I kept expecting him to bring up the rumors circulating around that the colonel actually hated what KFC wound up becoming - this would support the idea that he would give good luck to the team for throwing his statue in the river, a way of separating him from the company that would go on to make food he considered to be sub-par. Actually, if he was able to inflict a curse on anyone, it seems like he'd be more likely to curse the restaurants themselves than an underdog baseball team. He'd be like a Ghost Chef Ramsay, the only way to appease his curse would be to cook the food right lol

Honestly, I’d like to think that Sanders would love that he has statues up in front of his restaurants, and is dressed up. I imagine he would love that people see him as a Santa figure, that’s touched the hearts, and fed the mouths, of millions. I dunno, I imagine that as much as he is a hardass, he is a softie about the public, especially the children who love his costumes and statues. Idea: the annual Mini Colonel celebration. Have kids and sports fans make little Colonel statues, to show their glee about their favorite sports teams, and rebuke the superstition of curses, as well as making it a symbol of perseverance. I doubt Colonel Sanders, a man who fought tooth and nail to get where he was, would believe in curses or higher powers taking you down. Not saying make a Kentucky Fried Cult, but I imagine kids being able to make a little statue, put him in any costumes they want, to support their favorite sports teams? It might make a good morale boost.

When my husband studied in Japan, he said they treat Christmas kinda how we treat Valentine's day.

2:20 here in NC our charismas dinners included turkey, but in quesadilla form. I think I had a traditional turkey dinner once, but that was when visiting relatives in VA. Other than that the only other odd meal came from when I had visited relatives in Louisiana. There Christmas dinner included rabbit, alligator, shrimp, turducken, a lot of home made sweets, and turtle soup. Anyway... I know Japan is also big on French fries. Or at least they used to be. Some families would have a whole meal of just fries.

Dang Matt, where I'm from just about everyone with a family has a "traditional " turkey or chicken Christmas dinner. It's super common. My family will mix it up occasionally but we almost always cook a bird with all the fixins. Anyway I was shocked to hear you've basically never done that, and even more shocked when you said most people eat perogies or some other basic food. I really assumed that people all over North America usually ate a roast poultry dinner for Christmas. You live you learn.
