Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Well the weekend is over so I sent a PM to see what the heck is happening with Monroe, and I'm sorry to hear bout your wheel bearings haha!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Poor Monroe ,seems he has been Birdnapped again.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Something has gone a "fowl" for sure....

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

It just might help if Monroe wasn't such birdbrain. Or maybe not.... ;)


Oh wait! Let's fling some angry birds in Monroes general direction. That ought to get some attention.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Man, I hope he didn't get chick-napped by Popeye or Colonel Sanders :/
Crispy or regular...... I shudder at the thought.... :eek:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

We had KFC yesterday and it tasted kinda funny ,I wonder ............

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

always a few bad apples that ruin it for everybody wtf

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

it is sure a shane it went so good at the start and now two or three people mess it up this bad.:waah:maybe it will get back on track soon

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

This guy who went away for two weeks said he would make it quick when he got back on the 25th, haven't heard a word, and now it's the 28TH!!! I am biting my lip but it's getting harder by the minute. Has this site changed that much that the fun thing we did a few years ago that brought so many here together is just not doable with this newer bunch? It sure appears that way. How chicken poop! C'mon people. This is supposed to be fun and interesting. I'm getting more "What is wrong with people?" frustration I look to get away from here than enjoyment. Dang, that disease, whatever it is out there, is seeping into this site now. I don't come here to get angry, but that sure is the way I feel right now. I may have to ignore this tread and just hope to see Monroe when he shows up here. Then I will do all I can to make up for the dullness. Thanks to the first couple few who have made this happen. Is it that hard for the others to figure out how this works and why we are doing it? Dayum! I'm not the only one feeling this way. Special-K is too!!

Now that is a cool pic and I feel the same way.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I feel the same way and I feel responsible for the lull. I'm the one that picked Monroe's destination.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Don't feel bad -- I chose the location that didn't work out before you got Monroe and felt bad about it too. But none of us has any way of knowing when bad timing will happen (other than when dates are written on the address labels). But you did your job and took some awesome pics. It actually made me forget that there was a lull before this one because of the good follow through that you had.

Monroe will be back in the game, we're just hitting some snags. I'm holding out hope that the current member will redeem with some good pics and updates. He did take the time to update the thread while he was out of town and found out Monroe was sent to him.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

You guys are cool in my book for sure. I asked for people that wanted to participate. I asked them to be sure they wanted to do this. To be sure they would only hold on to Monroe for a few days or so. I also asked for times that would not work for them so it could be noted on their address label.

I think the few of you that actually saw inside his little box home (so far) could see that we are pretty well organized. Sharpies, tape, premade labels and extras to add others that want to play along. After the good times we all had with Bonnie traveling all over the world I figured keeping Monroe in the US for now would really keep things hopping LOL. There were a few hiccups last time too, maybe we are just getting them out of out system early this time ... There ya go, that was my happy face on the whole thing =)

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I woke up from a bad dream because of this

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Thanks Tim, your last couple of posts have helped with the mood Thanks in this thread. I really appreciate it.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I dunno, since I'm on a 'puter wondering where Monroe is, I figured I'd try Googling for him. So, I Googled "Hitchhiking rubber chicken" and came up with this:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Hellllp meeeeeee! Pleeeeease!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Ah hahahhaha!! Too funny!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

LOL... Nothing happened to my wheel bearings- I switched them with USA made Timkens during the install! As soon as I saw "CHINA" on them they were done.

CPP - Chinese Product Pushers.....


My 10 y.o. asked me on the weekend "Dad, when is that chicken getting here?" I told him about it months ago. I couldn't believe he remembered.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I agree with special K- this is crazy. I like to trust people & believe they will do what they say they will do- I'm slowly learning the world is producing more flakes & liars everyday

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I had a mod remove several pages of our shenanigans when Monroe was stuck in Utah for a month, this time I think we will just let it ride.

Nothing back yet from the PM I sent to current holder of Monroe.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

well whose the jackass that has him this time, make it public, maybe that will get the ball rolling

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Let's not get the thread shut down before it gets rolling haha!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

The "newer bunch".... thats ripe! ----- ;)

So now all us newbs are ALL ..... 'Mail Malcontents'..... :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

This is insane... do we at least have a tracking number for where he ended up???

*Hoping he's not at my house... my wife likes to put boxes in the garage where I can't find them...*

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

So, did a mountain lion or a bear attack you? He's had plenty of rest. I think the right thing to do would be forfeit your moment on stage and pass him on like right now. You had double or more your time already and have gotten plenty of attention. Not our problem you didn't use it as it was intended. Think of the rest of us and get him rolling. Silence is golden. I hear you loud and clear. You don't want to do this and want to send him on. Wise move. Over!

EDIT: Well, not quite yet. I just checked your profile and your last activity was 3:51 today, about an hour ago, and not even a post here? WTF?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Lets keep the comments more on the amusing side, and remember this is a family site and a family thread, so no matter how you spell it that is not a word I want my grand kids reading when they sit down and read the Rubber Chicken thread with grandpa.

Trust me guys I get the frustration, but lets keep this thread open, because I "know" Monroe will "possibly" show up again haha!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

My apologies.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

My mother taught me this one.

Mary had a little lamb. Her father killed it dead. Now it goes to school with her between to chunks of bread.

Yep. Mom grew up on a farm.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

there is really no good reason why have not heard something back from them.It is sure ashame how one or two people can mess the whole deal up, this is suppost to fun.It has been a week since they were suppost to be home. surely they could tell us something atleased answer the pm.or just send to the next one. I'm ready to drive up to up there to save him(Monroe).oh well I will get off my soapbox now.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Im getting some PMs and emails that are kind of bumming me out (nothing rude) so Im going to ask a mod to lock this for now. It looks like Im going to have to rethink this a bit. Ill have Monroe sent home for now. Sorry guys ... hang tough.

I sent another PM to the current holder of Monroe and asked him to send Monroe back to me.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

please don't give up on it just because of a couple of bumps in the road,it's can work and be fun again

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Not giving up. Just going to redo the list and a few other things.

Monroe Has Reappeared
 

I found a beat up USPS box on my front porch when I got home from work this afternoon. I just ordered some parts and thought "you gotta be kidding me- did they run over the box with the big brown truck?"
It wasn't parts.... Look who showed up today.

It was a quick turnaround for him, as soon as he got out of the box, my kid got home we had to take off for Karate class. They were eyeballing each other pretty good but are already bonding.

http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...so0dqbozv.jpeg

We'll see how we can entertain him for a few days and he'll get shipped back out to the next host. We'll see if we can get this moving for good.

Re: Monroe Has Reappeared
 

Thanks so much for this ... hang tough and we can reopen the old thread. Really happy he turned up to someone that actually gets this!!!!!

Re: Monroe Has Reappeared
 

IVe PM a mod to open the old thread. Would you mind posting your pictures there please as soon as its open. thanks again.

And your son doesn't look all that happy to be with Monroe haha!

Re: Monroe Has Reappeared
 

He was wearing his fighting face for class (and putting on a show for the camera). He hasn't stopped messing with Monroe since he got home. The squeaker will probably be worn out before he gets put back in his box.
