hey this was an idea that chris sherman inspired and i was going to include
in the RPG but there was going to be this creature called the chickenitza...
it was gonna work like early in the game you'd go to a chicken farm and
you'd see a weird looking bird thing and when you examined it, it'd say
"damn weirdest bird I'VE ever seen"
then later on in the game, there'd be a mutant chicken with rocket wings and
laser eyes terrorizing a town and it would be the chicken thing grown up.
we could have a running chicken-themed gag in a bunch of our games hehe
