    Still in Alabama and it was 75 degrees today. I will never live in Pennsylvania again after May. I love this place and Chic Fil A is everywhere. Next time one of you southern GDABers goes north ask for a sweet tea and watch the stupid look you will get.

    Chic Fil A is run by nutty christians, not even open on Sunday. I recommend Bojangles instead. Also, if you haven’t had it, Five Guys.

    Oh, man. I haven’t had a ChicFilA since I lived in Texas. Or Bluebell Ice Cream. Or Shipley’s Donuts. :(

  • GItheJOE

    Thank you Mr. Disaster. I will give it a try. I have a couple more days down here. The nutty christians make some goddamn awesome chicken.

    For Lee!!Just a quick thought on the health insurance thing from yesterday(BTW, it sucks & I really, really understand).Don’t know how it is for where you live, but here in Wis., there is health Ins. for all kids (not dependent on income–within limits, of course–no zillionaires!)Might be worth checking into for your state…Minx

    There’s a Chic-Fil-A in York, PA – at least there was 10 years ago – so there goes that excuse, Joe. Also…Orange Julius & Lola’s Luscious Lemonade, which really is luscious.In PA, though, you have to specify what kind of baloney you want. Ask a New Englander for minced baloney & they will think you want it diced.

    I discovered a Chic-Fil-A in downtown Denver this summer. I had no idea it was that close to me. It’s in what I call the Cave of Wonders, an underground food court beneath Republic Plaza.Yes it’s run by nutty christians (I’m such a Christophobe) but they must be the only ones that God talks back to because the chicken is soooooo good it has to be the Lord’s recipe…

  • Alan4s

    Must be a biz decision, but most all of the Malls up here in MA and NH have Chic-Fil-A in their food courts. It’s odd to go on Sunday and see that as the only shop closed in the food court.

  • Redmond

    In all your trips down south, you’ve never been to a Bojangles, Joe?!You’re no brother of mine, blasphemer!(I kid. Not counting their biscuits, Bojangles is “eh.” Chik-Fil-A and their Jesus Chicken is the stuff. Just ask Rick Warren. Unless you’re gay, then he’ll tell you to stop eating his holy chicken. True story.)

  • GItheJOE

    Nope, never ate at a bojangles but I loves me some gay fearing jesus chicken. One question, how do the jesus people know how to cook good chicken? I think it is that manifest destiny thing.

  • ceu

    This is the problem with Christmas…everyone gets confused about what day of the week it is… yesterday felt like Monday & today feels like Sunday.Deep thoughts…

  • Redmond

    Did someone say Deep Thoughts?”Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.”

  • ceu

    Ah, Redmond….that did make me smile, but then I remembered the health insurance post…

    MINX! Good point! We had something similar in NJ when I lived there. Course, Lee may be in a similar boat as me – always making too much money to qualify for social services, and not enough to keep one’s head above water…But still, good thought.QT

  • theo

    Lots of GDAB quotes on here…

  • GItheJOE

    Hang in there theo. I am in an alternate universe as well as many other GDABers. I will be storming the PTT on tuesday night.

    Jesus the triple post that is fucking great.

  • Myhero

    lol joe. no big deal we’re used to it.

    The southern cuisine is great but I am not a fan of Krispy Kreme. Their donuts are sugary air — I love Dunkin Donuts and the cakey goodness of a double-chocolate.

  • Redmond

    Myhero, don’t coddle, Joe.His triple posting has brought shame to my family. SHAME!

  • Teh Minx

    Yikes! So quiet– I don’t have to do the special Shhh! Technique that was taught in library school.I have been picking up British colloquialisms lately (it’s an oddball talent of mine) & love the term “bevvy” for beverage. So, what’s your favorite bevvy? Hot or cold? Simple or fancy? Alcoholic or not?This time o’ year I’m loving hot choc with about 5367 mini-marshmallows. But I adore a great strawberry Margarita with 345 lbs. O’ chips & salsa! Minx

    I just watched the movie ” September Dawn . ” If you don’t believe in Hollywood’s account of historical events, read Juanita Brook’s account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. If you need any further convincing, there is a new account of the massacre by Ronald W. Walker. To those who are offended by the passage of Proposition 8. I say , damn the mormons. Fight them to your last breath.

    Bojangles will kill you. They don’t even dress the chicken with a piece of lettuce and a bun around all the grease. I cannot eat a Bojangles biscuit in my car because with the grease leaching out of it I end up with a big spot on my thigh. It never goes away, folks. Eat the Jesus chicken. You will still die from it but not as quickly.Krispy Kreme, now that’s heaven. I live 30 miles or so from the original, very first ever Hallowed Hall of Dog-nuts and I grew up eating me some heaven.Sweet tea sucks. I spent my first year of school in upstate NY and maybe that inoculated me from the sweet tea need. Around here you get looks and the wrath of waitresses if you ask for Unsweetened tea. Yes, they don’t call it non-sweet, they call it unsweetened like you made them personally extract the sugar that they labored over putting in there.
