A Crowd Shows Up to The Chicken Man’s 40-Day Rotisserie Romp PHILLY’S PECK-ULIAR CELEBRATION
The City of Brotherly Love never ceases to amaze us. In 2022, Alexander Tominsky perhaps didn’t expect just how much his city would support him, but Philadelphia did not disappoint. Tominsky, aka The Chicken Man, posted a flyer stating, “COME WATCH ME EAT AN ENTIRE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN,” along with a modest photo collage of him eating the bird. The “official” event description was equally straightforward:
Despite people being unsure whether the said rotisserie chicken event was, in fact, real, Philadelphia showed up.
And they enthusiastically cheered Tominsky on as he consumed his 40th rotisserie chicken. The uproar only intensified when he triumphantly finished the chicken, standing up and putting his fist in the air (reminiscent of the film hero Rocky Balboa). To make the scene even more iconic, Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Philadelphia” played in the background amid the poultry pandemonium. The lesson here? We’re not entirely sure — American gluttony? Fifteen minutes of fame? — but it does prove the power of community, especially in Philadelphia. Many in the crowd weren’t sure that said chicken consumption would occur or perhaps questioned why an abandoned pier was the locale of choice. At the end of his binge-eating extravaganza, Tominsky expressed his gratitude for the people who showed up, saying, “Thanks for watching me consume.”
“November 6th will be the 40th consecutive day that I have eaten an entire rotisserie chicken 12 o’clock noon The chicken will be consumed on that abandoned pier near Walmart This is not a party.” A bit odd for sure, but everyone has the right to eat 40 rotisserie chickens and celebrate said poultry at an abandoned pier. Little did The Chicken Man know that this flyer would become a viral sensation, and a crowd would show up to the abandoned pier on Nov. 6 to cheer him on.
Be sure to keep an eye out for The Chicken Man because you never know when he’ll make a rotisserie return.
Move Better, Live Better POWER YOUR BODY WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY
A SAFER PATH TO PAIN-FREE LIVING More than 170 million people in the U.S. live with some form of physical discomfort, leading to an overburdened health care system and an increased likelihood of painkiller addiction. Depending on a patient’s unique circumstances, physical therapy may provide an alternative to costly and potentially habit- forming medications. For example, a study published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found a notable decrease in opioid prescriptions for patients who underwent physical therapy to treat lower back pain. Additionally, licensed physical therapists can help alleviate arthritis symptoms by vastly improving their patients’ mobility and joint strength.
potential to reduce the effects of Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions. It also helps patients living with paralysis improve their coordination by strengthening other parts of their body, such as making the right arm stronger to compensate for a loss of movement in the left one. Unsurprisingly, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has cited physical therapy as a critical means of improving balance, respiratory function, and aerobic capabilities.
