Looks like we've scored a new shorts sponsor

Noticed watching the news tonight when Gibcus came out of his scan saw the KFC logo on his shorts...

Wonder when it will be announced?

You want a KFC related story?

When I was 10, I went to a schoolmate's birthday party. By the end, we were the only two kids left and we were still hungry. So, his dad drives down to the local Kentucky Fried Chicken and picks up an 18-piece bucket for just us two kids lol. We ate it all too - 9 pieces each! Now my mate was a skinny beanpole (taller than his mum at 11 :o ) and I was a skinny little kid at that age too. So, it wasn't like we were Jabba the Hutts. The reason being that after scoffing all that food we went out into the back alleyway and played cricket for the next 4 hours. You don't see kids playing street cricket or footy anymore as local streets are too busy now.

That is a solid effort. I can put away maybe 5 chicken strips before I'm totally cooked

Yeah, I don't think I could do it now. Hello middle age :P. It was also after eating cake, party pies, sausage rolls, fairy bread and all the usual stuff at kids' birthday parties back then. We also drank a heap of old school red cordial. No wonder we were on a massive energy high lol.

I've had bad days with KFC.

Wagged school with my mate when we were 16, grabbed an 18 piece bucket as soon as KFC opened, shoved it in our school bag to sneak into a movie and ate 9 pieces for breakfast at the flicks instead of going to school lol.

Also been in the drive thru at closing when they basically give it away. As much chicken as you want for $10 they said. So I said make my day then and got 20 pieces. Ate it for 3 days straight lmao.

These days I have it a few times a year and always feel immediately sick afterwards. Like a bad ex missus you keep going back and are quickly reminded how crap it is.
