People, please do not argue over trivial matters – keep things in perspective.
Kitsune's Thoughts 
lol what episode of hayate is that?
I have no idea because I have not watched this anime, but the picture was so sad 😦
Hayate was awesome. It left off saying there would be a second season, but I have yet to hear anything about it…
ANN lists Hayate OVA as a sequel to TV series.
@lelangir: I’m almost certain it’s in the very first episode of the series.
Anyway, so this is quite a negative census? The number one reason makes sense, it’s happen to myself as well… Though the reason that says “Couldn’t find any chicken” is very surprising. I don’t really see how this would ruin your Christmas and leave a scar on your memory of it, but maybe there is some reason behind it that I don’t know about…
Yes, chicken was very surprising, but very few people fail at that 😛 I am a vegetarian anyway, so don’t have to worry about chickens 😛
Unfortunately, some people make big deals out of very minor aspects of life.
How can you possibly call chicken minor?!?
@lelangir
Confirmed for 1st episode of Hayate.
My xmas plans = sleep… and maybe a walk to my old elementary school.
Ōkami-Sensei,
Yes, chickens are humans too…

Ffviiknight,
Sleep 😦 You need something more exciting to do! I am glad that you’ll visit your old elementary school though 🙂 You go there and… *suspense* see that girl! You meet, start talking, and… *gasp* Watered by whisper of the rain, flower of love blooms 🙂
Chickens are humans? Oh my science! I’m a cannibal!
Yes, how evil of you! 😛
That’s so fucked up
