Happy Chinese New Year!

It’s the Year of the Rooster!

Of course, if you’re into rampant Beavis-and-Buttheadism like me,

you’re going to be and keep referring to it as “Year of the Cock” or

better yet, by my own coinage: “Cocktoberfest”.

(I prefer my coinage: it’s poultry in motion!)

Kung hei fat choy, everybody.

At least, we finally know what KFC truly stands for. D’you think Colonel Sanders and General Tao ever served together?

  • Have some respect for Johnny Tillotson.

    I think the Colonel and the General served together at a well known mess. The result was delicious but a mystery -- and indeed an original recipe.

  • My first post to the almighty Joey D's blog. Whenever I see a KFC ad, particularly spoofed like the above, it takes me back to a Golden Words advert, circa '93/94 (my first year, and I believe Joey's last in K-town).

    KFC = Kickin' Fuckin' Chicken.

    Ah, memories.
