Kentucky fried chicken on a New Year's Eve morning...

At age 5 his Father died.

At age 16 he quit school.

At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.

At age 18 he got married.

Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.

He joined the army and washed out there.

He applied for law school he was rejected.

He became an insurance sales man and failed again.

At age 19 he became a father.

At age 20 his wife left him and took their baby daughter.

He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.

He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own daughter, and eventually he convinced his wife to return home.

At age 65 he retired.

On the 1st day of retirement he received a cheque from the Government for $105.

He felt that the Government was saying that he couldn’t provide for himself.

He decided to commit suicide, it wasn’t worth living anymore; he had failed so much.

He sat under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished with his life. He realised there was much more that he hadn’t done. There was one thing he could do better than anyone he knew. And that was how to cook.

So he borrowed $87 against his cheque and bought and fried up some chicken using his recipe, and went door to door to sell them to his neighbours in Kentucky.

Remember at age 65 he was ready to commit suicide.

But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.

Moral of the story: Attitude. It's never too late to start all over.

MOST IMPORTANLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.

You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference.

What does it mean to borrow 87 dollars against a 105 dollar check?
 
Usually when you play an opponent that lost to your arch rival after beating them on a Sunny Saturday in Armageddon after Thanksvgiving...

It means you have one option.

To take the team to Bones in Nickhead and pay the $86,000 bill.

Then, you take them to chops and pay that bill.

Finally, after an interesting wealthy night in uptown Nickhead, you take them to highlands for breakfast at Murphys. That bill for 100 players is only $4,750, not $86,000.

Feed me well and fry the Kentucky chicken on New Year's Eve in sunny Jacksonville. You had West Virginia beat a decade ago and gailey tanked it away.

Show em you got some of that 1998 Tarplin, Rogers, and Nate Stimson in you. Just like we stuck it to the Irish on Nrw Years day, 1999.

Here we come boys.

Excrete the fine Atlanta dining waste and take Kentucky to frying pan, send them to the fast food restaurant to cook up for the Kentucky faithful.

We're gonna do it.

8-5 at worst, but 9-4 sounds more likely.

What is this faggotry? Why would you take the team to Bones and Chops in the same night? How do you run up a 1K/person bill?

How about you just give me 20 swimming TMI wings from JR Crickets and a large, steaming cup of shut the öööö up!

I could make more sense black-out drunk with an 8-ball chaser.
 
I like a good story as much as the next guy... but you lost some credibility when you said Col Sanders was a billionaire. All the rest was completely believable.
 
What does it mean to borrow 87 dollars against a 105 dollar check?
I'd guess he couldn't cash it right away, so someone loaned him $87 for it. If he defaults on the loan, they get the $105.
 
You took them to the frying pan.

Let the grade D meat be served on a frying pan, sizzling and slicing and dicing for the largest donors of the Kentucky faithful.

Here we came boys.

9 wins , a gator bowl victory, first since New Year's Day 1999, those pre 9.11 glory days, time to take the team out to Buckhead, celebrate this one for life.

Wealth and Stealth. Kentucky frying pan grinder po dunk dirka dork.

What happened to the new Bob Benson thread? It disappeared
 
Small fryers with 11 herbs and spices, fried in a pressure cooker; that's the colonel's original recipe with white pepper being the secret ingredient.

Dinner rolls are better than biscuits.

Mashed potatoes and gravy.

Cole slaw.
