The more I'm learning, the more Im realizing that Colonel Sanders was basically the Steve Jobs of fast food.

In Asia, KFCs are like how Waffle House is in Georgia apparantly. And in Japan, there's some weird tradition where every Japanese person eats at KFC on Christmas Day kind of like how we eat turkey on Thanksgiving. This is crazy man.

CheeseGrits, If the Colonel was alive today he'd be 130 years old. Are you a centenarian? When exactly did you run with the Steve Jobs of chicken?

Litigator, Are you up for another mission? Over.

Apparently there's a secret menu at KFC complete with code words for people in something called "The CC".

My bloody mary recipe comes from my late grandmother from Forrest City AR.

For Christmas the year I turned 21, she sent me a bottle of Stoli.

The bloody mary recipe i can type later. No garnish though.

Litigator, Is your passport current? We may need you to visit an asian waffle House (aka KFC/popeyes).

If not, we need to get to the bottom of who exactly is leaving their shopping cart in the middle a parking spot at the grocery store instead of pushing it to that area where you're supposed to like a civilized non-scumbag non-piece of shite would. I'm talking a full investigation/profiling campaign recording gender, race, tattoo imagery, visible religious symbols, etc, etc

Let the chips fall where they may. Enough is enough.

The multi-pronged approach with various actors has been deliberate. Darryl Hammond, Norm McDonald, George Hamilton, Jim Gaffigan, Rob Riggle, Vincent Kartheiser and Billy Zane have all donned the string bow tie since May 2015.

quote:

KFC CMO Kevin Hochman told PRWeek, "The plan was always to rotate colonels. We always thought of it like James Bond. The actor that dons the white suit brings something of his own to the actual character."[23] Although the rotating "Real Colonel Sanders" campaigns have generated mixed reviews, analysts and company executives credit it with helping to boost sales.

I'm not buying it. It's not like the higher-ups would ever tell the truth about it anyway. (Just look at the "New Coke" scam from the 80s.)

Note how the first replacement Colonel was the SNL dude who specializes in doing impressions. He wasn't trying to do a Colonel Sanders caricature like the others. He was trying to do an authentic Colonel Sanders imitation and the bit was to put the Colonel in funny situations. But it bombed. Hard core. Mainly because the dude's Colonel schtick sucked balls and was terrible.

So, they moved to Plan B:
1) fire the impressionist
2) rotate Colonel actors
3) and go with slap-stick buffoon caricature Colonels instead of trying to pull of an authentic impersonation

I had a write up but SECrant on mobile sucks so bad I can't even begin to tell you. Basically anymore if you are going to write more than a couple of sentences you need to import it from another document. And it won't let you stay logged in and signs you out automatically so all your stuff gets erased. Oh well.

Litigator, What's with all the bloody marys and bourbon on Mondays and tuesdays? Are you celebrating a divorce finalization?

Moving on.. Put that thing about scumbags who leave shopping carts in parking spaces or anywhere other than the designated cart place on your radar. Snap pics when possible. We need to compile data/statistics, and then have people guess on the most common gender, race, economic class, etc that is perpetrating this bullshite. And then we'll reveal the stats. Whatever they may be. As a non-PC sociological experiment.

I like the black spokeslady for Popeye's. She seems really pleasant and relatable. DO they use her in advertising in the middle east?

I bet they don't. And I bet I know the ugly reason why.

No but drinking is probably a good idea after having to deal with some high maintenance clients after what was a peaceful weekend.

Since Deeprig was talking about spices I thought he might divulge his closely guarded Bloody Mary recipe which I believe he left in a duck blind once upon a time. The Kentucky bourbon was for Cheese Grits and his bourbon drenched hot dogs. If accompanied by one or two bourbon shots these would become instant classics. The first pics were KFC Georgia Double Down Dogs which would we could dress up with some black colors as they already have red colors in the packaging scheme and we could serve them at games. Then there's the Arkansas bacon version which is bacon and a burger sandwiched in between chicken with no bun. And finally the Wild Thang purple & gold mini corn dog version which is put out by A & W but could be picked up by KFC to serve at games. (I guess he's still waiting on GSB reinstatement?).

KFC SEC team-themed fare to serve at all of our athletic contests. There's money to be made. Just let your imagination be your guide.

Efforts to revive the flagging KFC brand recently included the return of the late poultry pitchman, played by comedian Darrell Hammond of “Saturday Night Live” fame in new television ads.

So far the response has been about 80% positive, 20% hate it,” said Greg Creed, chief executive officer of parent company Yum! Brands, Inc., during a May 27 presentation at the Sanford C. Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York. “But you know what? That’s better than 100% being indifferent. And that really is what’s important … we had lost relevance in the U.S. Sixty per cent of millennials had not eaten KFC.

“So I’m very excited that this work is really distinctive and disruptive. And I am actually quite happy that 20% hate it, because now they at least have an opinion. They’re actually talking about KFC, and you can market to love and hate; you cannot market to indifference.”

The weird thing is that in an interview on Fox Business a few months ago, the KFC CEO said that they see Chick-fil-A as their #1 competition, not Church's/Popeye's/et al.. That struck me as very bizarre.
