Drive Thru Our Schizophrenic Freak Fest

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

A few months ago, I decided to go through the drive-thru at KFC on my lunch break. Now, when going through a drive-thru at any given fast food restaurant, I expect that I will be asked “do you want a drink with that?”, or “would you like the Biggie size with that?”, or something along those lines. That’s fine. Lately, however, KFC has been doing something that is just, well…creepy.

I was so unsettled by my drive-thru experience that I did what any other red-blooded human being would do: I recorded it so I could post it on the Internet. Below are two sound files that will give you a glimpse of what you might run into if you try going through the drive-thru at KFC.

I mean, what are they trying to pull?!? Do they not trust their own employees to be enthusiastic enough when they try and push the combo meal?!?! Do they think I’m not smart enough to catch “the switch”?!?

Bah.

Hello.

Welp, new year = new blog. It makes sense.

I gave up on Movable Type 4 and made the jump to Word Press. I also installed it on RoboBandito, which will be my new place for posting photos, sketches, and commentary about stuff that might not be that interesting to a lot of my friends and family. Meanwhile, this will be the web log to visit when you want to know the important stuff, such as: What kind of cereal is Mike sporting in his cupboard these days? Did Mike take a nap today? And so on.

Meanwhile, I still plan on posting plenty of sketches on this web log. See:

Winged food items

Today I discovered that, while an extra set of wings seems natural for most doodles, they don’t actually work very well on birds.

It’s ridiculous, really.
