There’s a Chicken Unlimited in Paterson, NJ that I’ve eaten at years ago, but I’m not sure if it’s part of the Chicago chain you’re taking about.

I cannot believe you would suggest such a thing, when you know that there are Banana Slug Dopers.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes…

shit, my tastes are so pedestrian. I can’t think of anything that unique. Maybe I’m the only person on the Dope who likes Balkan turbopop?

Oh, not at all–one of my favorite songs! I have it on karaoke CD and my daughter and I did it as a duet for a mini talent show in her middle school choir class. (The kids just LOVED it, and I was proud to be the one to introduce a classic to them!)

I bet I’m the only one here who still occasionally plays the old ZX Spectrum game [Lords of Midnight](http://server2.uploadit.org/files/chimpy222-LordsOfMidnightThe.JPG). It’s not a war game, or an adventure game, it’s an epic game. So There.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes the smell of a dead chicken while you are gutting/preparing it.

In a thread awhile back is was almost universally voted as the worst pop song ever recorded. Dopers don’t ever agree on much, the only other consensus I can remember is that Bugs Bunny is indeed funnier than Mickey Mouse.

So they hate that song, but love the collected works of Joss Whedon?

I guess there really is no accounting for taste.

Not even close. Because even _I_ know that roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women. (Yeah!)

It depends what you consider to be ‘high’. I’d be more inclined to call it a mild buzz. Why?
