Just look at you! Pathetically small.
I am a well dressed, significantly sized chook.. and turtles always lose to me.
We chickens always will have fowl play with you. Your shell is cooked!
pooh furthermore is an innocent chook and I will defend his fowl rights!

I may be small, but that doesn't mean I'm pathetic. As I have lost to you in the Last-Poster-Is-The-Winner thread, I have also taken the win from you, making me the winner.

Although I may be a small turtle, I have a big brudder who is a massive box turtle that is twice as large as you. He also has a taste for chicken (he visited a local chicken restaurant that became known as a former chicken restaurant after his visit due to its complete lack of chicken after he left.

I guess we will have to conduct an investigation to determine PoohBear's innocence...

What, do you think they are superior detectives?

When I say I respect Poirot more than Holmes, it is not "because I like his character", it is "I get the impression he is far more capable and intelligent".

Holmes did predate Poirot by several decades. Poirot did refine things but Holmes was there first.

The reason I prefer Columbo over Holmes is because with Columbo the fun comes in seeing how he catches the criminal since we already know the following: how it was done and who did it. No matter how good the criminal thinks he/she is, they always make a small mistake that Columbo notices and uses to catch them (in one story, he figured out how the criminal committed the crime by noticing something wasn't there that should have been).

With Conan Edogawa (the name comes from a combination of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Alan Poe), in the manga/anime he is a character who was inspired by and models himself after Holmes and he is supposed to have detective skills on the same level as Holmes. He's so good that the Police go to him for assistance despite the fact that he is a teenager. Despite being reduced the size of a school child (due to a poison that was supposed to kill him) that forces him to disguise himself as a grade school student, he still solves crimes.

Returning to the suspicious events involving PoohBear, I was looking around an area near his coop and I noticed a small spaceship hidden in the woods. It was interesting that the ship had a seat the looked like it was made to fit a small chicken. Plus, I found a book titled "To Serve Chicken" in the ship...

I wonder if PoohBear is not a chicken but a chickenoid from another planet?

What kind of question is that supposed to be???


Also, why do you presume to assume that first should mean best?

While I have no doubt you have valid grounds for enjoying those shows, I am still waiting to hear the connection to what I said: "I have far more respect for Hercule Poirot"; was it merely a tangent, or do you believe one of those detectives has a quality(ies?) that makes them superior at the art of detecting?

Do you have any proof that this spaceship exists?
Are you aware there is an actual book "To Serve Chicken", written by AprilHare -- and it refers to leadership skills?

When you said "Holmes was there first", that included the concept that Doyle "started from scratch"... can I take your response to mean you still have no clue why it should matter?

Is this thread now the Sherlock Chicken Holmes thread?

Or are you all paying homage to those brilliant murderers mystery writers before me?

Absolutely not!

As I have reiterated over and over, it is Agatha Chicken all the way.
