> [@jlzania](#): > > If I recall correctly, **Noodles Fellicini** , you spent the afternoon slogging feed and water and rounding up escaped birds while you were here. Well, yes, but thanks to this thread I will now forever remember it as The Running of the Cecils. Hope you win the grant, **jilzania** , Cecils need new shoes! (I’m sure **code\_grey** would agree.) ---

Woot! Woot! Woot! You did it! We are now quailified for consideration. Thank you so much. Never doubt the power of the Dopers. A round of Cecils for the house. > [@carimwc](#): > > Just voted! And I can vouch to how tasty the chickens are! Where did you get ahold of one of our birds? Are you an Austinite? **Kayaker,** I voted for your friends farm but when I clicked on their Facebook link, it was disabled. Don’t know if that matters but you might want to point that out to them. If we actually manage to get the grant, I will resurrect this thread. Now back to obscurity. And a final thanks again. ---

Well, thanks to this thread, not only did I get to vote for you earlier, but I’ve voted for local businesses in my area. Hope you stick around and participate more actively, not that you’ve come out of the shadows! > [@StGermain](#): > > Can you only vote once? I voted yesterday and today the button is still greyed out. > > StG Once per business in each town. You can vote for other businesses in other towns, though. ---

Oh cool! I am so glad that you got your 250!!! I would love to know how many of us dopers helped push you over the edge. I’ve said it over and over again to my “real” friends…this is the greatest place on the whole internet ---

> [@jlzania](#): > > Where did you get ahold of one of our birds? Are you an Austinite? I am indeed. I know I’ve had them at Cipollina before (my fiance used to be the front of the house manager a few years ago) and other restaurants, but never directly.

Do you ever shop at either the downtown or Berger Center farmers market on Satuday? I’m offering great Doper discounts if you identify yourself as such when you buy a bird. And yes, Shoreline needs to go along with a few others. Maintaining the web page is a low priority on my list right now but it does need to be done asap. When summer rolls into Texas, everything gets focused on keeping the birds happy. You know how everyone in Game of Thrones runs around wailing “Winter is coming, Winter is coming.” That’s the way I feel when it hits the mid 90’s. Chickens have a hard time moderating their body temperature so I spend a ton of energy making sure they stay cool and alive. > [@](#): > > \*\*IvoryTowerDenizen \*\*Well, thanks to this thread, not only did I get to vote for you earlier, but I’ve voted for local businesses in my area. > > Hope you stick around and participate more actively, not that you’ve come out of the shadows! Well thanks. Regretfully I only read the Dope when taking quick breaks between the world of the chicken. Normally by the time I can get back to a thread to participate, 6 people have said what I was thinking only much more succulently and eloquently,5 people have made better jokes and, especially in the Pit, one person has already volunteered to be the thread asshole. ---
