Man, I told myself that I'd post something tonight, I don't care what. And I'm not gonna proofread it.
The 3-piece chicken strip meal at Popeye's sells for $5.59. The 5-piece chicken strip meal sells for $5.99. I found this to be somewhat disconcerting as I prepared to order lunch today. Almost twice as much chicken, for only 5% more?
What does that say about the chicken?
Note to Popeye's corporate: Even if you can do it. Don't do it.
I ended up going with the 3-piece meal.
(Note to readers: I don't treat myself to Popeye's very often, I'm in a regular rotation of Jimmy John's, Chipotle, Corner Bakery and Potbelly) (Although, I HATE Jimmy John's hot peppers. I HATE them. Surprisingly, a couple of cashiers informed me that compliments on their hot peppers outnumber the complaints. But I think that's because people don't have the stones to complain.)
Is anyone reading this addicted to coffee?
Is anyone reading this?
Co-workers look at me with wonder when they realize that I don't drink coffee. Out of eight people, I am the only one who doesn't drink multiple cups per day.
What is necessary to qualify something as "addictive"? People freely admit that coffee is addictive. Cigarettes are addictive. Gambling? Sex? What about money?
Merriam Webster defines "addict" as "to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively"
Man, is this the bullshit that comes out of me at midnight on a Monday? I need to figure out a way to write stuff at work.
In re; my hair. It's good. I'll look for a picture, but a picture may not do it justice.

You could write an interesting post on fast food pricing. I've never noticed the Popeyes price you mentioned, but I'm sure it's the same at KFC and Church's. Once you get that chicken killed, skinned, decapitated, shipped, and fried, you might as well charge a flat fee for as much as someone can eat. I bet they make more money. $10.00 all you can eat chicken, no carryouts. And on the drive-thru, $10.00 for all we can fit in a bucket. That might get poeple inside where they are more likely to rebuy.
Also, if you ever go to Paradise Bakery, don't bother buying one cookie. I attempted to add a cookie to my meal a few weeks ago. The woman told me I was going to want to add two cookies because I could get two for a dollar. I thought, "I see what she means. I'm sure one cookie is 70 cents and two is a dollar, so I save 40 cents by buying them together." But I only wanted one cookie. She gave me a crazy look, handed me one cookie, and rang it up. The price of one cookie? $1.20. .20 more than the price of two cookies.
Explain that one. (It has happened more than once.)

His wife knows, man. His wife knows.
Tell Parkis to snap a photo tomorrow and post the somofabitch.
And sack up and commit to flaming shots, you slack-jawed pansy.
