WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS CHICKENS WITH PIRATES?A cluckin' crew consisted of: Vinny Feathersword: The fierce and feathered captain with a beak sharper than a cutlass. Justin the Navigator: A scholarly chicken who could calculate coordinates using egg-shaped compasses. Jordan Cluckbeard the Quartermaster: A grizzled old hen with a wooden leg (made from a broken chicken coop). Slackbeard the Cock: A colorful young rooster who squawks pirate phrases like “Avast, ye scurvy landlubbers!” Rose Graycomb: The oldest crew member, always eager to live before he dies. They set sail on their ship, the VPD Clucktanic, sailing through choppy seas, dodging floating applesauce and UTZ potato chips. Their map, drawn on a parchment made from flattened dinner rolls, revealed the location of the fabled Chicken Dinner —a secret nest with Versailles, OH.
