FWIW, the big chicken is a KFC with a big frightening looking blocky chicken head with a beak that opens and shuts built into the structure.
On roadtrips, I used to make a point of taking pictures of anything that claimed to be "the world's biggest" whatever that was on the side of the road. Like Spartanburg, SC's peach tower. The sillier the better. That stuff sincerely amused me.
The peachoid is in Gaffney, SC - not Spartanburg - as Gaffney-ites/Gaffnians are quick to point out.

Check out the movie Orphan from 2009. Very, very creepy.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I just read the article. It's so confusing that I'm wondering if ai wrote that shit.
The answer to your question...no, I don't think so.
Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
My old boss adopted two African American kids. His wife couldn't get pregnant. He's middle eastern and seemed to be doing it right and then he suddenly became a right wing xtian. It was a weird and sudden transformation. His wife was Jewish too and she converted. Just weird. He did seem to really love the kids though so I guess that is the important thing

They have an outdoor model train exhibit for kids in our Botanic garden that has little models of US landmarks. They recently added a bunch of random roadside attractions to it, including the Gaffney peach.

Orphan preceded it if the date of the story is correct.

The real takeaway, I think, is that all people with dwarfism are sociopaths and should be hunted down so that normies can live safely.Mimi wrote: ↑27 May 2023, 11:59amThey talk about the above story in here: https://screenrant.com/orphan-true-stor ... explained/
