nowadays, isn’t quite correct. i tend to forget this is not the 80s anymore. in today’s hen market, it’s more like powder-hen parts, smooth as ski slopes—she just likes to express herself more than most hens. there is nothing wrong with that.

now to answer your question. of course it’s okay for her to try to steal your boyfriend. simply put, it’s the best litmus test there is when it comes to a relationship. you’ll find out quickly whether your beloved rooster-boyfriend  can holdup to his end of the bargain. you know, be loyal and walk the talk that allowed him an all-access pass to your hentastic parts.

if you have a good rooster, this situation will be nonissue. on the other hand, if you’re dealing with an insecure and unsure capon, and acts upon the proposition, your relationship will become that much clearer; and that’s a good thing. sure, the fact that your best friend or stripper neighbor, or whomever the case may be, committed a robbery, it sucks. no one likes rejection at that level, but such is coop life. ultimately, they are doing you a huge favor. you can’t hate on a single-hen for being a single-hen. you should thank them.

you see, your relationship isn’t with the single-hen, it’s with your rooster. the hen owes you nothing. it’s the rooster who should be blamed and shunned. after all, he was the one who promised you the world, pledged his monogamy and the happily-ever-after song and dance. right?

as with any hen with commonsense, you know the intent of any rooster is to have a go at them hentastic parts. that’s the nature of things. the problem is, once you hens allow a rooster full access, many of you consider him property. that’s always a mistake. so naturally, our reaction to someone who takes something we think belongs to us is often not a nice one. it usually conjures up violent thoughts of de-feathering and dismemberment towards that person. and some of you, actually act on it and go hen-crazy. no one likes a hen-crazy hen. besides, all that violence and hate doesn’t change the fact your rooster was out there using someone else’s sharpener to sharpen his rooster-pencil.

the thing is, your boyfriend is not your property. if you accept that as such, you’ll be less disappointed or hurt. they have choices just like you do. only you belong to you, and actions are absolutes that hold truths.

2012: the year of the hen

leave a comment »

HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY DEAREST HENS!

i know it’s been awhile, but such is the way the feathers float. with the many false cockternity accusations, hen-stalking and restraining orders, it’s been a busy last few months for me. some of you hens are beyond repair, and should really just stay in the coop and brood. there is no need  to spread the crazy. don’t get me wrong, crazy is good. just keep it at a level that doesn’t require a straight jacket, hen-baby drama or involve knives. now, for the hens who are more open to suggestions, and whose down is as soft as their hearts, my words are for you.

as we start the new year, the hen-trend is to over indulge in resolutions. right? and it usually goes something like this, “i’m going to lose weight—i’m not going be so slutty this year—i’m eating healthier–i’m not dating losers anymore.” blah, blah, blah… well, in the spirit of resolutions, i’ll share my top five with you.

HENWRANGLER’S NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

  • eat more chicken pie (i hear it’s healthier and good for sinus congestion)
  • stuff and mount more hens (break last year’s taxidermy record)
  • peck more, bite less (i’m a passionate rooster, and sometimes, i leave marks)
  • more chicken fingers (yeah, not the food)
  • kick them out at 9 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. (a lapsed on my part in 2011)

so, there you go. like me, set attainable goals and things will be just fine. and remember, expectations are follies made of mind.

i’ll leave you lovely hens with those thoughts. until next time.
