If only I still had my Snoopy Sno Cone machine...

The nearest 7-11 is 98 MILES AWAY! What if I want a slurpee?! I have to go all the way to freakin' Virginia! What kind of country are we living in?! I discovered this tragic fact a year ago when I had a craving for a Slurpee. A craving that made my stomach tremble and my mouth salivate. And so I made Graci drive me around (at that point I didnt have a car) looking for a Slurpee. At this point we didn't know that the nearest 7-11 was in Virginia, but we did find a cheap imitation slushie (actually it wasn't that cheap. Slurpee's are only 89 cents!). Folks, let me tell you, do NOT settle for Parrot Ice - damn those inferior slushies!

Also, the only Popeyes nearby is in the airport. That means, that to have some scrumptious spicy fried chicken along with their amazing dirty rice and tasty cole slaw, I must first purchase a plane ticket just so I can get through the airport security. It just doesn't make any sense!

Of course, I'm not as bad off as some people. Katie in New Orleans is 414 miles away from the closest 7-11. I shed tears when I heard her sad story.

So all you Triangle folk, if you ever go to the airport, just have some Spicy Chicken in my name. Maybe get some slaw and some dirty rice or some good ol' cajun fries and one of those buttery biscuits on the side. And just wallow in the savory juices of Popeye's fried chicken. It'll definitely be better than anything they serve you on the airplane.
