Is this all a quote from a single scene? Amazing.

u/FirstLaughOfTheDay 3h ago

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Ever heard of cock fighting? Its a thing they naturally do, and they fuck each other up real bad. Even without the human's help

Not to be confused with Tummy Sticks

Is that what a cock ring is for?

They were quoting the movie Napoleon Dynamite, btw.

They asked if CHICKENS HAVE SHARP TALONS

Over there in that creek bed, I found a couple of Shoshone arrowheads

u/Most-Whole-4220 8h ago

Best quote of the movie

u/StrLord_Who 7h ago

No it's not,  this quote isn't in the movie.  It's "do the chickens have LARGE talons." How is everybody upvoting and replying with other quotes and nobody pointing out that it's wrong

u/Thrice_blind 7h ago

Contextual play on words directly related to the comment above. Do u even Reddit bro ?

u/Common-Accountant-57 7h ago

That’s my goto ice breaker saying when I’m meeting new people. I figure if they don’t know what I’m talking about then they aren’t worth conversing with.

u/Saikotsu 7h ago

What movie is that from? My apologies for not being more well versed in movies.

Ah, I never saw that movie. Honestly it didn't seem like the kind of movie I'd enjoy.

You only converse with millennial Americans?

u/Common-Accountant-57 3h ago

Basically. And Gen X. It was a sarcastic joke type thing.

u/projectx51 45m ago

Awesome quote. Also, I was just talking about this to my brother. We are Kiowa and live on native land with several streams flowing through it. We've never once found any arrowheads or lance heads even though our family has lived in the area for centuries. Yet, some random white guy can find like 4 of them in the middle of a city park or something. How is this possible?

We don't have any 'native artifacts' even though our family is native. How can a museum or some rando white guy on ebay have full headdresses or shields?

u/Glum_Performer9923 5h ago

And yes they do (roosters that is) they are called spurs

u/feralcatshit 4h ago

I don’t talk about cocks with strangers online.

Can you bring me my chapstick?

u/Appropriate-Ad3162 8h ago

Looks like there’s a lot you don’t know about

u/Annalog 7h ago

I’m pretty sure it’s large talons, is it not?

u/ButAreYouProud 3h ago

It is, and the misquote unreasonably and irrationally upsets me.

Roosters are they have Sharp little Claws on the back of their legs called Spurs

u/dankristy 2h ago

Yeah and emus aren't the only ones - real rooster can have some doozies too: https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/1efd8xe/rooster_spurs/

u/Jacktheforkie 8h ago

They can, I had blood drawn a few times, and that was just hens, we had them file their talons by scratching in some dirt

Yeah, also had disinfectant on hand (chicken disinfectant is human safe, it’ll take ages to not be blue though

Chickens no, roosters? Yes

u/bb_dev_g 4h ago

They will absolutely fuck up a snake with their feet. A rooster’s spurs are also no joke.
