Right around the week it was scheduled to open, the statue of Moroni atop the eastern spire of San Diego’s Mormon Temple was struck by lightning. Nobody really makes much of that, though. Being the highest, shiniest point of a tall building often provokes such celestial wrath.

30 years ago most of them were in malls. I didn’t see a stand alone chick-a-fil until i moved to knoxville in ’93 and I thought it was odd. these days in Waco there is one of each.

This sucks. I have always hated bigotry, but I really love that chicken!

Your mall rant is funny but irrelevant. I’ve never seen a Chick-fil-A at a mall. They’re full-size fast food restaurants. Certainly, it depends on where you live, but they are not known as a food court chain (like, say, the detestable Sbarro).

As many times as it’s appropriate, I’d imagine. Which, both in this case and in general, number many.

Who knows ? Maybe Perry died of shame. A lifetime of lying and distorting realities as the PR director of a fast-food franchise could do that to a man of morals…

Having never heard him speak, I can give him the benefit of the doubt – As opposed to his boss, who clearly enjoys being an asshole.

It’s an ok substitute but suffers from a couple of problems, almost all due to the way McDonald’s cuts corners everywhere they can. The chicken breast has obviously been injected with liquid to plump it up. It’s way too wet when you bite in to it. Also many of the patties are made up of multiple chicken parts stuck together so it falls apart along lines you didn’t make with your teeth. Lastly the bun tends to be a bit stale though that’s probably location dependent. It’s by no means a terrible sandwich but is noticeably inferior to the one at Chick-fil-a.

I saw the YouTube video for the Chick-fil-gay sandwich and it doesn’t look that hard to make. Probably will be better than McDonald’s so certainly not as quick and easy to obtain.

Learn to make your own. Trust me, I know that sounds like a dismissive answer, but good fried boneless chicken is dead easy, especially if you can spring for a proper modern deep-fryer! We have started having queer-friendly chicken nights since the boycott and it’s been fun!

tl;dr: I am perhaps an old man.

Okay, granted, I get old, I get old, I wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

But the last time I checked, you could only get Chik-fil-A at the mall, somewhere between Cinnabon and Sbarro’s. I suppose it’s possible that sometime between now and the last time I went mall-shopping, Chick-fil-A opened franchises outside malls where people could pick up a sandwich or a bucket of takeout without having to buy overpriced goods at the anchor store or Radio Shack, but when did this happen?

Around here, you can get KFC, Popeyes, and local chicken (buy local chicken), but it’s not like Chik-fil-A is something that regular people are going to eat unless they spend 4-5- hours at an enclosed mall.

Unless I’m wrong, y’all could render Chik-fil-A irrelevant by Not Eating at the Fucking Mall.

I like specialty goods as much as the next guy, but given the choice between an Internet retailer and Spencer Gifts, I’m staying the fuck away from the mall.

You should get the number 5. It already has bacon and cheese.

As somebody whose religious background was probably fairly similar to Dan Cathy’s, this always bothered me about Chick-Fil-A.

Speaking of Chickenfreude, the Chick-fil-A Cows Campaign, with pictures of cows holding signs saying "Eat Mor Chikin", fits right in there.

Yeah – my friend’s freaky parents decided it was a sign from god when the local porn and adult toy shop burned to the ground. His schedule must be backed way up, though, because it took him 20 years to get around to it…

I think Whataburger has a pretty good chicken sandwich too. I’ve never had one because the #1 Whatameal add cheese and bacon is just too tempting. And Whataburger is open 24/7 for all the drunks and shift workers. If you are in the South, you can tell if you are in a safe place if there are more Whataburgers than Chick-Fil-As

I feel absolutely wretched for saying this, but the McDonald’s Southern Chicken Sandwich is a reasonable substitute.

Matthew, Chapter 6, Verse 24:
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

6:1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Their sandwiches have dead animals in them. No thanks.

And lots of people make good fries. For instance, my local Prefab-Irish-Pub not only has good fries, but serves good beer, which I expect Chick-fil-A doesn’t.

they seemed pretty confused with their theophobic non-point…being against some a-holes homophobic stance isn’t being against all religions, or even the religion of the a-holes, or even the a-holes themselves, just against their homophobic stance.

looks like their ridiculous comment was just removed. good riddance.

If you’re near Los Angeles, swing into your local Roscoe’s for some yummy chicken & waffles. I recommend the Carol C Special.

Otherwise… road trip to L.A.!

While not exactly a religious fanatic, my mother has always had the habit, upon viewing some small bit of cosmic justice being visited upon one of her wayward offspring, of saying half-jokingly, “God got ya, didn’t He?”
