Flying Fowl

When Pete had his meltdown,did anyone wonder WHERE the projectile chicken ended up, after he threw it off the terrace? Yikes! We can only hope that maybe Chauncey found it and had a nice meal...(sorry, just a little levity...folks have been very intense on the site this week!)

Maybe some homeless person got a free meal courtesy of the Peter Campbells! LOL

Personally, loved it! Ranks up there with Betty's BB gun antics......

I was wondering what floor the Campbell's live on? If it was very high, someone could have been seriously hurt!

I was kinda hopin' Joan's bastard FI was passing underneath the plate and got hit with it.

user-pic

Oh god, yeah, the doctor needs to be "bonked" on the head big time.....

I love their apartment and the beautiful terrace ... sigh

I assume Trudy's chicken landed close to Midge's tossed television - figuratively: gone.

.....Sounds like a lawsuit to me! Today, you would have ten people calling 911, then ten lawyers and running to the pharmacy for a neck brace, all the while getting everything documented on their cell phone cameras.

....I know it's dangerous, but it was so damned funny!

user-pic

Yes, that scene was hilarious! I wondered what the people in the apartment under theirs thought when this baked chicken falls out of the sky onto their patio! Can we say Pete's goose is cooked???

Reminds me of the time one of my friends was bbq-ing chicken on his balcony and lost control of one of the pieces just as the girl in the apartment beneath him was looking over her balcony at someone on the street. The chicken ending up bouncing off the back of her neck. Needless to say, she was pretty pissed! Lets hope Pete's chicken missed any pedestrians walking on the street below. Can you imagine someone coming back to their parked car and finding a fully cooked chicken on the winshield? Gives new meaning to takeout dinner.

user-pic

hehe And he hollars "Hell's Bells, Trudy...."!

user-pic

@herbalpertrocks: And then your friend didn't even invite her up for some BBQ?! Cheesy! LOL

user-pic

Right now BBQ chicken on the windshield sounds pretty tasty! I'd go for a free meal......

user-pic

And Pete wonders why Trudy has her father call Pete at work! He's nuts! I hope Trudy makes him buy her a new plate and that he slips and falls on bum due to the splattered chicken goo. There hasn't been a massacre of this scale since Betty and the chair! LOL

user-pic

These are my kind of people - into destroying inanimate objects - or throwing them! Yes!

I thought it was a great scene! Pete took out his frustration on a baked chicken. So much better than taking it out physically on Trudy or wrecking something of value. It vaguely reminds me of the time a neighbor's dog somehow got tangled up in our family barbecue grill and pulled out the rotisserie basket from the grill itself, then went running lickity-split down the driveway, the electric cord of the rotisserie basket with the chicken inside wrapped around one of its legs. It ran for a block or so before it finally returned to the scene of the crime. Needless to say we had something else for dinner that evening.

The chicken probably didn't hit anyone. Remember a couple of episodes ago when Pete was talking to Peggy -- he mentioned he lived on E. 83rd St. and said it was a "ghost town?"

user-pic

Which hit first - the chicken or the plate?

user-pic


....Actually, I think that chicken would be through the windshield, and in the driver's seat!

Sigh. Gone are the good old days when you could throw stuff around and not get into trouble.

Ritt: That's witty.

user-pic

I repeat...
Does anyone recall hearing what floor Pete and Trudy's apartment is on?

default userpic

greytone: Sorry, no. I don't think it was ever mentioned in the show.

user-pic

greytone:
The floor would be in "New Amsterdam" if anywhere.

But judging from the outside view when Pete was grilling outside on the balcony (Three Sundays?), it's got to be above the tenth floor.

At least Pete didn't chicken out when he talked to Trudy's daddy.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
