On a similar note, I VAGUELY recall Richard Simmons on some talk show saying he went behind the scenes somewhere to see how airline food was prepared and instead of actual hard-boiled eggs, they had disturbing fake eggs that were about a foot and a half long so all the slices on everyone’s salad would be exactly the same size, and they could feed the whole plane with one “egg”. Anyone know anything about this? Seems like if it was true it would be better known, seeing as how so many people must work in the airline food industry. (I don’t have a problem with it, seems sorta smart to me. Just curious is all.) * * * “I’m the luckiest man in the world, now that Lou Gehrig is dead.” Homer Simpson ---

Oh great. Now I’m hungry for KFC. Well thanks, guys! As if I hadn’t already been eating chicken all week, now I want more? I must be a mutant. * * * **-PIGEONMAN-** Returning Soon!

I agree. It is a good idea. The first thing I thought after reading that was "Come together in stopping it? What the hell is the point of that!? If it looks like chicken and tastes like chicken (very good chicken, IMHO), who cares? Why was this message started? The same reason 99% of chain letters start - to give insert company name a bad reputation. (I could name a lot of others like that one.) ---

A little off-topic, but… Whenever me and my husband see the new KFC commercials on tv with the cartoon Col. Sanders, we joke about how they turned their dead founder into their spokesman. “Hear that buzzing? Those are the flys that are swarming my bloated corpse!” “Colonel’s cool! Colonel’s cool! Colonel’s dead!” “Have you tried our new chicken? It’s dead, like me!” Oh yeah, laff riot at our house. * * * Dizzy _You people have been holding me back long enough! I’m going to clown college!_ ---

LOL Dizzy. That’s some funny stuff. Kinda reminds me of an SNL “commercial” with this chicken advertising…well, chicken. “Here’s where they cut off my head…woah!” * * * “War doesn’t determine who’s right.
