Nebraska man pleads with city council to stop using term 'boneless chicken wings'
Fox News ^ | 9/03/20 | Alexandra Deabler

Some topics are just too important to go unsaid – despite how controversial they are.

A Lincoln, Nebraska, man has gone viral after making a very passionate plea for something that has been on everyone’s mind since the invention of finger foods: boneless chicken wings.

More specifically, the term “boneless chicken wings” and what it really means.

Adler Christensen arrived at a Lincoln City Council meeting and took the floor to demand we do away with the verbiage “from our menus and from our hearts” in place of something more accurate, such as “buffalo-style chicken tenders,” “saucy nuggs” or even “trash,” the man offers.

“Lincoln has the opportunity to be a social leader in this county,” Christensen began. “We have been casually ignoring a problem that has gotten so out of control that our children are throwing around names and words without even understanding their true meaning.”

“We’ve been living a lie for far too long, and we know it because we feel it in our bones,” Christensen concluded.

And his dog Catfish.
A national tressure.
Gone, but not forgotten.

great books like “don’t bend over in the garden granny them taters got eyes” and “elvis is dead and I don’t feel to good myself” or “if love was oil, I’d be a quart low”

They are chicken breast meat covered with Buffalo sauce.
A more apt description would be Buffalo chicken titties.

YES!
And not just humor, the first thing I think of is a column he wrote about Catfish swimming way out in a pond, and worrying about his return from a long swim.
I do not believe it was Catfish he was discussing but his own journey through his perilous health conditions.

Not many newspaper columns I remember after all the years.

I did not mean to hijack this thread but the world needs humor now more than ever.

"It is posted. I like the one where the frog has one leg cut off, and shoots the chef coming back in for the second one."

And, how about the one where the frog is legless in a wheelchair looking up at the diners who are eating...yep, frog legs! Man! That Gary Larson was sick! HeeeHeeHeee

I like the way this guy thinks ... or at least I did until I realized his comment wasn’t a defense of Nancy Pelosi.
