Thanks for the kind words folks! I had a blast shooting that commercial despite the heat and oxygen deprivation (a natural consequence of mascotting). We did a lot more stuff that got cut out like back flips and back handsprings, but they clearly opted for Awkward Chicken over Athletic Chicken.

Growing up I loved the San Diego Chicken. The idea of being able to run around a sports field with impunity thrilled me. And then the Phoenix Suns Gorilla came out and I was amazed that a mascot could be so athletic. Btw, I'm not gonna lie to you, dunking on a basketball rim is just scary. That thing is build to hold Shaq; it does not move if you fly into it.

Unfortunately, no free Chick-fil-A for life for shooting it, although they did give me a coupon for a free grilled nuggets which I treated myself to afterwards. Hopefully the commercial will air a lot though and I'll be able to buy myself a lot of Spicy Chicken sandwiches with the residuals.

And Kathy, so cool that you grew up with cows. They are so beautiful. Molly did seem like she was getting annoyed at times, and when she snorted and started in my direction, I had visions of bulls sprinting after rodeo clowns...
