A snake feeding on Phuket chickens apparently thought it could fly today

Phuket Snake Nabs Chickens and Wants to Be a Bird: Photo Special

Saturday, April 26, 2014
PHUKET: The chickens kept vanishing at a house near Rajabhat University in Phuket City so today the owner called in the Kusoldharm Foundation and they found the contented snake snoozing in a tree nearby, probably dreaming of being a bird. With some tree-climbing skills and dexterity, the snake catchers got their bird - sorry, their snake - high in the branches this afternoon.

Phuket Kusoldharm Rescue Foundation should receive a special price every year for all the good work they do, their daily effort is very much appreciated.

why did the chicken cross the road?

The snake is being held on suspicion of foul play and treeson! Unlikely to slither his way out of these charges.

Please don't diminish the birds by calling the snake a bird. [satire]

A disappointing result for comments where the topic had such potential. Just needed to get a bite from certain readers.
I would have expected Treelover to appear although maybe suffering from the shock of finding another snake curled up in the arms of his dearest. Even Martin has been quiet, although I believe will be more popular when reunited with olive Eyes... Swoooooosh!!!!!!

Man O War, Shouldn't that be " fowl " play? [ To work, puns rely on proper spelling ]

The night mare, congratulations on your contribution to this article. No, it could be foul or fowl, whichever I choose but thanks anyway.
When I work out the "satire" in your post, I'll let all know.
Let me guess, husband away for a few days and no one to annoy?

Man 'O' War, You misspelled a word, ( as your name) and screwed up your pun. Please don't bite my head off, just swallow your pride.
Chickens are fowl. What's foul is your online demeanor.

The Night Mare, the dosage you are taking is incorrect. Please seek help. No, I know who I am and can spell my name. I would normally say that as I cannot understand what you are on about or what your intention is, that you are probably just more intelligent than I, but making such a comment would just leave you with false hope.
I am sure others were able to understand and probably you will too once the chemical in balance is corrected.

Man 'O' War,
You misspelled a word and messed up a pun on a thread meant for laughs. Really no need to make an insulting, hugely assumptive personality analyzing issue of it.

The Nightmare, it was fun until the pedantic self obsessed, redundant ex teacher became involved. Thankyou, my appreciation of frankenspouse has just increased.

The Nightmare, I do understand that it's natural for you may be a bit marish at times but could it be that you are really just a Dark Jenny in disguise.?

Man 'O' War,
Again with the impotent assumptions couched in sopho-moronic insult resulting in no effect. btw The Night Mare is a very different thing than nightmare. You simply cannot respond without demonstration of how your English language skills are your clear disadvantage.
{ How we doing Ed, getting to any record on most comments on a thoroughly inane subject?]

Fact check. Maybe the snake was poisoned unconscious and put on the tree as scapegoat for the real chicken menace. Circumstantial evidence at best. Phuketwan is so prejudiced against snakes. And the chicken killer still on the loose. Check out the nearest KFC. A lot of evidence there!

I was just checking whether equine flu had any chance of working on an ass, mule or donkey. Unfortunately not, so it looks like my poor English skills will have to put up with your personality defects for a while yet, or at least until the people you usually annoy can take another dose.
I decided many years ago to remove those from my life who add no value, contribute nothing beneficial to ones life but just every now and then such a person appears and it makes you appreciate the on/ off button, the engaged tone, call waiting and caller id. Your associates probably have the same appreciation.

Man O War,
Just admit you blew your pun by spelling fowl as foul. (And from your responses, easy to see how.)

What on earth is going on, on this supposed news site? Manowar and Nightmare trading childish insulting comments with no end in sight from moderators...very strange indeed.Why don't you two get a room together and sort it out or at least keep it where it all belongs.ie in your kindergarden! This continueing BS is very annoying to all who may want to read the news.

Editor Comment:

The news is what appears in the articles above the comments, DwayneD. The rest is . . . well, not news. If we interfere in scraps between commenters, we could even be accused of interfering with freedom of expression.

DwayneD.
Really just a horse race to see if we can get this inane story up to the most comments through use of the usual expat cross-sniping. Have forgotten why, though.

Unfortunately The Dark Jenny is just one of those annoying people you occasionally come across who takes the fun out of a site such as this with her pedantic and self obsessed tendencies. She believes that her and only her should determine not only what each commentor calls them self but she should also be able to correct how they spell such. Beware, all incorrect spelling or English will be corrected by this nit picking, socialist, feminist in future.

Will there be a Rollos up Story? What happened to the knochentrocken s??nke? N?? more checken deadline?
Oh, I should change the spellcheck to correct English...
Where is the price winning follow up? How is the snake? Is it eating monkeys now? No more vanished chicken? And why did they cross the road?

Posted by Lena on May 1, 2014 16:02

Man O War,
You fouled the fowl. Just admit you made a mistake and drubbed the pun instead of exhibiting hysteria with diatribes of assumptive, personal insults to cover it up-'cause it ain't working. Besides, thought you were, "turning it off" ?

PW Ed, other online media reports have it the snake was not up in the tree, but placed there for a photo op. Care to comment?

Posted by The Night Mare on May 1, 2014 23:52

At least a good photo op. And no. 3 in the most commented section. Not bad for a snake in a tree and no chicken.

Lena,

c'mon- Man'O' War, we're on the stretch and you're only a length behind!!

I know you are a bit excited about the snake story. Probably been a while since you've been able to say, Wakey, Wakey, I've found myself a snakey!

I read on one other side on the internet, not this one here, but the one I do, that the snake is in fact afraid of heights. So your story does not fit anymore. Would you (Ed) like to comment? And while you do, could you please explain, where is the apple?

Posted by Lena on May 3, 2014 18:53

Editor Comment:

The apple's been eaten, Lena. No more paradise. Please catch up on your reading.

We have the chick, the snake and a guy on a tree but no apple. Somethings totally wrong here with your story.

Headline should have been: Thai Adam expels Treeloving Snake from Chicks Heaven, Strangley no iPhone involved.

I thought the story was about a snake who escaped up the tree after being hen picked and a few old grey mares turning up for a picnic. Did I say picnic, sorry I meant nitpic!

Man O'Wanna,
... 'casue you ain't mak'n no sense to anyone.

Lena, no apple, fowl fouled, snake treed to eat it.

Man- Oh, how he wants to be,

That would be hen-pecked, not picked.

You can pick, (or peck) on my typo- can you spot it?
