The KFC in my home town opened circa 1965. It originally featured the full restaurant menu which included Ham & Roast Beef.

Am I the only person who immediately thought of the "Chicken Ball Z" episode of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" when reading this?

besides at least they almost would have make sanders look like master roshi http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/208/0/4/Master_Roshi_2_by_liamgard.png

well either way sure this might be sure go with it as long they don't make yikes like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_Colonel

Probably the most famous KFC Japan mytho is the Curse of the Colonel for Japan's famous lovable losers baseball team Hanshin Tigers, ala the Curse of the Billy Goat (Chicago Cubs).

Kamehameha Fried Chicken

Ok, so that Project A-Ko scene is hilariously brilliant. Is this actually a decent anime series or is that just a great selected moment from it?
