I had Popeyes, the fried chicken I was raised on. The first time I had KFC was in 6th grade. The first time I had Popeyes was when I was 4. So yeah, ...

I just got a call from one of my best friends, Danny Yoon, who is stationed in Afghanistan right now. If I remember correctly, the month after he arrived in Afghanistan (August) was the deadliest month there ever at the time.
