Well, from my extensive research (watching [Swooner Crooner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swooner_Crooner)) chickens need a rooster that sings like Bing or Frankie before they can lay eggs. And when has Looney Toons ever steered me wrong on such matters? ---

How do I know it’s Black History Month? Simple, friends; simple. [The food vendor for Nyack Middle School in New York served their own version](https://people.com/food/school-apologizes-serving-chicken-waffles-watermelon-black-history-month/) of Fluffy’s [gift basket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah0gW25F_PY). From the first link, here are two intersting tidbits: > “This was a mistake and does not represent the values of our company, and we are committed to doing better in the future.” & > This is not the first time that Aramark has found itself in hot water for racially stereotyped menus. In 2018, the food vendor served NYU students a “Black History Month Menu” with ribs, collard greens, cornbread, smashed yams, mac and cheese, red Kool-Aid and watermelon-flavored water. The incident angered students, [according to CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/us/nyu-kool-aid-watermelon-menu-black-history-month-trnd/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/us/nyu-kool-aid-watermelon-menu-black-history-month-trnd/index.html), and eventually prompting the university to stop using Aramark as their food provider in 2019. > > Similarly, back in 2011, the food-service company offered students at the University of California Irvine “MLK Holiday Special: Chicken and Waffles,” according to a [_Los_ _Angeles_ _Times_ article](https://www.latimes.com/local/la-xpm-2011-jan-27-la-me-0127-uci-mlk-20110127-story.html). Looks to me like that is very much your corporate culture, folks. You people need to get into another line of business. Or out of business altoghether. Color me unsurprised that racists are not the sharpest tools in the shed. ---

On the one hand that sounds delicious. But on the other hand, yeah that’s racist. Plus, white folks love that shit too dammit. Chicken and waffles and watermelon are universal! It just reminds me of this old bit from Dave Chappelle: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wJ4B7G8Rw3Q/hqdefault.jpg "Dave Chappelle Chicken") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ4B7G8Rw3Q) He’s right, chicken is just delicious. Why do we need to put racist baggage on this stuff? Just enjoy food you like, let others enjoy food they like, and don’t act like there is something genetic involved. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > (I’ve had chicken, and I’ve had waffles, but I’ve never had chicken ‘n’ waffles.) When done well it’s a wonderful blend of savory, salty, and sweet. You also have the textural difference between the crunchy breading on the fried chicken, the spongy/crispy waffle, and the meat of the chicken. ---

🤷‍♂️ We all have our tastes, and we all draw the line somewhere. I like peperoni, jalapeno and pineapple pizza for instance. That’s a Rubicon too far for my wife, so I rarely get it. I also like homemade pasta. I make the real stuff that starts with flour and eggs. My wife prefers the boxed stuff. Or can’t tell the difference. ---

Stupid MF’er antivaxer dies. But wait - it’s not what you might think. He did not die of Covid. He died of a fentanyl overdose. While I don’t think that everyone who dies of a fentanyl overdose is a stupid MF’er, this guy qualifies I think. He thought Covid was a hoax, and probably thought that the poisonous drug supply was a hoax too. Oh, and he was also apparently a flat-earther. > **[Prominent B.C. anti-vaxxer died of fentanyl overdose, coroner rules](https://nationalpost.com/news/local-news/prominent-b-c-anti-vaxxer-died-of-fentanyl-overdose-coroner-rules/wcm/e115e26a-9547-433c-a8e5-dc4c6c913773)** > > Coroner's report dispels myth that Makhan Singh Parhar died from COVID-19 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-stupid-mfers-in-the-news-thread-part-1/931945.md?page=314) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-stupid-mfers-in-the-news-thread-part-1/931945.md?page=316)
