Default Strangest Donation due to your Blog?

I'll start: The other day someone said they might be willing to give me a live hog. (and my site is about stock trading!) :-) It was one of the many wonderful surprises that has come from blogging.

I have a paypal link, as I'm sure many of you do, and it does get used from time to time. On my donations page, just to be whimsical, I said something like I'd be happy to try to make any other kind of donation you want to make possible. If you want to give me livestock, I want to find a way to take it. I never thought someone would take it literally! :-)

How about a rooster? We need rid of one, but we don't butcher any of our chickens. (In fact, it was a mistake that we ended up with a rooster. He was supposed to be an arucauna hen.)

Let me explain his most charming selling points:
*We've taken to calling him Poncho, but he'll answer to anything.
*He's a mean, mean rooster.
*His hobbies include hen-raping, hen-pecking, hen-killing, and threatening dogs more than 4 times his size. He also will not hesitate to take out a 2 y/o human.
*He has beautiful feathers. More than one fly-fisherman has looked on him with hunger.
*If you accept Poncho into your life, you'll never need an alarm clock again! He crows at 4:00am, 4:02am, 4:05am, and at regular intervals thereafter for the rest of the day!

How could I ever resist such a persistent and devoted personal development coach?

LOL! How portable is he? That is, can I turn him off by putting him in a box when I wake up in the morning? B-)
