	The San Diego Chicken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The San Diego Chicken -- originally known as the KGB Chicken -- an advertising mascot played by Ted Giannoulas, was hatched in 1974 when employees of KGB Radio hired Giannoulas from off-the-street to wear the chicken outfit for a promotion to distribute easter eggs to children at the San Diego Zoo.
		The current official mascot of the San Diego Padres, however, is not the Famous Chicken, but the Swinging Friar.
		The chicken appeared at WrestleMania XV and WrestleMania 2000, although, the costume was worn by Pete Rose at WM XV.

	San Diego Padres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1969, San Diego joined the ranks of Major League Baseball as one of four new expansion teams (the other teams were the Montreal Expos, now the Washington Nationals, the Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Pilots, now the Milwaukee Brewers).
		Their original uniform colors included the color brown (a favorite color of Smith's, which also adorned the buildings of the bank he controlled), which would be retained through the 1990 baseball season, despite several changes in style.
		Gwynn, Winfield, Jones, Fingers and Graig Nettles (3B, 1984-87) are also members of the San Diego Hall of Champions, which is open to athletes native to the San Diego area (such as Gwynn and Nettles) as well as to those who played for San Diego teams.

	Current Online \| The case of Barney v. Chicken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In a summary judgment issued July 29 [1998], U.S. District Court Judge John McBryde ruled that, because both Barney and his feathered foe are distinct, well-recognized characters, the the San Diego Chicken's rap-dance contest and sparring match with a Barney look-alike does not infringe on the popular dinosaur's trademark.
		Lyons alleges that the Famous Chicken's duels with a purple dinosaur infringe on its copyright and trademark on the Barney character.
		Chicken tries to get Barney to "dance in a hip-hop, urban manner," but the purple one dances in a "child-like way," bouncing simplistically from foot to foot, until the Chicken slaps him a few times.

		The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop is a classic-- they have been in business since 1938, and from what I can tell, they have changed very little over the years.
		The chicken pie itself is a tasty celebration of carbohydrate-laden comfort food: flaky crust, generous with the meat, and rich gravy.
		Their cole slaw is the best I have found in San Diego, so if you like your slaw on the sweet and creamy side, give it a taste.

		San Diego - There are times when our most cherished liberties hinge on such weighty questions as this: Does a man in a chicken suit have the right to mock one dressed as a TV dinosaur?
		In a case rife with free-speech issues and high silliness, a federal judge in Texas has ruled that The Famous San Diego Chicken can continue performing a skit in which he mocks and slaps around an ersatz Barney, the purple dinosaur familiar to just about anyone who's had a waking moment during the past decade.
		The ruling was welcome news for the 44-year old Giannoulas, who has weathered court battles and controversy since a San Diego radio station hired him as a chicken-suited mascot in 1974.
