i> Away With The Fairies.: My Gang

My Gang

When I was about eight years old, I formed a gang with my mates Fatty and Spotty. I reckoned that by merely having a name and a logo we would strike fear in the hearts of our enemies. After kicking a few names around we decided on the 'Golden Eagles'. Being the least worst artist, I designed the logo. Unfortunately drawing eagles was not my forte and gold pens weren't available back in the '60's. Consequently when the other kids saw our 'colours' we came to be known as the 'Yellow Chickens'. We disbanded shortly after.

Oh dear. Kids today would just be able to download some sort of cool eagle pic. They have no idea how we suffered.

Were there any initiation ceremonies?

oh dear. i guess changing to call yourselves "yellow chickens" wasn't an option then? is that because clucking is not an overly terrifying sound for gangsters to make?

At least it's better than The Drab Sparrows.

Didn't Fatty and Spotty join the Bash Street Kids afterwards?

I love the way you tell a story. Your blog is a really good read. I laughed reading this story and it is usually pretty darn hard to make me laugh.

When I was around that age me and three mates decided we were ninja turtles (I was Donatello) and practised regulary by beating the crap out of each other before going out to save the neighbourhood from evil.
Our plans were thwarted when we couldnt find any evil.

snooze- I think that now, mearly having a logo is very uncool.

Frobe' If we had had one it would probably have been something really disgusting like kissing a girl.

JJ- It was a long time ago, but I think that may have been mentioned at the gang council meeting.

IDV- You may well be right there. Although the story is essentially true. I couldn't remember the names and F & S were the first names that came to mind. It occured to me later that we were too young to have a 'Spotty'.

Xtasy- Welcome. It was fun reading your blog too.

Hayden-As you possess both intelligence and taste, I value your opinion.

Fuckkit- Perhaps you could have started with people who dropped litter and worked up to evil meglamanic scientists.
Btw, I was passing your gaff today. BBC Radio Oxford? How come you get your own BBC station.

Blogger Fuckkit said...

We also have our own TV channel, Oxford Six.
Next we'll have our own currency and flag then we'll over throw the government and gain independence from the rest of the UK.

I might have made the second bit up though.

9:57 PM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

No I don't think you made it up, I think it was on Fox news. Something about the Oxford Popular Front.

Blogger Fuckkit said...

Damnit, me and my big mouth. I've gone and made our plans for world domination public.

9:24 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

I won't tell if you let me join up, Fuckkit.

Blogger Tickersoid said...

What say you fuckkit? A whorelock in the OPF. Could be an asset.

10:14 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

A "whore"lock?!

How VERY dare you!

I'm a veritable virgin and know not of such things.

Sorry it's the semi dyslexia thing.

Tee hee hee.

Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

Yeah, right... A convenient excuse, if ever I heard one.

10:25 AM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

Well I was being kind, but if you're going to get sniffy about it, what about your virginity claim? Not what I've heard. The wizards say your never out of the intertimeportal steam rooms.

10:28 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

Oh, that...

Well... ummm...

Ooh, I think there's someone at the door.

Must dash!

On a completely different subject: Can you get into Tina's today? I noticed at P&T's that you got part of her blog yesterday.
I haven't seen anything other than a blank screen for the pasty few days.

10:59 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

I obviously meant "past".

"Pasty" indeed...

10:59 AM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

Don't mention pasty's this morning.

No, that's all I've been getting at Sniffy's.

11:02 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

I wonder what she's doing?

I know she's alive because she posted at P&T's too. Or was it at Shifty's?

11:07 AM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

Maybe it's a post op' effect.

Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

What? Free Blog wipe with every mam excavation?

11:20 AM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

No, I mean she may have become all whoremoanal and wiped it herself.

Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

Bwah hah hah ha!

"Whore""moan"al - fantastic!

Ok Ok I know, I was just being a muppet with the numbers.

I've just heard a 'ping'. Lunch is served.

11:32 AM  
Blogger Inexplicable DeVice said...

Well, enjoy.

I guess I'll go and do some decorating.

Or get in the bath and read. Yes, that sounds more likely.

Chicken Jalfrezi, not sure that was a wise choice.

Blogger Tickersoid said...

Fnqueen- I don't know what happened to your post. But I'm going to be busy for the next four days. Working on a post that needs a reply from some one so that's on hold.

Blogger phlegmfatale said...

No doubt at 8 tender years you were a towering paragon of manliness, but rounding out the triumvirate with "Fatty" and "Spotty" would perhaps bode ill for any organization, regardelss of the name or logo. I'm just saying...

6:18 PM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

Shifty- You had a hen house and a barn. Wow, must have been great as a kid.

Phlegmy- I think you're right I don't think we were ever destined to drive black custom Hummers.

Eons ago, I was responsible for making banners the week my high school football team played the Monarchs. I painted butterflies as their mascot. I swear it never occured to me that they'd be Lions. The Monarchs beat the shit out of us, the Boll Weevils.

Blogger QChique said...

You should propose a contest for best design Golden Eagles/Yellow Chickens. I bet there could be hope for this "gang" yet.

8:22 PM  
Blogger Fuckkit said...

Good idea Qchique, I so wanna be in this gang. We could stalk the blogosphere stealing lunch money and striking fear into the heart of *blogspot.com.

*jumps up and down*

Suddenly I feel like I belong.

*sighs*

Yellow eh?

You do know that yellow hankies and the like have a very particular meaning in poof circles?

All the colours of the rainbow have a meaning.

We might do an educational post over at our place tonight.

P&T, don't the hankies also have slightly different meanings depending on what pocket they're hanging out of?

All a bit old skool gay for me though :)

Blogger Cezi said...

“Yellow Chickens” That’s hilarious! Was it a bike gang?

10:27 PM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

Justsayin- I didn't cotton on to what you were saying then, must be the Boll Weevils.

Qchique- Maybe we could get Damien Hurst to design half of each, separated in two perspex blocks.

Fuckkit- Yes and put their heads down the toilet. I suddenly feel inspired.

P&T- I think gay culture went over our heads in those days, Fatty did have some glitter on his wooden scooter. Makes you think.

Brianne- Thanks, are you interested in the film rights?

Fuckkit- Hankies? Well have to thow that over to the 'Old Poofs'.

Cezi- Nahh, we did have wooden scooters. Not exactly 'Marlon Brando in the 'Wild One'.

Blogger phlegmfatale said...

I've seen the hankie code legend, and someone has put a lot of thought into that. I always crack up at the rainbow array of hankies available in homey-type craft stores in the USA. I'll bet there's been some odd lurking on that aisle once or twice. Anyway.

the gang - I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna be in your gang, tickersoid. I'll be the official nipster and knee-cap-buster. OK?

2:17 AM  
Blogger Tickersoid said...

PIggy and Tazzy have done the post on the hanky code for those who need or want to know. just click on the link on the right hand side.

Phlegm' could be 'The Texas Chainsaw Knee-capper'.

Green Vulvas? You should go the doctors with that, mate.

Erm, I managed to 'lose' the hankie code post.

I'll put it back on later tonight.

Anyway, isn't it time for another post, you lazy cunt? All this chit-chat all over the place and neglecting your faithful readers.

Collector- These days, I'm up at late hours, going to the toilet.

Fuckkit- Yey I'm back!

Fukkit, I too was Donatello, and there was no evil to be found in Snowdonia either. Although we did eat a lot of pizza.
