[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2394776, member: 2550"] I saw this happen to my father...only one time...well, it may have happened more, but I only witnessed it one time. Yes, I come from a line of Marines..all Hollywood Marines, even my nephew. I was talked out of, pleaded with and told to go to college...don't join the Marines. My dad told me he'd seen enough of Korea and the Marine Corps for the both of us, I wasn't missing anything. Back to the story... Yes, my dad had some fantastic fighting chickens when I was a kid. When he was a Jr. in High School he and my grandparents moved to So.Cal. He got to know some famous chicken fighters in California....and brought back to Oklahoma. ..true California Hatch. So, this led to people visiting my dad all the freakin' time, talking about his chickens,bloodlines, winnings, old time breeders and fighters and ultimately how much for a trio. Well, one time, there were some guys at the house (I was 8-9 years old) talking chicken stuff...feed, how much to feed and water, weight, type of gaffs or Mexican short blades..blah, blah. As they were talking, one of the guys mentioned he'd lived in Southern California (my dad lived there a short while as a Jr.and Sr. in High School then he joined the Marines..early 1950's. Well this guy kept mentioning how he was a Marine and had served in Korea. My dad ws like really??!! What unit were you with? Guy mumbled around. My dad raised one eyebrow...and asked his visitor..that he couldn't remember (my dad was trying to find some answers playing dumb)who the President was that stopped the war...was it Truman or Eisenhower...he couldn't remember AND what years was he in Korea?? Bottom line the old boy told my dad the wrong answers. My dad was cool and calm ..he didn't correct him at all. When the guy asked how much for some chickens, my dad told him he didn't sell anything to fake Marines, you need to get off his property and don't come back. Then when my dad went down the Jesus trail..was born again...he gave...GAVE..all his chickens and stuff to a buddy up in Maryland. After he found the Lord..no more chicken fighting. He kept a few for the bloodline...no more fighting 'em. [/QUOTE]
