Well, it's only proper. Even that Bon Chon stuff you like would have been preferable.

Just use a lot of Febreze. That's what....a friend of mine....does.

Oi, better than an acquaintance of mine (way) back in college.

This guy would take a shower once a week. Whether he needed it or not. ;P
The REST of the week he would sponge bathe in BRUTE cologne. Possibly one of the nastiest scents ever devised. :P

Funny thing is, that judging from various comments and estimates here and there, KFC quality in Europe is higher, possibly much higher, than in USA. I'd call it reasonably decent food. Nothing super-shiny and breathtaking, mind you, but good in what it is supposed to be: a fast food to be eaten while on the town.

Back in the day, one of my more hippie-like fraternity brothers didn't believe in deodorant. Thankfully, I did not have to room with him in the house.

I see letters. They appear to form words. The words, however, make no sense.

Ever since their $5 overhaul I haven't had a problem with them.

My cat died. Her nickname was Samurai. And the last name of our ME Andromeda character is Ryder. So it is a tribute to my kitty.

Last time I ate at KFC I got miniature dry chicken served with a sawdust biscuit, instant potatoes, and some nasty salty sludge they called gravy. I haven't been back since.

And by "haven't had a problem" you mean "I haven't visited them"? :D

I get a good amount of food and a drink for cheap, and it doesn't make me sick afterwards.

This is a good example of why I keep you on the List of People to Eat Last During the Zombiepocalypse. Eventually I may have to think about upgrading you to the "Never Eat" list.

Ah, <understanding dawns slowly>

I'm Sorry to hear that.
Yes, a fitting tribute indeed. Carry on! :)


I like Popeyes Chicken (Although living behind the drive through of one for 2 years while going to college put me off chicken for a bit) ;P

I also like KFC. I grew up with that.

Both are way better than the stuff I get from the grocery store deli market.
(Which my kids love for some inexplicable reason) O-O

But both are also on my doctor's list of 'things I shouldn't be eating anyway', so it's not like I get to enjoy either very often. ;P

This is one of the reasons you are on my "Never Eat" list.

You have my sympathies. If I were to go to a doctor sometime in the near future, he'd probably tell me the same thing.

HAPPY N7 DAY EVERYBODY!

Here's to getting some much-needed R&R, and spending time with our favorite (fictional) people.

I like Popeyes.

It is distinct from Bonchon, you can't compare the two, they are too different.


Popeyes is only good if you get a fresh batch, not good if you get the stuff they leave sitting under the heat lamp.

Sound logic that can be applied universally.

Having never had Bonchon, I'll have to take your word for it. If you've never had Popeye's after its been refrigerated, try it. I imagine it's similar to what lover's of cold pizza experience.

Silver Crusade

If I usually don't like cold pizza or cold chicken, should I just stick with eating my Popeye's hot? Or just stuffing my face with a tower of those amazing biscuits?

I mean Santa and Halloween get so much coverage and Gut Fawkes has but one? Highly unfair.*

*Admittedly, it is a really great film.

It is an even greater comic album. If you haven't read it, do so.

I own and love the comic; it is definitely better.

Doesn't mean the film isn't great as well, just different.

That'd be my recommendation. Oddly enough, I cannot stand cold pizza. My Popeye's I can eat hot or cold though.

And, yeah, those biscuits are pretty damned awesome. My dad loved them. My kids love them. When I worked openings at my local Popeye's (lo these far too many years ago), we would take the raw biscuit, shape them like donuts, and throw them in the fryers.

Some day, you guys need to come out to my neighborhood. You know, to share the freezing cold gloom.

*Also Korean barbecue. Probably should have mentioned that first.


Heck, I don't know about the others, but you had ME at 'barbecue'! :)


~reads though what Patrick Curtain wrote and translates it into Sharoth speak~ "I am busy! Don't bother me! I want to get my 4+ hours sleep after the concert! Will talk later!"

~grins~ It would have been even more fun to have written it in Morse code, but I do not remember enough to do it on the fly.


I hope that you enjoy the concert!

The wife had a pretty good birthday today. Of course I stayed up all day with her, so I am tired. I will be staying busy to keep awake.

~CHEERS~ YES!!!

Note # 1 - I think Freehold DM might just be a little happy!

Note # 2 - Can someone please confirm this?

Note # 3 - Never mind! Here is the confirmation!

Note # 4 - Stop cheering so loud, Freehold DM! My ears are hurting!

But what about the reason they cancelled it? Which if you didn't know was that it had a primarily female audience. They wanted a show for young boys so they could sell lots of toys. Girls apparently both don't buy as many toys as boys do and often avoid toys made for young boys. So despite its popularity it got the axe. Girls loved it for its more evolved sense of character interaction and subplot. As did a more grown up audience. Which also wasn't going to buy toys made for young boys.

So is it really back? Or is this a dumbed down show remade to appeal to its target audience of young boys? Like what Teen Titans into Teen Titans Go was remade into for a good example.

~shrugs~ I don't know. AFAIK, we are at the wait and see while they write up the storyline and get the artist and actors together. I hope that it is not dumbed down. I will be very upset if it is dumbed down.


I will say that if they plan on dumbing it down, then I would just prefer that season three of Young Justice never got made. But if they plan on keep the depth and complexity, then I am all in.

I remember back when I still lived in Savannah there was a restaurant called the Sushi Grill. Never went there, but that's the kind of thing that I always pictured could be found inside.


~thinks~ Maybe it isn't such a good idea to be between two Fallen Empires in my current game of Stellaris.

I did most heartily. Some highlights:

An utterly kick-ass cover of War Pigs
