CHICKEN MADNESS!!!

Popeye's Chicken has been advertising an amazing deal: 8 pieces of chicken for $5. What happens in this economy when you offer a large amount of food for a small amount of money? Behold:



And when there IS chicken....



This is LOL material if I've ever seen it.

Benny Hill makes everything funnier...

Case in point: A Car Chase



Or in extreme situations, people blowing up in soccer games!

No officer, not a sip!

This Thursday through Saturday, Londoners will be able to drink without ever lifting a glass: The gin and tonics at "Alcoholic Architecture" are served as a fine mist in the air. About 40 minutes standing around is the equivalent of one "fairly strong drink," according to Wired UK. The project was created by Bompas and Parr, a jokey British design outfit that specializes in food.

Obviously, a gin-laden mist isn't exactly great for your clothes, so you don a plastic suit before paying £5 for an hour inside the bar. It's not well gin either: They're vaporizing nothing less than Hendricks. They opted for gin because of its (relatively) fresh, botanical smell. Sounds like fun. Here's to hoping that the fad comes stateside, for a longer run.

What I'm wondering is if you can get away with telling the cops that you haven't had any alcohol to DRINK? Or will this force society's finest to start asking "have you consumed any alcohol?". HA! The only other thing I'm wondering is if I can get this happening in my apartment with Vodka.

Texan Of The Week: Betty Brown

On Tuesday, State Rep. Betty Brown (R) caused a firestorm during House testimony on voter identification legislation when she said that Asian-Americans should change their names because they’re too hard to pronounce:

Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” Brown said.

Brown later told [Organization of Chinese Americans representative Ramey] Ko: “Can’t you see that this is something that would make it a lot easier for you and the people who are poll workers if you could adopt a name just for identification purposes that’s easier for Americans to deal with?”

Yesterday, Brown continued to resist calls to apologize. Her spokesman said that Democrats “want this to just be about race.”
