The Stuff

Today I had my first Cluck-U Chicken in maybe a decade. In college, I placed many an order at the New Brunswick Cluck-U in the middle of the night of drinking and mayhem. All Cluck-U employees seem to be flustered and angry, and I can’t blame them considering that the bulk of their patrons are probably surly teens and obnoxious drunks. Also considering that they’re breathing in hot-sauce fumes all day — no wonder they’re less than sunny.

Cluck-U specializes in spicy hot wings drenched in sauces with names like Atomic, Nuclear, Thermo-Nuclear and “911″ (the hottest). Today I opted for mild sauce because I was in the mood for chicken and not to impress my drunken buddies. After visiting the Cluck-U website I found out that they have a “911″ challenge — eat 6 wings with the “911″ sauce, wait 5 minutes before drinking a soothing liquid, and you get a t-shirt.

Here’s a video of a kid trying the 911 challenge.

Are you up for the challenge???

No, Fudge Dalek is not the name of my new prog/jam band, but it is a confection made by some folks and posted on Flickr:

I love sugary treats and Daleks are pretty interesting. Today I’m glad there’s an internet.

Actually I don’t got your Batter Blaster… at least not this Batter Blaster. Organic Batter Blaster, an actual product, is pancake & waffle mix in a can. No more fuss with messy mixes and sticky eggs! And mixing bowl clean-up? It’s a thing of the past.

If someone wants to ship me a case…

I need to add a Blendtec Blender to my real Christmas list. In this episode of Will It Blend, the dude blends Christmas hassles.

Here’s a funny customer complaint to Jimmy Dean sausage. 600 pounds of men need their 16 ounces of sausage!!! Damn it! Apparently Jimmy Dean downsized their 16oz. tube of sausage meat to 12oz. and they didn’t try to lower their price. Their next move might be to make the sausage meat in China.

BTW, I ate a 10 link box of Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage last night and loved it.

Black Black is still my favorite gum. Some say it’s an acquired taste — a spicy taste I acquired immediately. Aside from being from Japan, the cool thing about Black Black is it has caffeine in it. I think it’s the least boring gum in the world.
