Damn rotisserie chicken

[SD987]

As someone who "eats out" 365 days a year I confess that I too have consumed a Grocery Store Deli Rotisserie chicken.

Some observations:

They are generally on the small side and a whole one can be consumed by an amateur with less than Kobayashi-like skills. I think at the chicken farm they take all the small runt-sized ones and mark them for shipment to places like KFC and the grocery deli as they are definitely Grade B birds.

I don't routinely check the expiration date as I assume they're all cooked the "day of" and am horrified to hear they are not. I'll start checking henceforth.

However, I will say that the Rot-chickens are far too accessible to tampering. I've resisted the urge to lift the plastic lid and poke one for "moistness" on more than one occasion. Someone with an agenda (pretty clearly an Al Quaeda operative, in this case) could easily contaminate the chicken with Anthrax or similar. I think salmonella is more likely in the case of your chicken than e. coli. Salmonellae are frequent caught from poultry and raw eggs and more generally from food that has been cooked or frozen, and not eaten straight away. Plus, if someone tried to take an e.coli crap on a Rot-chicken, I like to think a keen-eyed store employee or the consumer would notice.

Don't be afraid to walk into the light, your wife can still communicate with you through your television set, or CJ_Boxster's set, as the case may be.

My TV set will do fine, it has Picture in Picture so i dont mind if he talks to his wife through the smaller picture in the corner while i watch the Speed Channel... They can use the bigger picture on "Two-Wheeled Tuesdays" on Speed, no one watches that program anyways.

I was plenty pissed when I heard that my friend Rail had gotten sick from rotisserie chicken, so I launched a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. My guys were able to obtain the video surveillance tapes from the offending supermarket, which showed the very chicken Rail ate. This video was shot roughly one hour before Rail was captured on video tape entering the store. Below is a still photo taken from the video evidence, which shows the actual chicken Rail had for dinner. Now, we are working tirelessly to piece together what went so horribly wrong. I assure you,I will not rest until I have solved this most disturbing mystery!

Nice Grizz...I almost had to make another trip to the bathroom with that picture.
