In and around 1990, maybe 91, Hardee's hamburger chain bought Roy Rogers fried Chicken. And they started selling fried Chicken at their hamburger shops.
Now I don't know if they got this from Roy Rogers or if somebody in the Norfolk area dreamed it up, but they sold cheese biscuits at Hardee's. And it was like the Red Lobster cheese biscuit - little pieces of cheddar cheese was in the biscuit dough and cooked while the biscuit was cooking.
Boy that was good.
I still lived in Florida but I was working in Norfolk, and one weekend I went home. Driving through some little town in North Carolina I got hungry, and pulled into a Hardee's. Ordered me a half a dozen cheese biscuits and a chocolate shake, went out and got in the truck and headed on down the road. After about a half a mile down the road I reached in the sack to get me one of them biscuits.
They had taken a regular Hardee's biscuit and split it and put a piece of American cheese in it. Made a cheese sandwich using a biscuit instead of two slices of bread.
Apparently they did not make cheese biscuits in North Carolina. And I was quite annoyed.
Partly annoyed because this wasn't what I wanted, but mostly annoyed because they didn't say - a half a dozen what??
I mean, heck, if somebody asks for something that you don't sell, let him know.

Florida man pees on meat in Sam's club
Notice - it did not say "Massachusetts woman" found not guilty. It did not say "California woman" pees on porch.
But "Florida man" pees on the meat.

My daddy told me about when he was in the Navy, he made up a pot of grits one morning. His Yankee roommate turned his nose up.
He poured the leftover grits and a loaf pan and put them in the refrigerator. The next morning he sliced them, fried them in bacon grease and put them on the plate with a bottle of syrup on the table. The Yankee scarfed 'em down. Said he really liked fried mush.
Fell I worked with one time - said when he was in the Air Force he was stationed in Louisiana. And the locals was all the time trying to get him to eat grits. So finally he went to breakfast with them and he ordered a bowl of grits. And he put on a big dollop of butter, and two big spoonfuls of sugar, and then poured milk in it. Said it was almost as good as oatmeal.
I'm surprised he made it out of the restaurant alive.
Grits ain't supposed to be sweet.

So I take it that I am the only one that does not like the trigger?
Not the trigger pull - the shape of the trigger. It is uncomfortable to my hand.
Look at how tight the curve on that trigger is, compared to this Smith & Wesson.
I have a Colt Python and a Colt New Service. And they are large enough, physically, that that tight curve to the trigger is not uncomfortable.
But years back I bought a Police Positive Special. And after owning it and shooting it for about a year I gave it to my daughter. Because it was just too uncomfortable to shoot. I did not like the way the trigger felt on my finger.

That's funny. You posted in the wrong thread, but that's funny.

I'll be reading along and the author will say something and I'm just sitting there - I don't think that means what he thinks it means.
"He shouldered the shotgun."
The two guys show up at the house. Third guy comes out of the back room. When he saw who it was, "he shouldered the shotgun".
What's that mean to you?
He put the butt of the shotgun up to his shoulder, so it is pointed at you?
He has the shotgun resting on his shoulder, like a soldier marching in a parade?
Or something else?
To me it meant that he had the butt up to his shoulder, and since the two visitors were friends it was a little bit puzzling. 🤔

They didn't take into account the speed of people versus the speed of computers.
If I'm on a telegraph key, and you're on the telegraph key - whether we're using wired or wireless telegraphy is irrelevant - as soon as I hit my key you hear it. Speed of light (what's that - 186,000 miles per second?)
But the text is sent at the speed of a computer. And sometimes those computers take a while.
I pay my phone bill online and they send me a confirmation text. Sometimes I have not set my phone down before I hear that text arrive - ding! But sometimes it takes four or five minutes before that confirmation text gets here. Because the computer was busy doing something else I guess.
So texter A could have finished sending his message, but because of computer lag texter B had not yet received it.

I ate some crawdad tails at a Chinese buffet one time. They weren't bad, but they weren't something I would go out of my way to eat again. They also had octopus and I tried that. That one time.
But as I say, I had crawdad tails. If they had had whole crawdad I would have pulled the head off and still only eat the tail.
Suck the head? Yeah. You have at it. Then have some pig brains with your scrambled eggs, followed up by some fresh Rocky mountain oysters.
But I believe I'll pass.

I think a more better question would be when it enters his digestive tract did it go down to it or up to it?
