***ONE HOUR LEFT, FOLKS!
***ENDING TIME IS MST (Mountain Standard Time)
**EDIT- Clarification of rules. See below.
I love seeing the trend of blog “Giveaways” that have been popping up everywhere.
I’ve considered hosting a giveaway of my own for awhile. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon immediately because I am someone who is notoriously weak regarding the “Everyone else is doing it” mentality. It is a good thing that I hung out with people that weren’t “Baddies” in high school. If I had run with a seriously rebellious crowd I would have probably gone with the flow and picked up some very bad habits. Instead of sitting here writing this blog I would probably have fatherless kids named Ramone, Shaniqua, Earl and Hung li, and give $5 blow jobs on the docks to support my raging meth habit. Luckily, all I ever did in my teenage years was have lame photo-shoots in my best friends basement and spray pillows with our boyfriend’s cologne and slow dance with them in the dark to “Forever Young” by Alphaville. “Adventurous” to me was sneaking out with my boyfriend and letting him cop an occasional feel in the backseat of his car.
Shoot. Now I’m trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about in the first place. Oh, yes! Peer pressure and how I am succumbing to it…
I’m hosting my very first blog give-a-way! (And there was much rejoicing…yay…)
I have a crapload of “Stuff” sitting on my computer desk. For a refresher, click HERE. Featured below are a few of my favorites. “Claude” the crab is the only beanie baby in the world I would ever own. There is something terribley cute and earnest about his wee-beady eyes. I looked for one forever and my friend Karen gave me hers! Right below Claude, is my AWESOME chicken. He reminds me of the penguin in the “Wallace and Grommit” Movies. 
He totally kills me. Maybe it is because I am a sucker for things with wee-beady eyes, Maybe it is his mismatched socks, or maybe it is his winged “Go-to move” that happens when you squeeze his feet together, who knows?
What he doesn’t have?
A NAME.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give Loralee’s plastic chicken a name!
What will the winner get in return? A $15 gift certificate to Amazon.com. As an added bonus, if you are the lucky winner AND you **link to THIS post on your blog, your prize goes up to $20. I pinky swear that the linkylove will not influence my final decision. It’s just an added bonus because I’m a traffic-whore.
Leave your entries in my comments. You may enter as many times as you wish.
The contest closes at 11:59 pm, Thursday, August 30th.
Cluck-Cluck-Good-Luck!
Stumble it!
Filed under: 
Randall. He looks like he is sort-of serious and unintentionally goofy. He’s cute.
For some reason, when I looked at him I thought “Dwight”. It could be that the name came to me because I’m listening to ‘The Office: Season 2′ right now.
Wayne
Fricken Chicken
He also looks like a Marvin
Suck-a-duck?
fikkenchucker
Edward or Lucy
Pedro :)
Consider yourself linked!
[...] over at Loralee’s Looney Tunes is having a giveaway. Go check it [...]
Flipper.
Clyde.
(I’m not sure why.)
I think he looks like a “Stewart” but I’m a huge fan of using characteristics for names. I also enjoy a good initial now and then, so my final-answer submission to this giveaway is:
Stalwart P.
And Loralee, yours has long been linked on my blog as an unknown-person favourite.
Berkle the Chicken
Clyde.
(I’m not sure why. I’m also not sure why I got an error message when I first tried to post a comment; apologies if this comes through twice.)
you always come up with weirdly funny things.
how about rufus? i know you go for brit names.
These are all awesome thus far!
Loves to Camille for the linky love. I had no idea. I’ll scoot over to your place when I’m back from taking the kiddies to “The Simpsons”
I clarified about tracking back to this specific post on your blog. You’ll get the increased gift certificate if you post a link back to this giveaway. I should have been more specific. Apology accepted???
Mwah!
Wing Man, he looks like your wing man to me. Off to link to the post, so all 20 of my dailys will now be yours.
[...] Or, in this case, getting something for free in return for naming a crazy-looking chicken on Loralee’s Looney Tunes. The prize is an amazon.com gift certificate! How cool! Go. [...]
There are dueling incentives here. If I link to you, I can get five extra dollars. But linking to you would send more traffic your way (not much more, in my case), thus increasing entries and decreasing my odds of winning. Since we’re talking a $5 gain versus a $15 loss, I choose not to link to this post. Sorry.(:
Schlamozel!
