Merged two [del]chickens[/del] threads about this, left combined thread in Cafe Society.
Facts are facts. He’s since apologised.
Now I’m off to buy a t-shirt.
I should’ve gone to Cafe Press and created a t-shirt:
“Good job! Keep Fucking that Chicken!”
Well, I’ll say no more about it. I know what I heard, and in my mind he said “pluckin’.” What the rest of you assume you heard doesn’t convince me, even if I’m the only one. Just because I’m alone in my thinking, it doesn’t make me wrong and everyone else right.
There’s no need to adopt this pose. We all heard the audio. You heard one thing, you heard another. Assumptions don’t enter into it.
And yeah, the phrase is definitely going all over the world. I knew it would when I heard it. It’s too good not to go viral.
Well I did it. Created a t-shirt. However, to abide by SDMB rules I will not post the link here.
Sorry, Marley. It’s not a pose. I keep playing the video and I’m convinced he said “pluckin’.” I know it seems I’m hitting people over the head with my righteousness, but that’s not my intent. I honestly hear him say “pluckin’” and not “fuckin’.” You’re right, hearing can be subjective, but I am unconvinced Anostos uttered the profanity that everyone is claiming he is. It is my honest belief, and I mean no disrespect to all who heard it differently. I am not making this statement to be contrary or go against the grain. It’s what I honestly believe he said, just like the rest of you honestly believe what you heard. I’m just not convinced by everybody, but please don’t misunderstand this for stubbornness. Let’s just say I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Good, because this post and and your last amount to nothing but repeating yourself, probably in an effort to get the last word in regarding “what you know you heard.” ETA: And your next post. We get it. Ernie said “plucking”. We know you think so. Thanks.
Err… you did see the source where he admitted it and apologised, right? Thinking something is true, when the individual himself would disagree with you is a little… unsupportable.
Of course Ernie admitted it! No one wants to anger the powerful Chicken Fucker lobby. It’s easier to apologize than fight for the truth and give legitimacy to the dismal Chicken Plucker faction.
Well if they’re half as powerful as the Pheasant Plucker faction, to which my father belonged, I can understand the concern.
They sent this up on TDS last night.
I have a feeling that Anasto is going to be hearing that phrase shouted at him in public for the rest of his career.
Spoon!
I meant the pose where you said you hear “pluckin’” and the rest of us assumed we heard “fuckin.’” Everybody else is as confident in their opinions as you are and came to their conclusions the same way you did, that’s all I’m saying.
So. . .has the weather guy been fucking poultry?
“Hie thee to an ENT,” indeed. I could have said that to the rest of you, but I carefully refrained from any snark in my posts.
Thank you, Fantome. That’s all I wanted, simple acknowledgment that I heard what I heard.
I’m getting so tired of the word “snark.” It was light humor and not a suggestion I actually thought you were deaf. Let’s move on already.
Of course; how do you think he forecasts the weather in the first place? We’ve come a long way from reading the entrails.
I didn’t think it was humor. I thought it was sound advice. If you hear ‘pluckin’ in there, you have a hearing problem, plain and simple. I don’t dispute your honesty – I believe you when you say that’s what you hear – but if that’s what you hear the you have some kind of physical problem.
On second thought, maybe a sound system that has issues, like an EQ set for some kind of scheme that that the audio track doesn’t have.
