remember I always say... never stop editing? I finished this last night at midnight... of course, over coffee this morning, I went over it again (already posted though) and changed the very last line just a bit.
*sighs...
Someday I'll learn to leave well enough alone I suppose... then again... probably not. (the new file was uploaded)

No way... really? I do remember an old Sci-Fi movie where the aliens came down and took all these people away, and they gave the humans a book in their language... the final punch line was delivered to the main character as he is about to get on the spacecraft... 'don't go... we finally translated the text (The title of the bok was 'How To Serve Man') it's a cook book!'
I always loved that movie.

Vegtables are so very good for you... and though I would never totally give up my meat, it always amazes me that in a world where we can grow so much we still have to kill other animals to eat. Centuries of habit will never be turned quickly I suppose.

wow... that's so god damn funny. poor critters... gonna get eaten...:|
I love the imagery I get of all the characters, very well done.
and you know what's creepy?
I just sent my friend to mcdonalds to get me a double cheeseburger RIGHT before I read this.
I kinda feel evil now.

Damn, now I could really go for a hamburger. It's the animal's fault we eat them! That's what they get for being so delicious!
This story provided a laugh after a day in which I badly needed one. You have such an ear for dialog, you should really be writing screenplays or something like that.
The only crit I have is that the title gives away the twist - maybe drop out the reference to fast food?

How could I not like it, it had a rooster in it!
And it reminded me of this:

Well done. :) I was laughing for quite a while afterwards. It was particularly interesting for me how the little things Sparky said at the beginning of the story were sort of premonitions for the way it ended (with the spacecraft "Happy Meal 13"). XD
One thing that caught my eye on the second read-through was the stench he ascribes to the rocket propulsion of the spacecraft ("boiling oil"), which makes me wonder if it runs on peanut oil. XD Yay fast food rocket!
Overall, a fun story. :)

Very interesting. Hilarious. It made me smile, it made me snort. And rather unusual approach to the theme. Nice little story, I have to say, I enjoyed reading this. The human creature came back to eat the farm animals. Good work.
