[edit] History?
Does anybody have any idea where the idea of the rubber chicken came about? Are there any famous comedic skits or comedians that used a rubber chicken? If one, say, gets a rubber chicken for Christmas, what could he do with it? authraw 18:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- I got a rubber chicken as a present once, just today I wore it like a stethoscope. Coleslava 22:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origins
I don't want to get into an edit war over a rubber chicken, so let's talk this out first. Firstly, a poem is not a source; if you can provide another one, let's see it, please.
Secondly, you shouldn't just blind revert, especially after I've tried to clean up the prose and make it more encyclopedic *and* place the reference in the correct context. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see you added it again based on the manufacturer's tag. That's the other reference I saw. I think I saw it referred to on the manufacturer's own website. -Barry- 03:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

- Actually, it's from a web discussion (the link is in the edit summary). The source is still third-hand, but it's close enough and at least spoken of in a factual context rather than a poetic one. Anyhow, it's sorted. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Atheist Rubber Chickens?
""Rubber Chicken" is also a term for an atheist who dismisses the very notion of gods."
Could someone cite a source for this? Sounds fairly pejorative to me - and I'm not even an atheist.
