16 minutes long, which I know in internet time is like 5 hours, but this is totally worth it. Funny and informative.

Posted: 12/27/08 at 11:15amI was in Wegmans yesterday, wegmans is an north east grocery chain near my parents. Either way, they have a chinese food bar, "I can't believe it's not Chinese" dubbed by locals. And, I guess to distance themselves from a communist dictator, they have dropped the Tso from the name. Making it General Chicken. Which somehow doesn't make me want to eat it any more than I did before.
I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them
