Not to get too political, but I have yet to find any place north or west of the Mason/Dixon line that can compare to fried chicken at it's nurturing place...the south. Louisianans like it spicy. Texansl like it well seasoned. Alabamans like to shake, shake, shake. And Georgian, well they're somewhere in between. We all like it jucy and just salty enogh to be perfect. I make mine at home, with a marinaid, a spice rub for the flour (50/50 cornstarch/ all pourpose) and vegetavle oil to cook in. I serve it with chicken giblett gravy, and baked potatoe wedges, (also spiced) and steamed veggies, so it seems like i'm doing something good to counteract the salty, arert hardeneing goodness I am about to partake of. Forget fingers, I'll lick the plate!

By the way, although we do have Popeye's in Texas in abundance (and quite thankfully) I have to say my favourite chicen place is actually based a little further south of the borer. Say, Columbia.
POLLO CAMPERO! So good you could eat the bones!

I noticed something at the grocery store today.
Everyone puts their toilet paper as the last item on the conveyor belt at the checkout.
Why is this so?

Probably so it isn't crushed out of shape by other items as they go back in the cart. My mom is like that with her bread that she buys in store....don't mess with it or else......thankfully I've never crossed that line.....I think there is blood, death, and jail time involved. |

Oh jeez - and with my mom it just used to be a trip back down the aisle to get new ones while she waited. I guess not growing up in a gulag-like environment was good for me! |

I don't know if it's the extreme liberalism or the climate or both, but the California transplants I deal with almost daily usually fall into two camps. They're either really weird or really pushy (sometimes they're both). Most of them (the one's I deal with) seem to have an extreme sense of entitlement. The concept of patience is completely foreign to them. My father lives out there now (he's in higher education), and he tells me they're some of the strangest and most bizarre people in the country. He also tells me that it's a very litigious environment where it seems even the pets have their own attorneys. |

Nothing beats KFC! Nothing......you can't even begion to consider KFC in the States in any way representative of fried chicken. Only the Americans would serve mashed potatoes in a fast food restuarant.....da Maple Leaf foreva people!
Having eaten KFC in the fair land of Upnorth, I must say...Popeye's is still better. Who cares if they have twice as many health code violations? |

To get the ladies. I've never gotten more compliments. I usually never hear anything when I just wear cologne. But If I wear the Old Spice I always get a comment. By always I mean 99% of the time. |

I think that the above statement about smelling yourself all day would happen if guys did not have jobs.
I prefer British Sterling, Joop, or Old Spice. Though sometimes I use BOD, though it's not because I believe the commercials. I just like the scent.
