Are you SURE you had chicken? The diner I used to frequent was right next to a pet store, and I'm not saying for sure that anything necessarily improper went down, but at bar time you could about serve anything.

I've eaten "chicken on a stick" and have no idea what part of a chicken that strip of meat could come from.

From another thread:

At 53 years of age, I learned that Chic's "Good Times" and Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" use the same bass line.
Those songs have been around for 78% of my life and I just learned that today.
