Nyquil Chicken: I'm laughing out loud and I'm also nauseous.

While I totally enjoyed randa’s guest interviews (especially Robert’s and I know she got that picture anyway even if it was on the sly), NyQuil Chicken wins today. I have not laughed so hard in a while. You are a complete nut (before I only thought you a partial nut, like maybe a pecan half)! I can’t bring myself to click on the link to the dog food post!

"The apartment filled with the noxious, sickening odor of chicken and cough syrup." Wow this made me laugh hard. Thank you.

So glad I’m not the only one continually confused by what is and what is not locked up at Wallgreens!

Also: I’ve tried so hard to not know what NyQuil chicken is. Now I know (grrrr) but your post was hilarious so I’m not too mad ;)

Today you managed to BREAK my ability to comment in the little box. One thing after another, each just turning my brain to goo. Will need to unpack this great array of nonsense piece by piece. For starts though, your poor dog Minnie caught in an action photo trying to escape a strangers lap. If you do this AGAIN, bring along some beanie babies for those that need a prop.

Can't imagine why anyone would be hesitant to purchase a pregnancy test from a street hawker-especially after two and a half years of witnessing folks CoVid tested by a wide assortment of fairly shoddy (and often disinterested) looking characters.

Tide ,as street currency, rates up there with honeybuns in prisons (or so I'm told).

My local Walgreens in SW Puerto Rico locks up my favorite island coffee brand, but a bottle of Felipe II and various desirable vineyard delights are out in the open for the taking!

I got 0 right on the locked up pharmacy quiz. It was fun to do but I feel ashamed.

I don’t think the gift cards are activated until they ring you up, so if you shoplift them you just get a little piece of plastic!

"I'm lazy and I don't like to work and I don't make much money." Same, tbh

Is it bad that my first thought about the NyQuil chicken was “the recipe calls for half a bottle of NyQuil? That’s pretty expensive chicken per serving!”? (Just in case anyone needed another reason not to eat it…)

Also, I love Robert’s point about creating yourself and living a fuller life through creating works of art!! Such wisdom.

The eating dog food for a week story is a modern masterpiece. Bravo.

I like the shoplifting quiz! But here's my question: how does one get involved in a toothpaste trafficking ring? A related question: were the batteries I bought for $1 at the corner of Court Street and Joralemon stolen? I'm starting to think they were. And OK, the statute has run, but now I'm worried that I'm part of the problem.

OMG...I just read NyQuil Chicken out loud to my husband on the way home from dinner. Got to the part where you “wove to the stove” and could not go any further from laughing so hard I was afraid I would need those adult diapers (wait...were those behind glass, or not?). But I did manage to finish the story. And now he thinks you’re as awesome as I do.🤣

what do you think people like about you? what makes them want to stay with you?

I'm funny and talkative. I only realized in old age I'm a social phobe who feels an obligation to fill dead air. It works marvelously on first dates and early in relationships; not quite so well, long-term. As for what makes them want to stay? I can't explain that because I wouldn't stay with me. Prolly a combination of things that conspire against leaving and starting over. Laziness may be the answer.

Love the drugstore shoplifter! I'm tempted to say that I might even like it more than the pigeon!!!!!!
