Kicking ass and taking names. (blogger idol round 2)

Share
First of all, I know I've been absent as of late. Thanks for all of your emails asking if I've died or something. I do appreciate your concern for my well being, and I want to let you know that I am still alive and kickin' for the most part. Life has sort of gotten in the way, so blogging has taken a back seat. I'm sure you all understand.

However, I do want to take the time to thank you all for voting for me in Blogger Idol round one. I didn't see where the final numbers stood when Knucklehead closed the poles, (I said poles....) but I'm fairly certain that we kicked ass! So thanks. Now I don't have to off myself, and I'm one step closer to posting a picture of myself naked with Jeffery Donovan.. and fresh produce.. with my three legged dog named tripod. So exciting!

Anyway, the rules for Blogger Idol round 2 state that I must tell a true story from my childhood. So here goes nothing.

I now present you with the time I kicked my best friend's ass over a free chick-fil-A nugget sample in the middle of the mall.

Before I begin, there are three things you need to know right off the bat.

1. Parental guidance back in the 80's isn't what it is today.

2. I was pretty bad ass even as a youngster if I do say so myself.

3. I'll cut a bitch over some food. The fact that you're my BFF means nothing to me.

Now then. On to the story. . .

I grew up in a very small town. We're talking grand total population somewhere around 3,000. Obviously there was no Mall in the little town that I grew up in, so that meant that shopping excursions had us driving 40 miles away to the lovely town of Abilene Texas.

I would like to say that mall outings with my Mother were an enjoyable experience, but the honest truth is that they weren't. I've always thought that woman should work closely with military operations giving them hints on how to evade the enemy, because once she was let loose in a mall, she hauled ass, and was never. to. be. seen. AGAIN!

Now roaming the mall alone with a friend (Nakia... remember her? Scroll down a 2 posts and you'll see her deep throating a corn cob) as a youngster wasn't exactly a bad thing from my perspective at the time. However, 5 dollars will only last you so long at the arcade. Not only that, hunger eventually sets in after like 14 hours. So what do you do for food when you have no money because you spent it all kicking ass playing Mrs. Pac-man and Galaga, and your Mother is no where to be found? Call CPS? Yeah, probably, but that's not what we did.

We roamed the food court for samples, of course.

Pass after pass was made in front of Chick-fil-A, getting one nugget of delicious juicy chicken goodness at a time. Every now and then Nakia would go up and take one for the team by grabbing two at a time, and then I would do a similar maneuver the next time. We eventually hid around the corner waiting patiently for the changing of the chick-fil-A sample guards before we attempted to get more. This was only because the bitch handing them out began rolling her eyes at us, and we were afraid that the gig was up.

And it was.

After much discussion on who was going to go up for the final grab, we decided that Nakia had the better rapport with the sample Nazi. We also decided that she would get one more round for the both of us. Just one more and then we would be done. It was a done deal. We figured that the extra caloric intake would be able to sustain us for the continued long trek through the mall in attempt to find my mother one last time.

So Nakia did her job, but she came back with only ONE chicken nugget.

"Where's MINE??" I asked with nothing but attitude.

"There was only one more left! I got it, so it's mine!" she said matter-of -factly, holding the chicken nugget up to her mouth.

Now I'm not quite sure what happened after that since it was all a blur. However, I do know that rage took over and before I knew it we were in the middle of the food court, on the floor, literally fighting over a fucking chicken nugget. This is proof that starvation will do crazy things to a person.

After all was said and done, and the crowd around us cleared, the chicken nugget was found somehow dangling precariously from Nakia's tacky ass 80's earrings. We both had a good laugh over it, and then spilt the chicken nugget anyway, because that's what good friends do.

We are still the best of friends to this day, but even now, she knows not to mess with my food.


Now PLEASE go on over to Knucklehead's blog and vote for your favorite post. (me) I can't do this without YOU!!

I am strangely mesmerized by the tongue?? It does not take a lot to distract me haha!

Mike said...

I noticed the tougue also. It must be something in our jeans.

Mama Wheaton said...

Ok so it is an interseting tongue, get over it! Can you be bribed with food?

Scott Oglesby said...

Damn, I freaking knew that I should have gone to a tiny town in Texas (or Nevada, for some reason(?) ) to find my future wife. I always knew that there would be no competition, tons of hot girls who weren’t allowed to dance (so I could show them how!) filled with innocent but lustful curiosity. Damn.

A freaking chicken nugget? Wow, weren’t you like a cheerleader? How did that shit go over with the squad? I’ll give you this; you are indeed a Bad Mother Fucker! Is that was your purse has printed on it? Ooooh, one more; what were you guys wearing? Ok, enough questions out of me. I’ll vote for you as soon as I wake up tomorrow. I’ll vote for you twice if you give me your fries!

Jaime said...

a chicken nugget? if you were going to kick ass over food, shouldn't it have been ice cream or a roli boli or something?

Unfinished Rambler said...

I agree with all of the comments thus far. Tongue - D-amn! and one freaking nugget...wait, this wasn't even a McDonald's french fry? The F? :)

Southern Sage said...

Dang Thats a hot chick fillet grubin chick right there! And she can DT a corn cob?
Hit me with her digits!

I think we kicked ass last week, the last time I checked it wasn't very close.


Good luck!

Lucas said...

You were gone?

Candice said...

Otin- I'm shocked. ;)

Mike- See above comment.

Mama Wheaton- Most definitely!

Scott- Texas. :) And no, I wasn't a cheerleader. That required too much leg spreading for my taste.

By the way, the fries are all yours!

Jaime- If they were giving away free ice cream samples, I would have totally kicked her ass over that as well. Unfortunately chicken nuggets were the only free food we could get our hands on at the time.

