An epic moment bestowed on us yesterday. After recording the Dancing Queens I decided that the next time I see Rooster, he would be next on the list. Well, later that day The Rooster stepped in and he didn't seem to mind at all that I was recording him. This guys is sure to be a hit. The short-shorts, the hat, that shirt, and the air guitar. It's all Rooster baby.
So, People of Ogden is proud to present to you - The Rooster!
The deal is, is that Rooster brought by a shopping cart full of junk to send in. But while he walked away the forklift driving accidentally tipped over the cart and all of Roosters stuff went everywhere. Rooster wasn't too happy, he punched the fence behind him several times (epic fail on my part for not getting it on tape), and then proceeded to bitch at the driver. Rooster was able to get his stuff back into order, but according to him the chair in the background cost him $8,000. And supposedly he bought the shopping cart for $400. He also has stock in the new Winco that opened up down the street. He also, claims that he owns a home.
I'm starting to think he's fuckin' crazy.

The Rooster was back again. Hell, he's our number one customer and People of Ogden is his number one fan. It was early in the morning, and to honest, Rooster wasn't as drunk as he normally is and in turn was a little more calmed down. He still performed a song for us, but he seemed to be recovering from the night before.
Rooster had a few more supplies on his hand and was ready to redecorate his hat. Like a costumed hero in a sequel film, a new costume is dawned everytime we see him. We got some footage of the master at work on his craft. It's like filming a grizzly bear from afar. Trying to get close enough to observe but not too close because you don't want to scare him off.
There are a lot of people who have commented that they have seen The Rooster out in the wild of Ogden City. We're thinking that if we all band together we can get some pretty footage of The Rooster and eventually build up a pretty good portfolio of this character. If you see The Rooster, please take a picture and then message us on the comment board. PeopleofOgden.blogspot.com will give you credit for the picture.

Apparently people must be enjoying the site because this week have some great additions with content sent in by avid readers of our site!
This first set of pictures was sent to us from a reader who saw The Rooster hanging out behind the new Winco shopping center. It appears that Rooster is in the process of constructing some kind of structure. Possibly, remodeling his home. Thanks avid reader for the submission!
Reminds me of those pictures that you always see of Sasquatch. Is The Rooster real or not?

This picture was also sent in by an avid reader. I guess they were stop at a light and only had a short moment to bust a picture of the legend walking the streets. But we still appreciate the pictures.

Rooster MP3's are now available for free. That's right free. It's good entertainment and all we ask is that you tell your friends. Here The Rooster singing gospel hits like Where the Roses Never Fade and Lord Build Me a Cabin in the Corner of Glory Land. Lord Build Me a Cabin in the Corner of Glory Lane - The Rooster.mp3

The ring tones are on their way, pending a review from the hosting website. But after that they should be here. I bet even Rooster never thought his voice could be a ring tone. At the same time, does Rooster even know what a cell phone is?

It's about time that we see some of our other characters. Where is Crack Head Bob, Lady Crack Head, Boyfriend/Son, Lester the Molester, or the Fly? Who knows. But one man we can also count on is The Rooster. He is always there to give us a daily does of entertainment. This time he came fully loaded and packed with song, which are now available as MP3's.
As I was speaking with Rooster, he told me that he could sell just about anything at anytime. He stated, "Hell, I could sell a petrified turd for five dollars if I ever found one."
I bet it makes for good beer money. Later I saw the Rooster digging into the dumpster just outside of the building. I snapped some photos of him dumpster diving, but those photos got lost as the camera I was using was a shared item amongts others.
At the end of the video, Rooster is holding an item that he pulled from the dumpster. He's pretty proud of his find.
Enjoy!

Rooster arrived today, and he had a little surprise with him - a new puppy. He first called her Chicken, and that seemed fitting being that he is The Rooster. The puppy is all black with a white stripe going down it's chest. Rooster calls her White Lightning. Sounds like a hair band name.The video isn't all that exciting because Rooster doesn't do much singing. However, the best part is the last five seconds when one of the female associates describe how foul Roosters feet smelled when he removed his shoe.
I like it better when Rooster comes in later in the day beside the morning time. He seems a little more liquored up in the afternoon.
Rooster did however, decide to plant himself in the corner and comb his hair out.
I took some pictures of him before he entered the building. He was literally separating bags of trash and removing aluminum cans from them. Like, he picked up some random trash bags from someones lawn and then started sorting it out.
Whatever it takes to get beer money, I guess.

