Fuck you, Chik-Fil-A, and your overpriced shake

Not to hijack here, but I have a quick question… is there any sort of list out there where you can find what companies are Christian (uh, I’d want to know if they have related practices, like the ones mentioned here in this thread where they gave out CDs promoted by FotF), or would you have to search them out one by one for a breakdown? Thanks in advance if anyone does/can answer. If not, I suppose I’ll go try my hand at GQ.

Towards the OP, yeah, my ex loves Chik-Fil-A, but I always found them a bit overpriced for what you get, not to mention an almost minuscule menu. However, they’ve always been extremely clean and well run. I guess it depends on your trade-off level though. It’s not worth it for me only, simply to get some McNugget types.

Oh! Oh!

It is Brother Jed and the Jedheads? They used to come to my campus.

Good memories.

Hunger! Jesus takes baskets containing twelve packs of buns and twelve frozen chicken breasts, and miraculously he and his disciples start passing out Chik-Fil-A sandwiches to the joyous multitudes.

Cut to a scene of Golgotha: Three chickens are suffering on the cross. Cows are dressed like Roman soldiers, and a cartoon bubble appears next to the head of a centurian:

“Keep kroocifying chikin!”

$2.93? Pff… I frequently go to a place that offers $5 shakes (well, 4.50 or some such, but close enough to trigger a Pulp Fiction flashback)

Nah. I’m pretty sure the guy who preaches here is local because he’s here often enough to make me doubt that he travels much. I’ve noticed that he only spreads “God’s word” on days with good weather.

[John Travolta]That’s a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don’t know if it’s worth $2.93 but it’s pretty fucking good. [/JT]

Bastard! Beat me by 4 minutes. :wink:

Milkshake minus the ice cream??? WTF? Without ice cream it is not a milkshake.

A frappe is coffee and milk blended with ice (or shaken with ice in Greece), sometimes sugar and other flavors are added.

I am a fast food junkie. When I was in Orlando, I went to a Chick-Fil-A to check it out. I mean, it must be pretty good, it has a damn bowl game named after it, right? For those of you who have never been there, it is an abortion of a sandwich, a dried out piece of fried chicken breast on a hamburger bun. Anybody’s mom, including mine (well she’s not alive anymore, but I still think she could do it), can make a superior chicken sandwich by putting some cooked chicken on some whole grain bread (or Wonder bread for that matter), a bit of salt and pepper and mayonaise plus some iceberg lettuce if you like. And I didn’t even realize it was run by a bunch of fundies.

Chick-Fil-A will never make it out to the west coast, because it sucks. Yeah, I know, I just checked and they are actually in California. The horror, the horror. They will crash and burn like Boston Market (who’s food I actually quite liked).

Heh, interestingly I actually got to know Brother Jed a little. I used to participate in his message board, trying to discuss religion from my (non-Christian) perspective. While Brother Jed is very “in-your-face” for preaching, he is personally reserved otherwise; I got the feeling that he really had to force it to keep the attention of the passersby.

He was always very kind and civil, even though he knew exactly about my personal convictions, and even signed a couple of his books for me (and the books were free to begin with).

A curious man.

Yeah, epsecially now that we know that $5 shakes contain no bourbon. :frowning:

I refer to him (and the others) as “screaming Jesuses.” Or sometimes “screaming Jesii,” if I’m not surrounded by people who will bitch about the incorrect pluralization.

Rumor has it the SC food court is getting a new Asian place to replace the one they closed. And they put a deli in downstairs where the MLK Cultural Center used to be.

FUCK YOU, SteakNShake! Fuck you and the no-locations-in-Colorado horse you couldn’t be bothered to ride in on! :mad:

Decatur Illinois has TWO - population is like 80,000. We have 2.8 million around here, I’m sure we could support a damn Steak ‘n’ Shake or two.

Fuckers.

What - four Starbucks aren’t good enough for you?

Eh. If you have that much time, save yourself a few minutes and go to Kashmir.

(Sorry. Just seeing how many UK students we can get in here. Move along.)

Not if you go to a Boston-area place. Here, what everyone else calls a milkshake, we call a frappe. And there’s something else called a milkshake but it doesn’t have any ice cream in it, and nobody ever orders one.

And I’ve heard that in Rhode Island they call the thing a cabinet, which makes no sense.

In my experience, SteakNShake’s shakes shuck. I mean suck.

They have ice chips in them, they ain’t creamy, and just in general ain’t good.

And the two times I’ve tried them they tasted like someone had melted a candle into them. Blech.

I briefly met Brother Jed when I went to ISU in Terre Haute- & your impression is the same as mine. Heck, I even lent him my Bible for a few minutes when he needed to check something & didn’t have his handy.

The late Brother Max however always seemed to be an a*hole. But that’s another story.

Chik-Fil-A has been around for at least 30 years. I don’t think the air disaster you predict is coming any time soon.

Boston Market is still around. It might not have gone well for the investors but I still get a turkey dinner there every once and a while.
