C.R. Chicks Has Some Really Good Chicken
My friend went to "C.R. Chicks" to eat some chicken. It's a little place where they have rotisserie chicken, and it's pretty good, I think. That's my opinion.
He ran into a person he used to go to church with. She asked, "Hey -- haven't seen you for awhile. What're you up to?" He'd actually stopped going there a year and a half ago. He told her he found some friends who really loved him, and he's really growing and stuff, and no, he doesn't go to that church anymore, but it's all cool.
She loudly began praying for the "spirit of rebellion" to come out of him. My friend says he didn't really feel anything happen after that, but he finished his chicken there at C.R. Chicks.
C.R. Chicks also has meat loaf sandwiches which are pretty good.
I thought the FLDS laid claim to that prayer?
You ought to do a blog entry on those nutty people in Texas. The nutty police, not the nutty religious freaks.

That just blows me away.
What kind of bread do they put the meatloaf on?

I just hate to have my demons removed in the middle of dinner! Other diners tend to find the rolling eyeballs and seaweed-spewing a little disturbing.

Duh...
We all know that C.R. stands for "Continuous Rebellion".

I'll take a meatloaf sandwich, some of that chicken and artichoke pasta, a half rotisserie chicken (don't want to be gluttonous!), and a piece of s.c. apple and choco-banana cream pie. To go, please.
Thanks.
By the way, I tell my husband to go to the restroom when the "spirit of rebellion" starts coming out of him. It's usually after he eats too much hot chile.

Good Golly Miss Molly!

That's one of the most dumbest things I've ever heard.
Everyone knows you put meatloaf on white bread. By the way, does it have that ketchup-y glaze on top?

She must be pretty spiritually discerning to get a word about him that quickly, after not noticing he'd been gone for a year and a half.
I like mayo on my meatloaf sandwiches.

He should go to Kenny Rogers Roasters instead. His friend would never enter a place owned by "The Gambler."

I think I'll not have what she had though. However, I'd let her pray for me if she bought me a piece of cake.

Please tell me you're making this up! Oh, man!
I'm a vegetarian, but I would like the mashed potatoes I'm sure.

I like my meatloaf sandwiches with mayo AND ketchup. That way when people try to get the "spirit of rebellion" out of me while I'm eating lunch, I can be gross and stream a little ketchup out of the corner of my mouth as I have a mock-seizure.

Let me get this straight: Your friend, who hasn't gone to his "old church for a year-and-a-half, runs into a congregant from that church, who casts out a demon in a rotisserie chicken restaurant? Are you kidding? You have rotisserie chicken restaurants where you live? Man, now I know why people say New Jersey sucks.

Well, Monica beat me to it and connected the "spirit of rebellion" to the bathroom. That's what I get for missing half the day on the computer.
White bread with the meatloaf sandwich. With a little spicy bar-b-que sauce.

Maybe the lady really cared about his soul.

Why is it that on the day I am fasting, everyone posts about food?! Maybe I'd better throw down a little prayer around here...
Posted by: wilsonian | April 17, 2008 at 06:46 PM
Euphrony, I live in New Mexico. The "spirit of rebellion" is a way of life for us out here with all of the hot chile sauce we put on everything. Besides, someone had to make the poo joke...

i quit going to church about 2 years ago. people would tell my parents (who still went) all the time "oh, we miss cuyler! how's he doing?" and finally my mom told them, "if you miss him so much, why don't you call him?" no one did, and no one asked about me again.

It was the "spirit of rebellion" in regards to Kentucky Fried Chicken she was praying out of him........maybe?

After euphrony: I'm surprised how many people made the spirit-bathroom connection.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I think the worst part is that she probably went to the prayer meeting on Wednesday night and shared how she got a chance to "witness to our old friend who's backsliding right now".
Not that I don't kinda, just a little, like the idea of praying loudly and embarrassingly for someone in a public place. But that's because I like to mess with people. ;-)

I think she had irritable religion syndrome. It's often brought on by running into people that are no longer conscripts to religious obligation, and meatloaf on rye.

I just _love_ how off-topic all the comments are.
Isn't meatloaf already bread?

If I were to meet Brant in a rotisserie chicken place, I would probably call out the evil spirit of accordion playing. That would make a big scene, but we could probably snarf down some free meatloaf sandwiches because people are uncomfortable around accordion players and they would get up and leave.

What ever happened to separation of church and chicken? Where is this country headed if you can't order soul food without someone accusing yours of rebellion?

I'm not sure how I came across your blog, but I'm glad I did!