The Rooster arrived again, and this time he was shirtless. Wow, it was an epic treat to see all the battle wounds that he received while as a prisoner or war during the 1970's. Well, that is at least the story that I made up for him.
He brought White Lightning in again today, and man, she's a little monster; Trying to chew everything in sight. But is still cute though.
The video I recorded isn't all that exciting for a 10 minute video. Hey, I'll be honest and say it isn't. But I have to record Rooster without making it look like I am filming him. Some days he sings and it makes for good video. But today, the Rooster was too tired to do much. He brought with him, what he believe is his record that he has ever brought in. Needless to say, he was a little assed out.
----
I'm trying to decide whether Rooster stole a baby or not. It could be that he is hauling around White Lighting in there. It doesn't look like it is his bike and carage. I guess he didn't have time to stop in today, he only rode by, but maybe next time.

I got this email from some avid readers containing some interesting footage of the Rooster and an even better story to go with it. Apparently, these readers were heading down Pioneer Rd in Plain City, and ahead of them in the distance was The Rooster riding along on his bike. So, the readers tried taking various photos of the Rooster while passing him by. I guess the first pass didn't work out so well, so they flipped a bitch and came back to shoot another picture. Below is the picture they got.
It's about as epic a photo of Rooster as you can get. Notice the gym shorts, the cowboy boots, and the Utah Jazz jersey, along with his cowboy hat. This is why we love the Rooster. But as you can see from the picture there was a pretty big flash coming from the camera when the picture was taken. I suspect that the Rooster had to have seen the flash going off.The story doesn't end there. The readers weren't just satisfied with one quick pass and a picture, so according to them, the made around three more passes. One of which was a video. The Rooster goes by pretty quick so the video isn't that long. But it's nice to know that The Rooster has a fan base.
This was another picture that the readers tried taking, but as you can see it is a little too far away.
The story continues the readers drove to the east end of Pioneer Road, right before the freeway, and stopped where the Chevron and Maverick gas stations are located. They stopped there to see if The Rooster was going to make a pit stop, and he did. The Rooster hoped off his bike and went inside the Chevron. The readers proceed to take a picture of his bike as it sat in the parking lot.
From this angle, you can see that The Rooster is also hauling a baby stroller filled with junk. How awesome is that? But I guess Rooster walked out of the gas station while they were taking the picture. The readers said that they turned around and started walking away down the street and that Rooster started following them. I assume Rooster caught on that some shit was going down, and he wasn't going to take it anymore. I guess I would be pissed too, if some little f**kers saw me and started harassing my ass as well.
But, Rooster is at Robert Patterson status now, so a little celebrity stalking is to be expected. Though I am sure that more women dream of Robert Patterson at night than they do Rooster. But I get calls and text from people all the time now saying that they've Rooster riding around town.
I guess Rooster gave up on following the readers after about half a block. I've heard Rooster talk about having a pistol and bullet shells in his pocket. These kids are luckily that The Rooster didn't finish them off.
We appreciate the readers efforts in capture The Rooster in pictures and video. But please be cautious when approaching The Rooster. He might be having a flash back of his days surrounded by the Vietcong.

So, the video that I tried to get of The Rooster wasn't all that well done. So, for today all I have is pictures. But as I uploading these picture of Rooster, I noticed that they don't have the same flavor as the other pictures have. Like there is something missing. When looking at the pictures I realized, how normal Rooster almost looks today. No, decorative cowboy hat or dog chewed slippers. He looks normal (besides a giant beard). He wearing tennis shoes, basketball jersey, baseball hat, and basketball shorts that are level at a normal length.
Why does he call himself The Rooster? Unlike the other characters on this site, it is not a name that I gave him. He gave it to himself. Play the video and you'll see.
I asked Rooster how far his shopping cart was from the store, or how far would he have to haul the next load of metal that he has. He replied, saying that his shopping cart was over on 24Th street. Well, our shop is on 12Th. Last I checked, that's 12 blocks and Rooster says that he is going to haul a shopping cart full of metal 12 blocks in about an hour.
Rooster got mad at me and asks me if I need him to write it down. No, Rooster. I'm good. But maybe you need a calculator next time.
