kleenexwomanI had a dream last night where I was working at a Taco Bell, and KFC called the restaurant to offer me a new job. I had to take my cell phone outside during my shift to answer their impromptu interview, which mostly consisted of me answering questions about the history of KFC.
"Who was Colonel Sanders?" the KFC interviewer asked, and I told her that Colonel Sanders was a rich white dude who "invented" the eleven secret herbs and spices mix by stealing it from one of his slaves. The interviewer was quiet for a second, and then she told me that Colonel Sanders treated his slaves really well, and that they only worked nine hours a day and had lunch breaks and health benefits, just like the workers at KFC. I disagreed.
I don't think I got the job. At least, I don't think I would have if I hadn't woken up.

In other news, this made me laugh and I think it's very astute (and the Stephanie Coontz book mentioned in the post is definitely worth picking up). What do you think was the best time in American history? I'd personally say the 1990s, but then I was also a kid then, and all I knew was that having Tamagotchis was awesome and that Nickelodeon had some really good cartoons. I'm actually looking forward to the 2030s, which is when we finally get flying cars that run on cold fusion, sex-change operations are as affordable and easy as getting your hair dyed, and you can put an MP3 player in your brain.
