You had me confused for a second, I had to Google Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and I thought it was the actual name of the sandwich.  :-[

As far as the KFC Double Down goes, I don't get why people are so appalled by this. It's just two small boneless chicken breasts with a piece of cheese and two strips of bacon in between them. I mean, who doesn't go to KFC and order some kind of meal with at least two pieces of chicken and one or two side dishes? The Double Down by itself certainly is no worse than that.

I don't understand why people make such a huge stink over the KFC Double Down yet you almost never hear anyone talk about Hardee's, which I'm beginning to think is the Phillip Morris of fast food.  :P

Isn't the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster a drink not food?


the recipe as follows:


"Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.
Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia).
Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones.
Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian suns deep into the heart of the drink.
Sprinkle Zamphour.
Add an olive.

       
Drink...but very carefully."

What is a Gargle Blaster Sandwich? ???

I was referring to the idea of having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick, is what the sandwich would to you, if you have one too many.

;D

Truth be told, I think once you actually try a Double Down you'll most likely find it underwhelming and wonder, like me, why everyone has been making such a big deal out of it. I tried one once earlier this year and haven't had another, not because it was nasty but more because it was like, "Meh, whatever."

Not to mention that when I have the occasional fried chicken jones I no longer go to KFC to get my fix, I found a local Kansas City chain that is so much better. (Go Chicken Go FTW!  :D)


Now, if you really want to go for the gold and get your gargle blaster working, skip KFC and go to a Flying J truck stop instead. A couple trips through the $7.99 all-you-can-eat buffet and you'll be ready to appear on tomorrow night's episode of Man vs. Toilet !  8-P 8-P 8-P

Have you any idea what damage that bulldozer would sustain if I just let it run straight over you?


No I haven't.


*smite*

"None at all."

(But Don't Panic!  There's hope for you yet!)

I'm off to grab a Double Down and then ream out my arteries with a slice of paclitaxel wrapped 'round a large nichrome stent.  Now, read that book, or I shall read you some more of my poetry.

On the cover is Rupert Piper.  His mother and her friend are at the door.  They're going to ask him put on that dress because Rupert's the same height as the girl for whom the dress is intended.

I doubt it crossed (cross dressed) the author's mind in 1956, let alone the average fifth grader.  Anyway, today's fifth graders are too busy killing hookers in Grand Theft Auto 3 to bother with some tow-headed scamp who likes cupcakes and thinks "dames" are stupid.
