Counting Crows... but not the band

Yesterday I spent the evening with Klynt and Dana. We went to dinner and drove around just discussing life. We ended up back at their house about 9. Klynt and I ended up playing a little X-Box. We played a few hours of Ghost Recon. We retired to bed at about 2 a.m. Dana graciously allowed me to sleep on her couch. She put a plastic sheet down so I wouldn't drool and leave a stain. I was just happy I was allowed to sleep on their couch since last time Kaleb and I stayed the night we had to sleep on the floor. So I lay down and try to get to sleep. I dose off until about 4 when their roosters start crowing outside. This goes on for about 10 minutes. So instead of counting sheep I am counting rooster crows. I stopped counting at 37! Finally they stopped. So back to sleep. At 6 their alarm clock goes off in the kitchen. I get up and trudge to the kitchen and turn off the alarm. I no sooner lay back down when the crowing starts again. I again start counting the crows. 1...2.....3...4........5..........6..........7...8.....9..10... by this time I am getting a little perturbed. 11...12...13....14.....15........16.........17...... I tell myself that if they crow 5 more times I am going outside. I wasn't sure what I was going to do but I was going outside. 1...2...3...4.........................5. I throw off my blanket and run to the back door. It's still dark outside but I go out anyways. I walk barefoot outside on their porch. I wait and until I hear another crow. It comes from a tree around the side of the house. I can't see the stupid chickens but I know they are there. Again one crows and I yell "SHUT UP!" About 2 minutes go by and one dares to crow again. I once again yell "SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF THE TREE!" I thought that if they were out of the tree I could maybe chase them into traffic of something. They however stop crowing. I WIN!!!!!! I go back inside with frozen feet and lay back down smiling with victory. I close my eyes and what do I hear?

Klynt, I hate your chickens.

Big T you did what any reasonably insane person would have done. You must be a pistons fan.

Don't go to Hawaii. There are roosters everywhere in Hawaii.

Kami,I will work on proving rather or not they actually have chickens.

I wouldn't trust Dana's side of the story.

Jeeps, you did beat us. I watched the end of the game with Klynt and Dana. I promised Dana that it wouldn't take more than twenty minutes to finish. Since she is not a basketball fan and she wanted to do something else. That was with 6:20 to go in the fourth. I was called a liar after the second overtime. It was a great game to watch though.

I know firsthand that your victory was quite significant. One time, Klynt gave me permission to shoot one of his chickens that was just sitting on top of the coop. Pretty easy shot right? Even for me. But that stupid bird kept on wiggling and moving around so that I couldn't get a good shot at it. I never did even get to pull the trigger. The baker chickens are formidable opponents.

Klynt and Dana left for Germany yesterday! That means that they left their chickens home alone. I may be taking a trip to Cooperville to do a job that Truhe failed at. Let's all rise up against the feathered phantoms of the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
