So I make a last minute decision to take the day off and do much needed yard/house work while it's still nice outside and the whole family is gone to school or other activities. I work on building my shed and after a few good hours of work, I decide to "treat" myself to some KFC, ...which my wife will never allow in the house ! So I hop in the car and head-off to the local KFC. As I approach the intersection, I see a cop turning people away and sending them in the opposite direction. They've completely sealed off a large section of a very busy road ( Montreal Rd. at Blair ) Since the KFC is right around the corner, I park my car on the side of the road and decide to dash in. As I approach the place, about 500 ft away I see ... 6 Ambulances 3 Fire Trucks More cop cars than I count ( probably 12-14 cars ) Tactical Units Two OC Transpo buses Media crews from CBC, Global and A-Channel As I walk into the KFC, I ask the sole shift manager what's going on "... f*** if I know, but it's completely shut down all my lunch rush business and I've got 200 f---ing pieces that'll go to waste if no-one shows-up soon ! " ...so semi-jokingly I ask: "... so is there a Fire sale on the chicken ? ...say, $5 for a bucket ? " He looks at me, deadpan, pauses ... " make it $7 and you've got a deal ! " So here I am, gunking-up my keyboard with grease, eating my 8th piece of chicken, wondering why the hell can't I find pinball deals like this !  Still, eating enough KFC to make the average mortal puke has always been a closet fantasy of mine... YUM !  [BTW : If anyone has "connections" as to what was going on on Montreal Rd. please let me know. It looked pretty bad... ] Steph |

I recall seeing ambulances heading East on the Queensway when I drove into work this morning near Moodie. I wonder if it's connected? Must be something big, like a bomb scare.
Now I really want some KFC. Damn you! |

Well Steph, the world could be going to hell in a hand basket (no pun intended) but more importantly you got your intake of 3000 calories.  I noted that the story ended without an explanation as to what the crisis was but that you had your "finger lick'n good" bargain. |

PZ... although PZ has the worst WPC sound samples ever, so he could have been saying "Wayne is a troll". |

Yeah I had it and it was fun for sure. One of the best flashers games around, they are everywhere on it. It's not the content of the samples it's the quality. |

Yep, dimmed to red lensed GI and then flashers went wild. Ok, now stop talking about it because I am going to start missing the game.  I liked it and Dr. Dude quite a bit come to think of it. Not deep at all, just fun. |

Out of all the Midway System 11's I did like it the best. I did find Radical an interesting Sys 11 too but haven't owned it yet. Like the DMD animation "Hey it's me". Steph's new avatar.....  |

I don't get it. Can someone explain?
It wasn't MSPaint that was funny, it was Sparky's KFC/Robotron picture that was. You have to be a Robotron fanatic like me to see the humor of the big goggles on Colonel Sanders. ...and the Ro"bucket"ron 20.84$ was also very clever... Like I said, you have to be a Robotron junkie to see the humor there... Salut, Steph |

ah crap. Not to put a damper on the fun posts but very on-topic. It seems the senior's home resulted in the death of a friend's uncle. Smoking in his room, probably in bed. Jeez that sucks and is so stupid.  |

... and it was a smoke-free environment where he had been warned repeatedly not to smoke inside... So preventable.... Steph |
