Sorry to take such a long break from the blog.  As you all know I went back to office life and I had to adjust.  In addition, I had a bunch of gigs where I had to break down my equipment and I was too lazy to set it back up.  I hope I can make it up to you by sending you into the weekend with my return.

So a topic that has been getting a lot of attention lately is fast food fried chicken.  My beloved Chic-Fil-A managed to stay out of the news, but KFC and Popeyes had people wildin' out of late.  It's amazing what a little advertising can do.  BUT WHO WINS THE BATTLE BETWEEN KFC AND POPEYES?? Let's use the following stories to determine the most sought after fast food chicken.

In Minnesota, there was outrage and law enforcement had to be called in when the only Popeye's in Minnesota would not fulfill the nationally advertised $4.99 bucket of chicken special.  See story below:

"That's alright, though... We'll go to KFC!"  Wait a minute.  If you haven't heard KFC ran a special on its new grilled chicken.  So special that Oprah told all of her viewers to download a coupon for a free... YES FREE, Two-piece with two sides and a biscuit.  Oprah shut down KFC as people ran in droves to the chain, milking its chicken supply nationwide.  See story below:

So which fried chicken has the most crazed fans?

Wait for it....

Wait for it......

I have to give it to Popeye's!!  I mean... Oprah could have people lined up ouside of my door waiting for some chicken if she chose to broadcast it.  I think we all knew this anyway because nobody has ever been robbed for the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices.  OH YOU HAVEN'T HEARD???!!??

Well let me point you to Jacksonville, Florida where someone was jacked for some of that good ole' Popeye's.  Story below:

"YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS???!!!??"  How about..."come up offa that two-piece." Or better yet, "I want your wings, breast, thighs, and drumsticks in the bag or I'll shoot!" Or maybe even, "This is a Two-Eleven on your $4.99, fool!"  I know this isn't supposed to be funny, but someone took Biggie a bit too seriously when he rhymed "when it's time to eat a meal, I rob and steal."  Thieves need to have a code of ethics like Omar from The Wire. You don't rob people for their chicken.  That's just plain silly....But then again, it is Popeye's.  I mean... I've intentionally taken American Airlines through DTW instead of ORD (on trips from the West to the East Coast) because there is a Popeye's in the American terminal at DTW.

So to get inside the mind of someone who plots to rob and steal, I came up with the robbery soundtrack comprised of some of my favorite songs about taking other people's stuff.  If I were gonna rob someone, this is the music I'd play in the car before doing it.  ;-)

Of course this one has explicit lyrics.  Otherwise, it would be ASKING them for their stuff.
