Kids played off his notorious temper often. My favorite was the day he told a student to "get the hell out of his classroom" for leaning her head against another student's shoulder and wouldn't resume lecture until she had left the room. Interestingly, this is the man in charge of our university's annual drag show. As a student of Dr. Priest (“OPP”), this was not out of character, though it was definitely staged.

Is there a clip where he comes back triumphantly displaying the "chicken"'s head? It was also very thoughtful of him to take off his wireless mic. I've lost count of how many packs I've had to fix due to presenter-chicken battles. I’m surprised Prof Priest waited as long as he did.

Sometimes it's pre-arranged, or -- if you know the professor's a good sport about such things -- you may be able to get away with a quiet "give me a minute, then chase me out" passed as the chicken walked past him. And, yeah, I'd at least give the professor a few feathers to clutch or wear as he returns to the class. He's been kind about letting you play; the least you can do is let him take some of the applause.

From what I know, the most information the professor was provided with was that a prank would possibly occur at some point in the future. The student did it to raise money for a Northwestern University charity event. This particular prank wasn’t scripted at all.

He chased the guy into a bathroom stall and scared the living crap out of him. His temper is legendary.
