#cluckme — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #cluckme, aggregated by home.social.

  1. During our ongoing renovations, I found out that there has been the addition of a tiny pink unicorn to the interior of the walls here at #ThisOldClownHouse.

    This diminutive mythological housemate lives behind a panel which looks like a periscope, and thus they need an appropriate name for a one-horned spy.

    In the spirit of the #CluckMe name-off, I present the #UniPoll

    I'll post the "Nomin-Neighs" momentarily...

  2. Ok, it's come to my attention that we have a tiny pink unicorn spy embedded in our walls, and I have been encouraged to run another #CluckMe style poll to let fedi name this diminutive en-horned secret agent.

    Now I couldn't possibly do this without a list of name suggestions...

  3. #CluckMe also generated a number of spare chicken names.

    If you happen to be creating an adorable crocheted or knitted fowl of your own, feel free to borrow one of these fedi-approved names:

    Barbara
    Bobbie Jo Clucker
    Delores
    Duck
    Fannie Featherdown
    Folicity
    HENrietta
    Hettie
    Mandy Pear
    Pauline Poulette
    Petunia
    Pippa

  4. #CluckMe's #FinalCluckDown has spoken, and this adorable crocheted lady has officially been named "Mabel" by the fediverse.

    Thank you for playing along, and helping name #ThisOldClownHouse's newest resident.

    Thanks especially to @secretsloth, for sending Mabel to stay with us. :)

  5. There's only 11 hours left in the #FinalCluckDown round of the #CluckMe crocheted chicken name-off.

    #TeamMabel currently has the lead.

  6. Right at the start, #TeamMabel's dedicated fans have flocked to her feathery side!

  7. As the #CluckMe smack talk needs to rise to absolutely epic levels for the #FinalCluckDown, I have thrown together this shell script to help my hacker friends join in with proper Shakespearan insults.

    Have at, thou venomed tickle-brained pumpions!

  8. Dear Gentle Readers,

    Please do us the honor of voting for Mabel in this final round of the
    #CluckMe naming poll, to show #TeamMabel we are as honorable in defeat as we would have been in victory.

  9. A reminder that boosting #CluckMe polls is considered cheating, and is actively encouraged. :)

  10. I am amazed to see #TeamHENrietta in the #FinalCluckDown of #CluckMe

    My acro partner has been #TeamMabel all the way through this silliness. As chicken name-off wrangler, I am unable to cast a vote .

  11. This is it...the #FinalCluckDown

    After three wild rounds, these two names are going head to head to become the official name of the adorable crocheted chicken with @secretsloth gifted the clowns.

    Make your choice, and become a part of #CluckMe history...

  12. #CluckMe round three brought the excitement with some incredibly close wins.

    Winning by only a few votes each, #TeamMabel and TeamHENrietta are facing off in the final round!

  13. Dear Gentle Readers,

    It is with heavy heart that I report we have failed Fannie Featherdown. It is with the utmost respect that we tip our hats to
    #TeamMabel and concede our defeat.

    Be strong, Mabel, may you win the final round and be crowned the rightful name for the crochet chicken.
    #CluckMe

    Sincerely,

    #TeamFannieFeatherdown

  14. 52 vs 57

    Come on every chicken, we can do better than this. Only three votes to tie, four to take back the lead.

    Please vote for Fannie Feathedown if you haven't yet. Please ask your friends to vote if they haven't.

    Shave off that facial hair or put on a wig and vote again! Dust off those novelty accounts you have ignored because they're automated and use them to vote.

    We can save Lady Fannie Feathedown's honor still! Shake a tail feather!

  15. Round three of #CluckMe is still any chicken's game. Make sure you've picked your favorite name for our lovely crocheted chicken.

    The final round starts in about twelve hours, and I have no idea which teams will face off for the final.

    #TeamPaulinePoulette
    #TeamMabel
    #TeamHENrietta
    #TeamFannieFeatherdown

  16. Great news, friends! We're closing the gap. 50 vs 51 at time of posting. It's within a claw's grasp of taking the lead again for dear Fannie Featherdown. Honor dictates we must! Please, ask one and all to vote in the name of honor and support Fannie Featherdown!

  17. Dear Gentle Readers,

    At time of posting, we're down 44 to 48, in defending Lady Fannie Featherdown's good and honorable name. We need to rally the chickens and storm the coop to stuff that ballot box — the clowns did say any and all cheating is rightfully encouraged, after all. Though do be kind to our hosts and make sure it's amusing.
    ​:blobbee_wink:​

    Do you have friends who haven't been on Fedi lately but still have an account? Ask them to vote! Can you boost this Quote Post (which will just show the poll toot as a link on masto instances, sorry) appealing to everyone's honor and good sense?

    Please vote Fannie Featherdown and ensure that honor is served in this naming bracket.

    Thank you.

  18. The race between #TeamPaulinePoulette and #TeamHENrietta is still a tie? An absolutely shocking turn of events!

    Only one of these #CluckMe 'nom de plumages' can prevail. Cast your vote now:

  19. It seems that, for the moment, #TeamFannieFeatherdown has maintained her lead in this round of the #CluckMe crocheted chicken name-off.

    However, we all know how fast fortunes can change in this high stakes game of plush poultry personalities.

  20. @[email protected] True story, I was doing a bracket for everyone's favorite episodes from the first season of Star Trek Prodigy just before the second season released, and I had multiple polls tie. Multiple. >.<

    It's infrequent, especially with the activity
    #CluckMe is getting, but it can happen. I figured even though I'm gonna cheer #TeamFannieFeatherdown on to the end, it didn't hurt to hedge my bets by putting this out on the table.

  21. The collision of day four of #InternationalClownWeek and the ending of round one of the #CluckMe crocheted chicken name-off was unplanned, however our performing company's photo archives did provide the perfect image.

    This was from early in the run of Salmagundi, a monthly dinner theater show we performed in an old historic theater. A new show every month means we were working constantly, and it's during that blur that I really learned how to bolt together a show.
