   Not baked, fried! Per Wikipedia: “The chicken is hand-breaded at individual KFC outlets with wheat flour mixed with seasoning in a two- to four-minute process. It is then pressure fried for between seven and 10 minutes (the timing differs between countries) in oil at 185 degrees Celsius.”

   Not likely, but I did comment back in 2016 that Trump’s running for office was the only thing stopping him from swapping her out for a newer model like he’d done twice before—it would look bad for him and might cost him votes. He probably was thinking that she was getting a little too long in the tooth for his tastes, but he’d keep up appearances by sticking with her.

   For the same reason she has the body of a soda can.

   On the other hand, I’m 80, and the thought of dying before the latest Hitler/Stalin/Pol Pot clones start their latest round of horrors is oddly attractive

   Other, and perhaps better, candidates for the antichrist would have been Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and others of that ilk. Their own people put them in power (albeit, not always willingly) and God did nothing to stop it from happening, although I’m sure plenty of people prayed that He would. Also, the Apocalypse did not happen and eventually they died, and their countries gradually limped back to something resembling normalcy … until the next dictator channeling them rose to power. We humans never learn.

   Yes, that is true. But then he’d be in an apartment building with a landlord and other tenants which may not be other college students, and such pranks are frowned upon (if not absolutely forbidden), annoy the other tenants, and may lead to eviction. College dorms, on the other hand, contain nothing but college students (such as the ones crowding around his doorway), and are relatively tolerant of such hi-jinks as long as no permanent damage is done. I speak as one who has participated in and been subject to a few pranks myself back in the long-long-ago days at college.

   Obviously you don’t watch many police procedural programs … or do many crossword puzzles—BOLO makes frequent appearances on both those venues.

   He’s not living at home—he’s back at college. I think he’s living in a dorm, which is probably paid for at the beginning of the school term, so he can’t move out without forfeiting that rent. Besides, stupid pranks are one of the perks of living in a dorm … or something like that.

   “No, dear. That would kill them, and I hope you don’t want that. They’ve got an important job to do making good dirt for our backyard, so you’d better hurry and put them back so they can get on with their work” [Except, he’s probably squished them to death already. Oh well, as long as I don’t have to get out of this nice steamy bath]

    They will NEVER be “losers and suckers” in my eyes! They will always be HEROS!
