- Furnace Room Brewery ❤️
-chicken man in a can
-love it!!!!
-He always told my dad he would be famous some day lol
-Chicken George!
-There is a beer name after him
-Yes but the picture on the can is incorrect the chicken was never on the front of the bike...Furnace Room Brewery should change it in order to reflect Chicken George properly
-actually it's correct. I lived near the neighbouring area where we always saw him. I believe it was the front of his bike first before it was the back. Was always amazed how that chicken didn't freak on his fast turns.
-it is proper. ;)
- they probably have to deviate 40% off from the original image so that there’s no copyright infringement! Hahahaha!!!!!!
-I saw him with the chicken in front first then he rigged up the back
-Ya was on the front first until he wiped out on hungryhollow then switched it to the back I remember him telling us this at the mall once
-Remember seeing his bike parked outside Delrex Smoke Shop with Cluck Cluck waiting for him to finish shopping. She was staying put on her own—not enclosed!
- I remember he had a wicked wipeout in hungry hollow one year!
- Chuck Chuck was the chickens name 😊😊
- Cluck Cluck.
-He told my Dad his name was Chuck Chuck
-Then maybe I stand corrected! He lived with friends of mine for a while and they told me Cluck Cluck.
- yes it was Cluck Cluck
-Cluck Cluck
-I remember, He went everywhere with that chicken lol.
-The chicken man was my favourite gtown character.. told many people over the years very few believed he was real
-I actually witness him crash on the 8th line ...
-What happened to him? Has he passed?
- yes he has a few years ago now
- Loved the Chicken Man!!!
-I didn't believe the stories until I saw him myself!
- Didn't he have a Milk Case before the Rubbermaid Tote for his Chicken to ride on?
- I’m pretty sure you are correct. I remember the milk cases not the tote.
-I remember the milk crate too!
- He had a milk crate .Neilson green .. he would go by my house all the time on the 8th line main st south
-I came to GT all the way from BC to see the Chicken man. We sighted him the last day. (Actually visiting my dear friend Kathy Gastle who made it her quest to find him for me and my son.
- I remember him wearing a hat. It always made me smile to see him around town
-I had a store on guelph street Acadian Pools and watched hi often riding down the sidewalk and picking up speed riding by KFC
- basket was on the front
- I only remember it being on rear
- he actually moved it so you are both right. It all depended on the day. Sometime it was a red a crate up front.
- Any time I saw him basket was on the rear. I've asked others in town they say the same
-he had a red milk crate that somehow he flipped upside down and attached to the front of his bike. He wouldn’t travel on the roads like that but when he was stopped places that’s how it was. I watched him scare the heck out of more than a few children that got to close to the chicken too.
-Who was the chicken man?
-Some guy who lived out a Fred's yard in Limehouse...😏
-George Chaplin... originally from Pontypool Ontario.... eventually spending his last days in London ON
-I always remembered his first name but never knew his last...
I remember...no pun intended talking to him outside of KDC/Dr. haski's and he " Kid my Name is George" it nice to meet you...during my High School Days in the 90's...
He'd give us a head nod and we'd give him the same every day during period 3 at GDHS...OH and REBEL PRIDE INSIDE! 😉
-I remember my friends
saying to him "I like your chicken" when he was outside the mall in the mid 90s. He yelled at us "its a HEN! Not a chicken" lol
- I stood corrected. He deft taught me the difference between a hen and a chicken.
-Good ol’ Cluck Cluck
-He told me once the reason he had the hen was because it was the only young chick he could get......lol
-Lol he told me the same. Said his brother told him he needs to find himself a young chick, so he did! 😄
-What wonderful memories.
-What he didn't believe there was a real Chicken Man?
-I remember him! Such a sweet nice guy! He would always let me pet his chicken!
- He was the nicest dude.
-Omg I miss him!! Great childhood memory for sure.
-this is neat. Mum told me about the beer and after him. We're going to hit it up when we are back in town
-Seems like yesterday, time goes so fast!
-I miss seeing him around.
-The Chicken Man!!!
-I wonder if the guy knew he was/is famous
-this is the best thing I’ve seen ❤️❤️
-It was always so interesting to see him with his amazing chicken!
-He told us it was the only chick that didn't leave him.lol
-The chicken man he was the best
-He was one of the best parts of that town.
- We loved the chicken man!
-I remember seeing him and his Chicken I noticed your label had the chicken on the wrong place on the bike lololol
-I remember him !
-A daily sight.
-Remember him well!
-Oh my.... I can still see him standing by the pay phone … wow
-Awe George and chuck chuck lol, I remember them sharing an A&W burger outside the marketplace
-I remember him.
-I remember him well!
-In later years, didn’t George bungee down an upturned laundry hamper on the pillow to help keep Cluck Cluck in place?
-At the end of the day we had our own legend around town. Harmless man. Was not ever known to be upset with anyone.
We should be very proud that his memory had such an effect on this town to place onto a home town product.
-loves the man and the legend he left behind.
-he used to say this was only old hen that never talked back to him
-Frequented the ball diamonds 🙂
-What was his real name?
-George Chaplin
-He was originally from Snelgrove when it used to be in the middle of nowhere. Most of his adult life he lived somewhere on 5th Line in Limehouse. Sometime around 2010 he moved to London and unfortunately passed away there in 2013. He was 71 or 72.
I can’t find an obituary anywhere though.
- he told me he lived in a trailer in Fred's junkyard in Limehouse.
-My God !! Ι remember him !! Yes!!
-The chicken man I remember him
-I used to call him "Henny"
He told my friend she was a cuter chick than the one on his bike but that he was already married to the chick on the bike
-He was a nice man.
