It’s nearly 9:30 PM on a Friday night, and that’s a perfect time for ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Kentucky Fried Chicken – ‘We Do Chicken Right !’
And tonight’s edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ is actually about KFC !
It’s one of the most criticized and ridiculed fast food restaurants of them all. We all do it, but put several buckets of original fried chicken on a table with potato wedges, mashed potatoes and gravy, cole slaw, and biscuits – and watch the crowds of people flock to that table like flies on … (you know what I mean).
We had a farewell luncheon for a well-liked coworker today, and it was kept nice and simple. You should have seen all of us gobble up all of that chicken in record-breaking time. We are a bunch of fried chicken chompin’ maniacs. It was all lip-smackin’ delicious. I also can’t say enough about them tasty potato wedges. I think I ate about 25 of them in all. After the feast most of us came close to passing out on-site. We nearly had to call in the cardiologists. There may have even been a few silent heart attacks occurring. Where’s my Lipitor ?
Speaking of chicken I am reminded about the smartest cat that ever lived (with me) – Boots (1993-2007). That dude was the feline equivalent of me. I taught him everything that he knew. He clearly understood somewhere between 900 and 1,000 words of the English and Spanish languages. One of his all-time favourite words – ‘chicken‘. That cat would go nuts whenever he heard that word because he knew what it was, and he knew that it was the tastiest thing he’s ever eaten.
Back when I ate chicken on a fairly regular basis Boots also ate chicken with me. He was all over me when that chicken was on my dinner plate. He was meowing up a storm. He was pointing to the chicken with his paw. He was smelling the chicken as it went into my mouth, and YES – he also got tiny pieces of chicken to claim as his own. ‘Chicken‘ – just the mere utterance of that word grabbed his undivided attention. He would even wake up from a deep sleep when he heard that word !
And so there you go with my fried chicken themed ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Friday night. Be sure to catch the blog for more fun tomorrow (Saturday). Have a safe and peaceful night everyone, and until we hang out again remember this:
