A very toxic industry to be in, I used to be an engineer for a company that looked after slot machines here in the UK. High Street betting shops would regularly get smashed up by people after they lost all their money, but they would just pay us to repair them and let them back a few weeks later because they knew they’d be back. Completely taking advantage of people with a very real problem.

Quitting gambling and smoking is easy. I’ve done it several times already.

As Kenny Rogers said, you got to know when to hold em and so on. I haven’t finished the song yet, but I’m pretty sure it supports this guy.

OP doesn’t know when to walk away, or when to run. He probably doesn’t even know when to fold.

Kenny Rogers makes some fine fried chicken, though it doesn’t compare to the actual original recipe that The Colonel sold, which is possible to recreate, but no longer possible to buy, prepared for consumption, ever since KFC took over the store in Corbin.

I found this version of the recipe online

Does this seem like the real deal, or is it more of a recreation of the corporate recipe?

I haven’t really tried to make it myself, ever (I don’t even own a regular deep fryer, let alone a pressure fryer)

The only real deal I know of is this: https://marionkay.com/product/chicken-seasoning-99-x/

That is, apparently, the actual original recipe that Sanders made.
