how [do] you make that little "1" after "hogmaster"?




Hold down the ALT button and type in a given number code (see below). When you then release the ALT button the symbol appears:

0176 degree symbol °
0185 superscript 1 ¹
0178 superscript 2 ²
0179 superscript 3 ³
0191 inverted question mark ¿

Do a google search for " ascii codes " and you'll find more information.

I like J because Rhode Island Red sounds funniest.
I also like the three reasons why he selected that sort of chicken.
Of all the chickens I have ever known Rhode Island Red does, indeed, have the most comic appeal and would be chosen by an author simply for that value.
I love the sound chickens make when, in a group they sort of mumble to themselves. I wonder if it is akin to a cat's purr.
Who knows about chickens. Do they "purr"?

I prefer Buff Orpington as a humourous chicken name. and they're pretty chickens, too.

Really they're just grumbling about what a cad the rooster is.

I never thought of chicken purring nemo, but I know exatly what you mean. We had chickens when I was young, and I remember the tone being a little higher than purring - like an alto versus a bass.
