Why have there been multiple instances of guys dressed up as chickens descending on RBS’s Stamford trading floor, the most recent one being this past Friday? Well, last time we checked, RBS doesn’t have to explain itself to you but if you must know, apparently it’s kind of their special birthday thing. Got a birthday? You get a visit from a guy in a chicken suit. It’s unclear if last week’s special guest “lead half the trading floor in the chicken dance while a good chunk of surrounding desks clapped along in unison,” as had been done in the past, but it stands to reason.

    This was our bonus, but they didnt have enough money to buy us each one of our own so it rotates around the office.

    Word is that the chicken has been offered a certain someone's old knighthood.

    Are you sure it's not the same guy? RBS has a pretty liberal casual Friday policy.

    This grainy, blurry still photograph remains the most conclusive evidence of the existence of El Chuckabras to date. I know what I saw, it was real, not a costume.