“…give $5 blow jobs on the docks”
so much for your g-rated blog, eh? ;)

Craig-
I’m totally flattered that you would use such thought as “Strategery” in my blog giveaway.
Jess-
I know. I’m a wanton blogger.
Sigh…
* Jean-Luc!
* The Inspector
* Bob Freckenboker
* Mr. Clubbers
I also posted about this on my blog :)
***Chicky***
Just because he/she belongs to a hot chick. /wink
1. loralee (does bribery work?)
2. duck-duck (he’s having an identity
crisis just like the rest of my pets)
3. wooster
4. e-i-e-i-o (as in old macdonald)
Okay after reading these suggestions I really don’t know that I have much to offer except that WHY are they all giving a hen a male name? I mean it’s obviously a girl–or am I not up on my chickenology?
And I loved “Forever Young” too btw.
I guess I’d offer (besides the obvious choice of Scribbit the Chicken) Brittany. Those dance moves just seem to fit.
And linking I must do.
Don Quackote
Michelle- because she said *he* doesn’t have a name….I didn’t read that part either the first time..hence why I suggested Lucy
I guess I did say “He” didn’t I? Truth be told, he does remind me more of a “He” but I am totally open to girly names, too!
Hell, I named my female cat, Wilbur.
I think it should stay nameless. My reason is that its alway good to have something to call what you want depending on the mood and how much you need to vent!
i will be thinking about this ALL day! :)-
Sully
[...] Loralee is giving away an Amazon gift certificate! All you have to do is help her name her plastic chicken. Go there now! [...]
Weiner chick!
I don’t know. I just like it. It has multiple meanings.
I want to win the chicken!!!!!
Maybe I should sponsor a giveaway… Faith has been collecting a lot of rocks around D.C. Maybe I just start unloading our bag of dust. PFTZ!
p.s. – per Da-Nang… BlueFly has some stuff onsale right now. But I’ve found some GREAT deals on eBay. You must find the baby-fine cords with metallic dragons on the side. I have them in brown and camo. And the ones with a certain style at the top is more flattering than others.. I’ll have to look at see which one it is.
You crack me up!
hhhmmm…how about Buckley
Eric says “Hector.” I haven’t decided yet.
Juanita, Gomez, Kate, Nostradamus, Luqwig, Neeko and Izzie.
You have also been linked, my dear.
I think he should be “Mulder.”
I don’t know how to link, but I will ask my tech saavy husband to help me. I’m technically challenged.

Damn you, woman! Now all I can think about is Wallace and Gromit. “CHEESE, Gromit!” For months after the latest, all three of us would sporadically yell cheese in our best British voices, and Jeremy and I continually did the little hand movements at each other when we were excited… you know the one I’m talkin’ about!
Rupert. But if it were for Karen I would name him Kung Fu Chicken!
I’m gonna say…
Clive.
My daughter says: Ratatouille.
I don’t know WHERE she came up with that! Oops, she can read now. She’s reading what I’m typing and going, “mama!”
How funky is your chicken?
How loose is your goose?
Now come on all you Loralee fans
and shake your caboose,
that’s right
shake your caboose!
(Sorry I was a cheerleader in jr. high and that cheer will NEVER leave me!)
My suggestion is Funky Fred.
“hello? is it me you’re looking for?”
…Lionel!
I totally agree that he looks like the penguin from Wallace and Gromit, which is why I would suggest pseudo-plagiarizing his very name:
“Feathers McGraw”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathers_McGraw
and making it:
“Feathers McChoate”
Vx
He has an exceptionally long neck and in honor of my sweet dancin’ skills: OSTRICHICKEN!!! So let it be written, so let it be done. I’ll put a link on my blog for you. :o)
Clucky Two-Socks.
[...] forever encouraging and wishing me well. She’s fantastic, she also happens to be doing a giveaway if you hurry! ( look I snuck that in [...]
Even though Sue may be upset, I think you should name your chicken.
“My Chicken, Lac Lavon”
or:
“Dawn”
‘The Chickens Will Meet At Dawn!’
Delurking…I love your blog but I’ve never posted before.(Sad, really that I’ll delurk when there’s a prize involved.)
I choose…
Edgar
You plugged how to get rid of things again? I noticed a flux in the traffic and thought I’d dig around and find out where it was coming from. What is this Kerflop website?
