The devil is a bunch of chickens!

...they're on sale at work and we literally can't cook them fast enough. I even had one lady ask me to give her one before they were done, saying she'll "put it in her oven" at home. Despite the awkwardness of removing one chicken and putting the rest back in to cook, I can't legally sell them until they're at least 180 degrees inside. When I told her this, she got all huffy and said "Well, Safeway'll give me one if I ask." Things I wanted to say but didn't: "Well, we're not Safeway." "So why aren't you at Safeway?" "Yeah, and Safeway can get sued for doing it, too." We seem to get compared to Safeway a lot. Maybe because they're right down the street.

Edit: The subject line comes from a "Speak of the devil" comment a coworker made when the oven timer when off, just in case anyone was wondering.

I posted my naturalistic Inuyasha picture on Elfwood, and got 3 comments almost right away (which was, like, wow o_o).
First comment: this really does creep me out. its cool. but it creeps me out. I always thought of inuyasha as a pretty boy with an attitude..but..wow..hes demonic here O_O

Second comment: Stupid fangirl.. (comment above) You shouldn't go by what characters look like in Anime form. I reassure you, you'll never find anyone who looks like a "pretty anime" boy. So keep dreamin, ya fool. Anyways, though I despise Inuyasha, the expression on his face is a rather good one, looks hard to do. (least for me) I Also like his skin tone, and the dark eyebrows, I dunno, it just has more character than a 'tarded anime boy.. who looks like every other anime boy, give or take long hair.

Stuff I wanted to say but didn't: "This is an anime character, so whouldn't it make sense to go by what the character looks like in Anime form? Of course a naturalistic rendering is going to look different - real people aren't cartoons - but a "pretty anime boy" should still be a "pretty boy." The dark eyebrows are a trait taken straight from his anime design, by the way."

Instead I said something much more mild and non-snarky. I mean, as stupid comments go, that one wasn't too bad. He (she?) didn't out-and-out flame and actualy had nice comments to make if you weed out the name-calling.
Third comment started with Uh.. excuse you 'Person who Can't Draw'... You have no right calling anyone stupid or a fool for having an opinion about something.. you may disagree with them but to call them names was very immature and rude of you.
Which was nice that someone else called him (her?) on it.
