strat - there is a Taco Bell on the same fast food outlet strip as the KFC
The last time I stopped in there, I remember thinking much the same thing about Linda Blair and the look, color and texture of Taco Bell guacamole.

Sunnybeach7 - 18 months is about how long it takes to forget what this
greasy stuff does to one's system.
I have learned however to never say never about eating this stuff again. I will eventually, of that I am certain.

I am often possessed by the Demon Chihuahua of Taco Bell.
And if you watch the movie, "The Excorcist," you might notice that Linda Blair was probably possessed by him, too...

Oh, I know that sickness.
At least you somehow managed to make it 18 months without total possesion. Congrats on that!

Bhaskar.ing - thanx for stopping by
I think once an individual reaches a certain age they eventually recognize the absurdity of the fast food outlet strip(s) that are located on the outskirts of just about every city in North America. We decry our national obesity, yet religiously support one of the major contributing factors in fast food outlets.

Blanche.- do you know what I was just thinking?
I was wondering how someone could call the area that I live in the "bible belt" when it is a term that is normally used to describe the southern and midwestern portions of the USA. I was also wondering what compells someone to tell another blogger that they should move because they must be bored? I caught your drift in your initial comments, without saying as much; you feel that you write and post your blogs for the right reasons, while I do the same for the wrong reasons. Or is that not what you were saying? . . . well actually it is . . . or are you planning to move?

An excellent aromatic piece of writing. Think I too will prefer Satanish to Homer Simpsonish mantra, when faced with
sweet-wafting temptations.

I stay away from KFC and their undercooked chicken, gomedome. I'm
more of a Popeye's guy. But I understand the need for chicken -- I eat it every other day if not every day... But it isn't the devil, it's the wandering ghost of a Baptist preacher, my friend. Bet on it...

I was just thinking that, food poisoning aside, Gomedome, for someone who
has such animosity towards the Bible Belt, you might actually be better served to move someplace where you have less fodder for your blogs. You must be bored of it by now.

Blanche.- I was speaking about the subject of this post
The fundies either bore me or entertain me but seldom do they solicit any other reaction.

Literally, Gomedome, or are you making a joke? As in, the fundamentalists
are giving you gas?

SuccessWarrior - my bouts with KFC chicken have given me insight as to
what an alcoholic attempting to dry out goes through.
There is a very deep rooted appeal made to an individual's endorphins with KFC cooking aromas. The attraction to it is almost chemical as the mind's pleasure centers are stimulated. Resistence becomes futile until you can remind yourself that you burped up little bits of plasticized clone lettuce just before bed the last time you ate this crap. This reminder holds you back until the memory fades. I know that I will eat KFC again, . . . I admit it freely.

Schatz - I sometimes look at our societies customs and think along the same
lines as you describe.
We are an obese society and it is little wonder why. We eat what we do because we can. I saw a turkey eating contest on TV this weekend. I am still flabbergasted at such a spectacle. It has more things wrong with it than I can count yet the words to describe those transgressions escape me. It just ain't right.....is all that comes to mind.

My wife and I were possessed by the clown a couple months ago
We were both so sick that two years may be too soon before I return to a McDonald's.

Oh, gome, I know your pain. My husband and I both swore off it at the same
time. We both got sick on it, on separate occasions about a week apart. I hate that stuff. I just told a friend the other day that I believe the aliens built the pyramids, and brought us fast food places. The reason? They're gutloading us, like we do with crickets so that they have more nutritional value to the lizard that eats them. Maybe aliens eat chemicals and cardboard.
Good one.
