> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Florida Man kills neighbor’s chicken in self defense. How certain are we that this isn’t just David Koechner? Here he is in Anchorman 2 where his character owns a (supposed) fried chicken restaurant. (Coincidence?) [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0MAj3qUAfU&t=12s) I’m not convinced this isn’t just him. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > “I didn’t know to give it a 21-gun salute. CPR? Mouth-to-mouth? You know, or call the chicken ambulance?” I think this is actually a very good comeback. I wonder if there was more evidence than, “He said, the neighborhood children said” that lead to his arrest. Killing a chicken shouldn’t be a felony. I’ve been attacked by a rooster. They can be terrifying. ---

> [@omenran](#): > > Maybe God is just looking for the right combination or order of words. AHA! Just like sovereign citizens! Just say the words in the right order, and there you go! I think you’re onto something. And as for the chicken killer, are reporters deliberately using “Florida man” to perpetuate the stereotype? They could have said “Jacksonville man”. ---

IIRC, his first ones were doodles that he drew in class during college. It’s been awhile, so I may be remembering it wrong. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > IIRC, his first ones were doodles that he drew in class during college. Here’s what [his web site says](https://xkcd.com/about/). > I was going through old math/sketching graph paper notebooks and didn’t want to lose some of the work in them, so I started scanning pages. I took the more comic-y ones and put them up on a server I was testing out, and got a bunch of readers when BoingBoing linked to me. I started drawing more seriously, gained a lot more readers, started selling t-shirts on the site, and am currently shipping t-shirts and drawing this comic full-time. It’s immensely fun and I really appreciate y’all’s support. But it wasn’t in college. See this early entry: > **[Girl sleeping (Sketch -- 11th grade Spanish class)](https://xkcd.com/7/)** > > I don't remember her name at all, but she fell asleep on the floor in front of me. So, it was at least as early as 11th grade, he was still in high school. ---

Remember last year, the [armed Black men who closed a freeway outside of Boston](https://www.npr.org/2021/07/03/1012924207/i-95-partially-closed-for-hours-after-police-standoff-with-armed-men)?

Sovcit tries the “sovereign citizen” bullcrap before a judge. The judge replies, "Sir, I don’t want to hear any of your constitutionalist crap.
