Surely this is not the feeling they intend to evoke

when they tell us about atherosclerosis. That is, the memory of succulent sweet Harold's Chicken melting on my tongue smothered in bar-b-que sauce. Which can be found only in Chicago to my knowlegde.

Some deficiencies Philadelphia will never be able to fix.

My other thought is that the last time I had my cholesterol taken, it was the early morning after a meal consisting of said Harold's. And my Cholesterol was still well within the normal range. This was a feat I did not think would be humanly possible. I mean, we're talking LDL in the 80s if I remember correctly, and an HDL of 60 or something.

Take that Apo-B100!

Dammit. Now you've made me hungry. I wonder if there are any Harold's open at 6:45am...

Freeform poetry time!

Oh, Harold's, with your bums and plexiglass, / with your drunks over from the liquor store / and your slumming UCers excited / for this break from QED problem sets / a Saturday night of chicken parts and / grease that steam in Chicago's winter air.

[To be performed over some arrhythmic drumming, 'natch.]

We had KFC for dinner last night. I was craving it thanks to your post. ;)

See, my Friday night wasn't much more exciting than yours. KFC and a study break to watch Alfie, the worst movie ever. Ugh.

Have a great weekend!