I got here via one of those linky loves someone posted for ya! ;)
I vote for Chick-E-Dee. ChickyDee. However you want to spell it.
Jonathan-
Totally!
I love your website. Totally informative and TOTALLY HILARIOUS.
Here, I’ll plug it again (Though the lame way. My link code keeps adding “Nofollow” and making it disappear. Don’t know why):
“HEY! You need to know how to “Get rid of things” (Like anything from wasps, dandruff, 10 extra lbs, yellow toenails, stains on clothing or even Trick-or-treaters?) If you do, and I know you do, go here:
http://www.getridofthings.com
You’ve forgotten the whining about my wasp problem I droned on about last summer. Tasha emailed me the link to the “Get rid of wasps” page and it TOTALLY worked.
This was good because we were PLAGUED by them. My poor kids kept getting stung. I had no idea that yellow jackets were attracted to pet food, trash, meat and water!
Kerflop http://kerflop.com is a freaking awesome blogger and web designer extrodinaire. She designed this webpage and is the bomb-diggity. I heart her to death. She’s having a wasp problem so I sent her to you to see if there was anything else she could do about it.
NOW.
YOU NEED TO TRY TO NAME MY CHICKEN.
Grin.
Cornelius.
And if I win, I’ll send a link over to show people what I won. BUT NOT UNTIL THEN.
Li’l Clucker
I added you to my contest post for today too.

Chicken Little
ok…i thought about it and i vote:
“hot dish”
in memory of minnesota. heh. ;)
ps.
is hot dish one or two words? that part would be up to you i guess! haha!
Ethyl I think fits.
I came over from Lauras blog.
Mr. Quaker-Pants
I’ve decided it’s a lady chicken, and her name should be Eunice. Or possibly Bernice.
Back agian…I never win so I have been racking my brain for more suggestions.
Carl? I think it would go well with Claude. Carl and Claude! There is also a french character in the books I have been reading named Jean Claude. So perhaps Jean.
Smuffins because I look at the word, say it and it makes me laugh.
Harpo
Fernando
Pierre (However you spell it.)
Tobin
Mr.Toppers
That’s everything else…I may be back. I am shameless in my want to win.
Angela- You are too funny. I’m going to have a friend help me make a list in random order and without contributers names so it stays as impartial as possible.
However, there is only one name I am totally and completely blacklisting from the competition
FERNANDO.
HERE IS WHY: (Again, I have NO idea why linking code isn’t working here today)
http://loraleeslooneytunes.com/2006/03/12/the-suck-of-stings-or-fugly-fernando-and-my-fing-eyes/
Don’t worry. I can laugh after 15 years. You’ll probably laugh too, when you read it! :) Still, I wouldn’t curse my beloved chicken, thus!
That story was only something that could happen to you. I haven’t quite stopped laughing also because I was thinking “Fernando” might be the winning entry when I saw it.
I’ll enter another name as well. How about “Clucky Brewster” because of the socks?
Wensleydale. I win.
Please donate my certificate to the boys’ school. :-)
I want the chicken. I don’t care what his name is.
Brother-You slay me. Sushi before chelle anc I depart the UK on the 10th w/Lin and Nan? I shall call to arrange!
Oh, The Joys-See? This is why I love you and Holli (Baby-Faith). The chicken is the obvious winner. HE RULES.
Smuckers the Clucker.
ok, first thought was mother clucker and second thought was george. :-)
Arnold Schwarzen-egger
angus mac cluck! (can I vote twice??)
Or Jane Aust-hen??
Sure! Vote to your hearts content!!
(What the hell am I saying!? It’s already going to be freaking hard to choose! ACK!)
Cute-Cluck-Clan.
Would that be too racist for your chicken?
Thanks for playing, my little chickadee’s.
The contest is now CLOSED.
I will be posting the winner in the morning.
(Freaking big job! YAY!)
Holy Moly, right on the nose am I good or what?
Ok, I cannot leave it at 79 comments. (Freakishly unfair way to have OCD, huh? Couldn’t it have been over laundry or something???)
DONE.
Sorry that this is going to mess up the even comments!
Omg! I totally forgot about that post. I did read that before. LOL. Sorry to make a suggestion that brought up those memories. hehehe
lol
What about Chickie Odd Socks?
:o)
I know my blog is private.. there is a good reason.. but email me if you’d like “the key” at thepeanutmm@yahoo.com
Have a good weekend
