No fish-assed-tasting chicken was served.

Rooster at the Hitchin' Post, David Sedaris' latest offering for Esquire, can be found in the September issue of the magazine. Yes, that Rooster got married and David Sedaris writes about the days leading up to the wedding.

What made me absolutely giddy about this piece was that it was accompanied by four photos of the happy couple -- including one full-page shot. Now in the past, I have questioned the existence of The Rooster -- or at least The Rooster as described by Sedaris. David Sedaris has even admitted in past interviews that he adds a bit of exaggerated color to his stories. After seeing these photos, I felt reassured that the world was indeed good and The Rooster did indeed exist. What's more, The Rooster has his own flooring company, a division of Silly "P" Floorworks.

And you can buy T-Shirts, too.

And did you see the link from the Rooster's website to youcantkilltherooster.com? Not much there, yet, but you can order "You can't kill the Rooster" t-shirts!

I was absolutely dancing on air when I saw the Esquire at the airport. Not only was the Rooster in it, but also two of "my" men: Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton.

At Playboy's site, you can hear Sedaris reading part of "You Can't Kill the Rooster." It was definitely GREAT to actually see what Paul looked like. And you can't beat the picture of him wearing his flip-flops with his tux.
