The difficulty of my ongoing Chick fil a boycott just dropped to zero.

Popeye's chicken sandwich is amazing.

I think of it as 'what KFC would taste like if KFC didn't make me hate myself' but yes it's better than Chik-Fil-A, too. Could eat their biscuits for days and days.

It's pretty easy when the only time your kids want it is on Sundays.

@Ganymede
What about when you want a chicken sandwich?!

Auspice

I always want a chicken sandwich.
Not always specifically CFA.
But just in general.

Why go out and buy when you can dine at home?

(Yes, this is a joke about oral sex on a woman.)

I'm partial to Wendy's.

(Yes, there may be a double-meaning in that.)

FanExpo is so much fun! I've been here for a few hours already and I don't want to go yet (but I'm getting hungry).

Anyone else here today? Message me.

Sunny days and hammocks. Just perfect.

Is it chicken? Or perro de barrio?
I always found Popeye's breading to meat ratio problematic.

It just sank in that I get Labor Day off.....and it's a paid holiday.

I haven't had that in a decade. Three day weekend! And no loss in pay!

I'm gonna sleep so much.

@Auspice Not trying to burst your happy bubble, but I would double check that you get paid. When I was a contractor I didn't get paid for holidays off like that even if the office was closed.

Not saying you won't, in fact I hope you do, I just want you to make sure you know positively and can plan accordingly.

We have a meeting scheduled that day (tho I think it was just the algorithm keeping the daily meeting in place) so I had a 'wait does Labor Day not count as a...' and double-checked my offer letter.

Labor Day is one of the 6 paid holidays I get.

ETA: my last long-term job WAS one where I was technically a 'contractor who doesn't get paid holidays,' so I absolutely checked. XD

@Auspice thumbs up

Irony.

Having to work on a holiday dedicated to recognizing the hard labor people do by giving them a day off of work.

Service industry gives no fucks.

@Auspice Yanno what holiday I like? Boxing Day.

The holiday where everyone who fucking worked on Christmas gets a day because we needed them on Xmas.

America should have a "Labor Day Two" for those people.

They'd just turn it into another sale day and make people work anyway.

New funny: People who write real estate descriptions are the same breed of people who write band descriptions or movie descriptions on the back of the DVD/VHS case.

A long while ago I did some writing/editing for DVD case backsides and/or slicker sheets for B-movie "boobs and blood" horror titles. It all started one day with the film producer coming to me and saying: "* We need help, we have used HOT in the last 6 or 7 descriptions and need to come up with new stuff...*"

"Jenny is a HOT college senior on a road trip..."
"Four HOT coeds lost in the woods..."
"...they summoned a HOT, deadly demon from the depths of Hell..."

And then you have when bands write their own descriptions. It's always the same shit for metal/punk bands:

"Led by the AIR RAID vocals of Jimmy Spank, the THUNDERING drum lines of Chaz McChaz, the SYMPHONIC guitar solos of brand new guitars Squeegy Jackson..."

So I'm reading these descriptions of houses on the MLS sheets my realtor is showing me and I just crack the fuck up:

"Boasts a QUAINT backyard with lots of potential..."

"Wake up in the morning directly to FRENCH DOORS and MAJESTIC VIEWS..."

So then I think, what if you put them all together?

"CERBERUS LANE is a movie about a haunted house with a bar-top kitchen and GREAT POTENTIAL FOR GUESTS. Guests such as the HEART POUNDING bass-lines by Kevin McDarkness and the SHRIEKING EAR BLEEDING VENOM of HOT vocalist Brittany Roxx. Schedule your tour today! This movie is HOT."

There's a guy sitting across from me on the bus who looks like a total dude bro and is probably 18-20.

He is utterly absorbed in the copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince he is reading and it warms my cold heart.

I collect knives, recently got a custom made piece to add on to the collection. Am very, very, VERY happy about it!
