Sadly, Chicken Man was mistakenly sent to a prison in a foreign country and was fricasseed. The administration said "Whoopsie" so all is good now.

donnadifora.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’m crying

arghchive.bsky.social•58 days ago

He’s great! I was over at his house just the other day.
He’s fostering a whole bunch of new chickens.

murdo6.bsky.social•57 days ago

I miss Chicken Man. Truly hilarious.

aloysiustheband.com•58 days ago

My god… well at least there’s nothing busing in from out of state

escmike.bsky.social•58 days ago

are we talking about the guy who cuts traffic cones with copper wire as a hobby?

finstersghost.bsky.social•58 days ago

he's everywhere! he's everywhere!

jjgabin.bsky.social•58 days ago

He's playing dervish...

theknuttel.bsky.social•58 days ago

I always have to like double think about this because there’s also a dude in philly who used to go to metal shows dressed as a chicken, no wait its the other chicken guy

escmike.bsky.social•58 days ago

There’s a third guy in Philly that got famous for eating 40 rotisserie chickens over 40 days.

russ41.bsky.social•58 days ago

The first one I thought of, which added a bit of bonus confusion to this post for me.

theknuttel.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yeah i know thats the one hes probably talking about, as it made the rounds on social media etc

rocksorsomething.bsky.social•58 days ago

I thought that was who he meant

jimphilly70.bsky.social•58 days ago

Sorry to say he got blown up and the blew up his house too.

eakmankate.bsky.social•58 days ago

That's what I heard. Wonder if it smelled like rotisserie chicken...

prunetuckybyron.bsky.social•58 days ago

He's everywhere, he's everywhere!

Benton Harbor?

rulpeterson.bsky.social•56 days ago

I got that reference!

ruddiohead.bsky.social•58 days ago

At least all my friends who work at the mill with their dads are happy and fulfilled, right?

justsommguy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Time to take a big sip of coffee and then listen to the second track...

🎶 Chicken man dies baby that’s a fact

Maybe chicken man that dies, some day comes back 🎶

mikeny55.bsky.social•58 days ago

I heard they blew him up. And blew up his house too.

missfrijole.bsky.social•57 days ago

I'm pretty sure he's still around. Early last year I spotted him at a local restaurant where I was also eating.

mikeomalley.bsky.social•58 days ago

I was in College in Philly when the chicken man bought it

bensonisrad.bsky.social•58 days ago

I'm old enough to remember before they changed his name from Bruce Berenstein.

outside-the-bubble.bsky.social•57 days ago

Seeing all the comments with Springsteen lyrics makes me smile.

falschspieler.com•58 days ago

Did the chicken man marry the chicken lady?

mikelindgren.bsky.social•45 days ago

this reminds me, I should check in with my friend Ralph from Mahwah. I think he mighta lost his job recently 😞

caffeinebuzz.bsky.social•58 days ago

Indigo Girls wrote a song about him
https://youtu.be/FumzOu7pqGY?si=id1ed4LIZS_ZX00Q

invictahog.bsky.social•58 days ago

He was on the road to Austin

carideas.bsky.social•58 days ago

oh god! AND his house?!!

stupw.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh no. I walked past his house. I'm so sorry.

itsme-kate.bsky.social•58 days ago

Hank III does a killer cover.

gohphukyerself.bsky.social•58 days ago

I made it 6 bars.
No.

michaelv2v.bsky.social•58 days ago

Dead. Like the song says. He was blown up in a mob hit.

verreciel.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’ve known that guy for roughly a decade at this point. He’s still around.

dafrgama.bsky.social•58 days ago

“Oh no, not the chicken man! I gotta clear my head; time for a nice relaxing stroll on the boardwalk”

joshuaw.bsky.social•58 days ago

He lives in Japan now and is extremely overpowered for some reason

majestic8.bsky.social•58 days ago

Well, anyway. Wanna go to Atlantic City?

simonthingy.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’ll meet you there, tonight

cedarstreetentgrp.bsky.social•58 days ago

I'm putting my makeup on and fixing my hair up pretty 💄

simonthingy.bsky.social•58 days ago

If he plays Atlantic City when I see him in June, I’m gonna smile 😁

analografik.bsky.social•57 days ago

He will. You will smile. You might even cry a little. I did.

simonthingy.bsky.social•57 days ago

There’s generally a few tears during Bruce’s shows tbf

wtalty.bsky.social•58 days ago

He’s doing a lot better than the gambling commissioner- he was hanging on by the skin of his teeth even before that rumble on the promenade

jel23.bsky.social•58 days ago

I went to see what those racket boys could do, they have some pretty good pickleball skills!

bike2beer.bsky.social•58 days ago

He blew up.

gbmento.bsky.social•58 days ago

I'm also concerned about my old buddy Dan Singh. Sounded like he might be struggling to pay his electric bill these days.

perhensam.bsky.social•58 days ago

I live in Philly and I don’t know the Chicken Man. I think Bruce invented him.

sonofsirico.bsky.social•58 days ago

Google Phil Testa

perhensam.bsky.social•57 days ago

So there really was a chicken man!

samalamadingdong79.bsky.social•58 days ago

I know someone who would love to meet this chicken man, and she loves a good time, too!

gnipahellir.bsky.social•58 days ago

listening to this song as a kid in Australia in the 90s I had no fucking clue what it was about and I still don't

snorthover.bsky.social•58 days ago

It's a similar story to Standing on the Outside by Cold Chisel. (Except in that song, instead of Atlantic City, it's a TAB.)

matmills73.bsky.social•58 days ago

I thought it referred to the guy who used to dress up as Plucka Duck

markjkings.bsky.social•58 days ago

vankosky.bsky.social•58 days ago

That's wild. I knew a "Chicken Man" in Helsinki in the 80's.

yukongold3.bsky.social•58 days ago

He had a nice house too, I wonder what’s going on with that

patricklovesdogs.bsky.social•58 days ago

How's that boy of his doing?
