    OK, I saw this over at Democratic Underground while I was looking for links to articles about Comey getting fired and I just couldn't stop laughing. I am sure someone will mention the r word but damn if it wasn't funny.

    On a related note I had KFC for lunch and it was just as greasy and nasty as I remembered it to be.

    Man this brings back some memories of Korea. Yes, Korea! Let me preach on it:
    during my first tour (1992-1993) our supply sergeant was incredibly lazy and ignorant, even for a supply sergeant. She would have her KATUSA helpers (Korean soldiers) do all her work
    while she went to Popeye's for two hour lunches with her friends. Yada yada yada when she was leaving the unit realized that she had fucked up the inventory/record keeping and there was a 30,000 dollar discrepancy (did I do that?) yet that didn't stop her from getting promoted from E-6 to E-7. Go ARMY! :cool:

    Seriously though I fucking love fried chicken, I'd eat that shit every meal if it wasn't so bad for you.

    And whoever decided to add it to waffles and make it a breakfast item, my hat is off to you.

    "No chicken."

    "No chicken?! *shocked pause* "Or they just out of chicken?"

    Did that guy think "no chicken" meant that all the chicken was gone and that there would never be any more, ever?

    Also Popeye's is awesome.

    I'm surprised there's a Popeyes here in the Portland Metro Area. I might have to pop in next time I visit the 'rents.

    I find Popeye's to be OK but nothing special. Their spicy flavor does have more kick than KFC but that isn't saying much. Their "red beans and rice" seems to actually use pinto beans instead of red beans while the rice is instant rice that tastes like cardboard. Still, for fast-food it is OK. I do like their biscuits but it would be nice if they didn't have 200% of the FDA allowance for sodium in a single biscuit.

    This speaks well of the restauranteurs' ethics. The shortage could have been solved by sending the employees out into the streets with nets to gather and prepare fried pigeon. Popeye's should be lavished with praise for declining that solution.

    Yes! Sky vermin can be quite delectable if lovingly prepared by the skilled hands of a culinary master!

    Oh, I forgot. Popeye's has fried crawdad tails. Those things are great especially with their spicy dipping sauce.

    Have your taste buds experienced the transcendental bliss of Giant Golden Crown Flying Fox wings layered in a batter of Guinness stout, cilantro and just a hint of ghost pepper, then fried until golden brown? Or bathed your tongue in the savory enlightenment of Kitti's Hog-Nose bat legs roasted until tender, then served in a soul-warming stew? And for those who enjoy a fine paté, nothing can surpass the nearly orgasmic experience of a saucer heaped with hummingbird tongue!

    Yesterday was confusing for the boy. His Lord and master was in quite a pickle after firing comey and the boy might now be an official communist because of his love for the trump. He has a lot of things to sort through and like most teenagers he lashes out. Hopefully his parents will put him on time out and make him turn off the faux news and put on something with more intelligence like teen titans go.

    He's just a kid. :shrug:

    Ya know, maybe it's because I'm not American but I never got this "food racism" thing. I mean I guess it's a stereotype thing? But for me who cares if black people like fried chicken, I think that's awesome. Like Asians and their noodles, I love that shit too, kinda wish it was my thing. White people and mayo, I'll put that stuff on all my sandwiches and burgers and enjoy every minute of it and I encourage others to do the same. Mexicans and tacos, man I'd be proud if tacos were my thing. We should be proud of the stuff we eat, food is awesome. It's weird to me how this all got turned into something that can be insulting.

    Mayo.....:yuck:

    Can't stand the stuff, or at least the way it's made here. Every so often, I got some on a sandwich in Japan, but I didn't instantly recoil in horror in those instances.
