About

Chicken Thang's Fun House is a project founded by Chicken Thang. Chicken Thang is a Black Belt Kung Fu Wushu Master. Kung Fu and Wushu are popular terms that have become synonymous with Chinese Martial Arts. However the Chinese terms Kung Fu and Wushu have very different meanings. Wushu can describe greatly varying martial arts traditions. Kung Fu can be used in a context without any martial arts whatsoever. Colloquially, Kung Fu (or Gung Fu) alludes to any individual accomplishment or cultivated skill obtained by long and hard work. In contrast, Wushu is a more precise term that refers to general martial activities. The term Wushu has also become the name for a modern sport similar to gymnastics involving the performance of adapted Chinese bare-handed and weapons forms judged to a set of contemporary aesthetic criteria for points. Kung Fu and Wushu performed to music are the primary focus of the Fun House. The stage is set in exotic lighting as the contenders are dressed in rare and titillating costume. The back drop an artistic rendition of the never ordinary stage setting hand crafted by FoOFy FaRm coOp artists presently classified under the member's act of 2008 by "da Critter's Art Collective". Critters residing at the FoOFy FaRm CoOp are modernly known as FoOFuRz. FoOFuRz follow a healthy regime of Raw Vegan foods (minus the exception of cheese, milk and eggs) with regular Fasting and Prayer. All foods are grown organically on the FoOFy FaRm. Fun House members are provided room and board at the FoOFy FaRm in exchange for tending the garden and attending Chicken Thang's Kung Fu Wushu classes once daily M-F. The FoOFy FaRm and Fun House are both heavily funded by Chicken Thang's step brother Pee Wee Herman via their deceased uncle's trust fund which was willed in half to Pee Wee and half to Chicken Thang sometime post WWll. Pee Wee annually donates a portion of his share of the fund to Chicken Thang's Fun House whilst vicariously living out his dream of an eclectic Raw Vegan Kung Fu Wushu musically based organically farm operated and run brotherhood of critter comrades.
