fever dreams
Seem to have caught some chest-cold thing from the wife. No deep sleep last night. but lots of dreams.
I bred a bunch of tribble-like chickens that could derive nutrients from the air. No legs, no wings, no beak, just a healthy set of nostrils and small, almost vestigial eyes. Naturally happy creatures. Anything made them happy- gravity, immobility, being thrown up against a wall. They were quite content to sit on a windowsill and lay a string of yolkless eggs day after day. Sort of a modern day Schmoo. They purred like kittens.
I found they could be hypnotized by showing them a yellow flower, or even a picture of a yellow flower. They could then be shipped via mail anywhere in the world. I was sending them to Africa by the crateload. You could make them procreate by rubbing their ass on your sweaty armpit, they’d lay a fertile egg every time you did that. Leave the egg on a windowsill, and you had another chicken-tribble. I never did come up with a name for them. Steve Buschemi figured prominently in the dream for reasons I did not and do not understand.

Now that pegs the weird meter. Sounds like a neat critter. Eggs without the part you aren’t supposed to have and breeding them with sweat. Sounds like a winner to me.
Hope you get better soon as a summer cold is the pits.
The armpit thing made me LOL. Remember the weird creature in Marilyn Chambers’s armpit in Rabid?
Shmoos that died of joy when you needed to eat them. Laid steak, eggs, and milk, if I remember correctly. (I was pretty young when I was reading Lil Abner.) Abner’s plan was to send them to Lower Slobbovia to feed the starving masses of people who never got out of snow up to their armpits. Thinking about this for a minute made me realize that giving the Slobbovians all they could eat and drink without their having to work for any of it would make a bad situation worse. Capp was way ahead of his time, but I sure loved his adorable comic strip.
Who the hell would eat a yolkless egg?
I want one of these magic chickens.
