Was at KFC today (and yes, I am feeling barf-tastic, thankyouverymuch, with the headless chickens and what not) and they've got this nice glossy poster up on the wall talking about how the Colonel (Sanders, that is. heh. There's a funny image) used to carry the recipe around in his head and the secret spice mix around in his car.

In his *car*? Aside from the creepiness surrounding KFC already, does it alarm no one that the founder and now corporate symbol used to carry the secret spice mix around in his car? And the company is advertising this? ("Well, see our founder used to live in a car, down by the river, where he'd mix up eleven herbs and spices and then coat the chicken with it . . .")

I swear to God I live in bizarro world.

Uh, will update with, you know, interesting, important stuff soonish and reply to comments. Ahem

See, now, if they'd prefaced or followed the whole "he drove around with it in his car" with the entire story, I'd be a little more okay with the car bit. It makes sense. Ahhh, the great American entrepreneur. It's kinda sweet. But I still believe that without that knowledge the idea of a dirty old man with the secret recipe in the trunk of his car is creepy. :)

You do know a lot about this. I've taken notes. :)
