popeye scares me

Posted on by


It’s been one of those days. You know the ones. A few hours longer than you expected, a co-worker shows up with homemade iced coffees that have enough cafeine in them to kill a moose (you have two), the chinese lunch repeats for maybe six hours worth of nasty garlic filled grease. Yeah, that’s the day. So what is the last thing you wish to do? Cook dinner, let alone eat dinner. But the kids are hungry and the wife is expecting something tasty. My solution? Fast food. What kind? Well, it’s hot, it’s july, the obvious choice is FRIED CHICKEN! In this part of the country, Popeye’s is really the only choice for edible fried chicken. So there it sits, in the oven keeping warm. Zachary is having a bite and I’m sure M will have a piece. But it scares me. See? Isn’t it scary?

  1. I like Popeyes. They just opened one down in Berkeley too.
    They used to have a kickass sausage Jambalaya, but it is gone now.
    At least it tastes like chicken.

  2. I had a breast portion and some red beans N rice. My tummy did okay and just fine. I suppose.
    Hey, have you been to Blackie’s Maryland Fried Chicken in Pinole? Eh?

  4. You Sir are a FREAK then. Cause I still haven’t slept and it’s 7:41 the next morning. My body is wracked, nerves are gone. Tweakin Zombie is what it comes down to. Maybe you have 4 kidneys?

  5. Up here in the boonies, Popeye’s doesn’t come with spinach. Maybe that’s the scary part!

  6. We don’t have spinach at our Popeye’s, either. …and I think that’s a good thing, because I just can’t imagine anyone wanting to eat spinach when there is a box full of crispity, salt-dillicious, fried-chicken on the table.
    I’ll tell you what, fried chicken sho’ tastes good when you’ve been hankerin’ for it. Ah… After last night’s fried food fest, I’m good for another six months.

  7. Blackie’s is great whilst I am munching it, but it gives me explosive ‘reah about an hour after.
