Liam and John Eat the Foods



This past Saturday Liam and I went to KFC to try the new Double down sandwich. For those of you that don’t know, the Double down is a sandwich consisting of bacon, cheese, and mayonnaise sauce, with fried chicken breasts filling in for the role of the bread (!!!). Now, I gotta say, I love the concept of this sandwich based on balls alone. I can’t help but fantasize about it’s creation: Late night, after the KFC corporate Christmas party, Jerry walks into the lab hammered with a sketch he’s been working on. He wakes up in the morning ashamed and fearing for his job after the copy machine incident from the night before; when he looks down to see his salvation. Jerry runs to his boss’s office carrying his new ‘sandwich’, saving his job. They kick around names, with the leaders being the “Aorta No More-ta” and the “Take That, Colon!!”. Jerry’s boss decides to get twice as many people in the office pitching names, to “double down” their efforts. And just like that, we have a new American classic. I would like to salute you KFC. But first I have to salute anyone who plans on being a heart surgeon in the future; You’re gonna have your hands full…

An Open Letter to Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera, put on your pants young lady!

Christina (or Xtina?), there is no denying your phenomenal voice. Your voice is very large which is surprising because you are very little! It is a bit frightening! I know this, because I went to see you live and you scared me a little (Editor’s note: You scared me a lot) because your speaking voice is soft, but when you belt out, you melt faces! My face was one of them. This is not what one would expect out of a small, blonde lady. Ms. Aguilera you are indeed talented.

Having said that, I do not understand this video you got going on here. What the hell is this? You do not need to wear PVC boots. Between you and me (and the GCI community) you can really sing as compared to your contemporaries (love you Britney, but girl, you know you can’t sing). That’s your calling card, your majestic unicorn voice. Let Gaga be Gaga (living performance art that is freaky but lovable). Let Madonna be Madonna (Demanding your attention AT ANY COST, but also lovable). You just be Christina Aguilera, not Xtina. Don’t crawl on the floor and lick up that milk. Stop dancing in that church. Leave that nice tied up lady alone.

Christina Aguilera, put on your pants young lady!

Respectfully yours,

Nicole
