The Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich Debacle

So Dan tried to get the Popeyes sandwiches but instead got yelled at, so he yelled back. No sandwiches for us. Giving up, it just ain’t worth it!

Employee was not responding to the microphone so he pulled up and she told him she's the only one working. He said but you could let your customers know that so they don't just sit there. Manager came screaming he has no right to disrespect her employees blah blah. He called her some choice words and left.

[in the meantime I left and got sandwiches from Hothead Chicken]

Best chicken sandwich ever. First time for the sandwiches. “Nashville” level spice. Omg so good! Why we were even trying for Popeyes with hot head around the corner?!

OMG. Seriously. So good!

Some people man

This idiot (who just watched a '50's film about heroin) wins the Boomer award for the day.

Not Gonna Happen

According to someone who claims to be on a Spanish-language news group,  "Mexico" is worried the brutal murder of the American women and children will lead to a US invasion and occupation of northern Mexico. I put the country in quotes bc it's probably a dozen paranoids, and certainly not the whole nation.

Young Love

Well Dan was right about  Smiley nd his new “friend” [CeeCee]. He said a few days ago “they’re gonna be more then friends “. I said “nah, strictly friend zoned”. The relationship has been confirmed ❤️❤️. - Lisa

Snow. On Halloween

A - it's Halloween. B - its snowing. Those two items don't usually go together, and in anticipation of the event local meteorologists have been obnoxiously giddy - which explains why meteorologists are rarely invited to parties

Anniversary Date

Dan is taking me to the circus for our anniversary date! Excited!! - Lisa

Happy 23rd wedding anniversary

Happy 23rd wedding anniversary Dan. I love you!  - Lisa

YaYa's 18th Birthday Cake!

Happy 18th!

This little bald wonder of mine turns *18* today, and cliche or not it seems like only yesterday that I first laid eyes on her. If I had to do it all over again, the good and the bad, I'd turn to God and thank him for letting me experience it all again. We love you more than lips can tell YaYa/Grace/Gracie/Caillou Andromeda. Sto lot, and 143 forever.

This Netflix movie was lame, dull, unimaginative, and about as scary as a kitten calendar.  If you havent seen it - dont.

It Does

What can I say? #SexSells

Proof. But not of what they think.

People always hold discoveries like this up to be sad "proof" of global warming. In fact, they are proof humans once freely lived in lands that, in modern centuries, have been snow and ice covered - and only now are those lands returning to that "norm." Thus proving the Earth's climate ebbs and flows and doesn't give one tinker's dam about Al Gore and dear young Greta.

Homemade Rubber Stamps

Smiley's new past time is creating his own stamps. I played with some tonight. In the collection so far is two types of fish, a heart, broken heart, and his monogram.

Yup

Sorry whiners. The ref got it right

Joker

I finally saw Joker. It's grim and hopeless and full of emotional pain and my word it was good. Joaquin Phoenix is a spectacular Joker. If you want me to rank them, I still prefer Heath, but it's no landslide victory.  

I'm no conspiracy nut but I felt a lot of the dire warnings that preceded Joker's release stemmed from Marvel/Disney using its media clout to try and bury a DC masterpiece. 

I saw nothing in the film that encouraged or condoned violence. Arthur was a damaged man, mentally and physically, and an unreliable narrator. His actions are fruit of that poisoned tree, and SPOILER the mob he inspires uses his image as an excuse for mayhem, not inspiration. END SPOILER

I dont even buy the film as an example of class struggle. It wasn't rich vs poor. It was chaos vs order. The chaos of a pre-Guilanni Gotham/NYC where crime was accepted as the norm, where filth and grime were the decor of the day, where hope was absent. The Joker is that chaos; his future enemy, young Mr Wayne, is the balm of order and respect.

It's a great film, certainly better than anything the MCU has or will create. Go see it.

LOL. But This.

Goodbye Fritz's :sob:

Curse you Lisa, curse you for denying me Fritz's yesterday!

Welcome to the Midwest!

Huh. I guess climate change pushed Oklahoma into the Midwest.  #NewsToMe #TheMediaIsInfallible  #EitherLearnGeographyorGetAnEditorEitherOr

Ouch.

I can't say they're wrong.

Good on Ellen
