Friday Overnight… Open Thread


He doesn’t say what he wants when he gets the munchies. I wanna guess “Church’s”, but people would call me racist — even if Church’s is really what he wanted. Though I’m sure he really wants to drink champagne after diving the Great Barrier Reef.

    Maybe KFC,Floyd…it is still OK for a white man to like Fried Chicken:don’t be so hard on yourself!

    Phil Spector just got 19 years to life for the murder of Lana Clarkson.

  • F Church’s. F KFC (or KGC). I needs me some Roscoe’s!!! Sadly, no 8-track of Sam & Dave, so the CD will have to suffice for the drive to Hollywood…

    I was guessing Church’s for Muddy. Blacks — at least in Texas — always seemed to favor Church’s over KFC, Popeye’s, et al. My Mom always made the best fried chicken.

    • See I used to notice that 90% of the people in Church’s commercials were black and wondered if that was racist or just smart advertising. Guess it would depend on the color of the ad man. Church’s and Popeye’s are tied here. I am also a frequent visitor at Popeye’s but don’t really like Church’s. There’s your mom2many fact for the day, carry on.

    Good news,Fritz..thanks…hope that son of a bitch Phil Specter dies in the custody of the California Department of Corrections

    I heard that Spector is being incarcerated between walls of sound.

    • “Everybody’s left me, you know?” Ortiz responded, tears streaming down his face. “You left me, Pedro left me. The only one who doesn’t leave is Jason [Varitek], and he don’t talk to me. He don’t talk to anyone.”

      Witnesses at the scene said that, as the two sluggers cried in each other’s arms, Ramirez and Ortiz’s attention focused on the Little League diamond, where a player had just hit a walk-off home run. Ramirez whispered to Ortiz, “That is like you in the playoffs, man, but bigger. Remember that? You just go up there and hit the ball. You don’t need to think. You’re Big Papi. You go up there and be Big Papi.”

      I wish I could just subscribe to their sports feed and not the whole schmear.

        I don’t get it.

        Do Ortiz and Ramirez hate each or something?

        • Matt Helm

          Kit, they’re friends. This is just taking a poke at how many believe that Ortiz’s hitting slump that he’s in this year is because of his maybe being on steroids the last few years and is now off them, and can’t hit. Now that Ramirez was found using steroids or whatever, it may not be coincidental that Ortiz’s can’t hit now that Manny (a possible source for his alleged enhancement substance) isn’t on the team anymore.

    I perfected fried chicken three weeks ago after months of experimenting. I’ve had to do that with a lot of foods that suck in the restaurants in FL, which is basically all of them.

    • I can’t make good fried chicken. Give me the recipe.

      So I like to cook. Anyone have a problem with that? Matt and I are just swapping recipes like any two guys do.

      It’s fried chicken for crying out loud, not quiche!

      (Matt, I make a mean quiche if you want to work out a trade.)

    Someone e-mailed me this:

    Dear Mr. President,

    Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ‘s economy.

    Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
    You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan.

    There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. – Pay
    Them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

    1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings – unemployment
    fixed.

    2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – auto industry fixed.

    3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – housing crisis fixed.

  • Floyd, if you forget to start an open thread early enough in the day it doesn’t really matter.

    We can just create one of our own on one of JohnFN’s posts.

    Mike, just get a beer batter recipe online. Use Guinness for the beer and use a bit less baking powder than they call for. Dredge the chicken in flour, then in the beer batter, and then roll it in panko breadcrumbs, just a little you don’t want to coat the whole thing in them. Drop the sucker into a deep fryer until golden brown (5 min. or so depending on the size of the chicken parts). This is if you like your fired chicken crispy.

  • Matt Helm

    Make that 7-10 minutes in the fryer.

  • I have a great chili recipe, but I shan’t share because it changes everytime I make it.

    Oh!

    UP is opening up (pun!) well.

    http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/05/30/weekend-box-office-up-soars/#more-148098

    John Nolte: “Considering ‘Up’ is fairly low concept and starring a 78 year-old man, this is beyond impressive. Word of mouth, rave reviews and the reservoir of goodwill Pixar’s built up over the years are making this a real audience-driven sensation.”

    SEE HOLLYWOOD! YOU DON’T NEED A 20 YEAR OLD MALE UNDERWEAR MODEL TO DRIVE A FILM!!!
