Closet Homosexuality and McNuggets


Everybody have a good week? I did, I guess. I came home today to Hellstorm and Pat watching Notting Hill at 3:45 in the afternoon. Is that weird? Who watches a Brittish comedy on a Friday afternoon. My favorite thing about Pat watching any movie with accents or a foreign language is watching him do his puzzled look. There were two instances where he kind of turned his head a quarter turn like a dog and asked, "what did they just say?"
Granted, it was Brittish humor so I had absolutely no idea what was being said or if it was funny or not, but it was amusing none the less. Is Notting Hill funny? Maybe. Pat mentioned several times that Hugh Grant is one sexy son of a bitch. So it's got that going for it. Pat is also a huge fan of Zac Effron. For some reason when we watched 17 Again last weekend (I know, sad, sad, sad) Pat had to keep a blanket over his lap the whole time. Must have been cold, although it was like 85 degrees that night. I believe his exact quote at one point was "oh that zachy E has got an ass that won't quit!!" Ok, new topic please.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that Chicken McNuggets are racist? When I think about it, I guess it's not just Chicken McNuggets but all processed chicken products. Why do all of them stress no dark meat. Seriously. McDonald's made a huge deal about this a few years ago. I understand the "no filler" claim they always stress because no one wants to eat beaks, feet and chicken shit, but why "no dark meat"? Dark meat is the best part of any bird. Turkey, Chicken, Pigeon, all have delicious dark meat. All children are being raised in America to hate dark meat. Every holiday my little cousins will refuse to eat the dark meat, they only want white meat which is usually pretty dry and tastes like a meaty sponge. They don't care, they gobble it up, they love it because it's white!! McDonald's is pushing their racist propaganda on America's youth with their stress that white meat is better than dark meat. Hellstorm just said the other night that she didn't like dark meat chicken when I offered some for her mac'n cheese. I informed her that it is way better than white meat and now she agrees. I think we should all make a public push that McDonald's puts dark meat back in their Chicken McNuggets. Would this settle the underlying racial inequalities in our country? No. But it would be a start, a delicious one at that.