Unfinished Rambler- McDonalds is disgusting!

Southern Sage- Her digits are 867-5309. ;)

Lucas- That's what I was told.

Eva Gallant said...

Wacky!

Shieldmaiden96 said...

Chik-Fil-A nuggets aren't even all that big. Jeez.

They are worth fighting over, though.

Reading your mall story caused a sudden memory of my own Saturdays, buying the latest Bruce Springsteen tape at Record Bar and watching as they stuck that one year warranty sticker inside the little tape fold-out.

linlah said...

That was a battle if the nugget ended up in an earring.

Secretia said...

That was like the mama bird defending the nest of nuggets.

pegzhere said...

OK I voted. I also tried to read the others so I could be fair but I couldn't get through a bunch of them. One just took too damn long to load. Can;t be in an Idol contest and have your page take a long time. I was even starting to get worried about you being MIA. Was it a ploy to get your readers so pumped for the next entry? (or is everything really ok??)

Brandy said...

Any girl that would down & dirty for food deserves my vote! Especially Chik-Fil-A nuggets...those are damn good nuggets.

Candice said...

Eva- I agree. I wasn't known for my common sense as a child. Or now for that matter...

Shieldmaiden- With chick-fil-A nuggets it's not the size that counts. Those damn things were awesome! Not to mention I was starving since my Mom left me to my own devices in the freaking Mall all day. A bitch had to do what a bitch had to do.

Linlah- It was almost like WWE, but with stupid kids.

Secretia- Damn straight.

Peg- No, it was no ploy. Although I may have to give that a try if I make it to round 3. ;)

Brandy- Amen sister! They are the best nuggets ever! Thanks for the vote.

PorkStar said...

I'm voting for you regardless if your posts suck big hairy balls, just because Courtney said you were a hot ass and to do as she says, so of course I do... as she says.

However your posts haven't sucked at all, if anything they make me laugh quite outloud.

I'm telling you, dude, not just ya'll chics turn demon when it comes to food, us men do too, well, we turn to whiney bitches when we hungry.

Julie said...

I've tackled a friend over less than a chicken nugget. But usually it involved alcohol, me thinking I was ten feet tall, and tripping over a shoelace.

Malisa said...

Okay...I was a West Texas girl too! Tell me which is your hometown...Sweetwater, Cross Plains, Cisco,Winters...come on, give it up!

Matt-Man said...

I went over and voted for you...mainly because of the picture. Yeah, I'm shallow like that. Cheers Candice!!

Candice said...

PorkStar- It's a good thing you listen to Courtney. She'll kick your ass for sure. ;)Thanks for the vote!

Julie- I'm usually a lover and not a fighter. However, food was involved. That's totally understandable, right?

Malisa- Hamlin. Home of the Pied Pipers. I shit you not.

Matt- Hey, whatever works! ;)

Tricia said...

too funny

Beth said...

So this was the event that led you to mud wrestling. I always wondered...

Ben said...

So, does Nakia see it the same way? As is you kicked her ass? Also, it's good to know that if you evermet me and wanted to kick my ass, I could just whip a chick-fil-a nugget in the other direction and book it.

Donna said...

I tried to nominate you for a bloggie, but dang it, they make it so complicated I couldn't get it done. Maybe some of your other readers will figure it out and nominate you so I can vote for you.

MikeWJ at Too Many Mornings said...

Great story. Not as good as mine, of course, but your photos are better, for sure. ;)

screwdestiny said...

Lol! I may very well vote for you this week. That was a dang funny story. And I liked the photo.

Mr. Knucklehead said...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Candice, you are one scary bitch.

foxy said...

I'm the same way about my refried beans. Jason knows that he will get stabbed with a fork if he decides to go for a sample without asking.

Cassie said...

Linked to your post on my blog. Hopefully that will get you at least one more vote :o) Funny post though. Good Luck. You were ahead when I voted.

Mama Kat said...

That's a worthy fight. You have to stand up for what you believe in...some people believe in human rights and what not, which is great.

You believe in chicken nuggets...and that's great too. ;) Love this story! And I'm glad your not dead.

SupaCoo said...

Not just any nugget, but a chick-fil-fuckin-a nugget! I would pop a cap in my bff for one of them.

kys said...

I'll vote for you cuz I'm scairt.

Candice said...

Tricia- :)

Beth- How'd you guess?

Ben- She probably thinks that she kicked my ass, but we both know the real truth.

Donna- I don't even know what a bloggie is, but thanks for trying.

Mike- Touche. ;)

Screwdestiny- Thanks!

Mr. Knucklehead- Just give me my title right now ahole! ;)

Foxy- Mmm, I like those too!

Cassie- Thanks a bunch.

Mama Kat- Oddly enough I took care of a pt that owned a chick-fil-a today. I should have told him the story. Maybe I could have gotten some free nuggets.

SupaCoo- I know! They are great! I don't understand the people who choose to eat the mystery meat that McDonalds offers. That stuff is nasty!

kys- I can see why. I'm pretty scary.

Nakia said...

Ok all of you loyal Candice followers. I have to admit...Candice and I have been BFF since second grade. There are a lot of stories that have to stay on the down low (so we can both avoid jail time).

I am a very quiet and shy person by nature. I HAVE TO SET THIS STORY STRAIGHT. Yes we spent many weekends unattended at the Abilene Mall with NO MONEY. Candice referred to it as the food court...if you call only one resturant a food court go ahead. Remember this is Abilene.

Candice told the story very well until the fight. Yes there was only one nugget. A fat juicy nugget. I would call the fight a draw (Don't let her fool you, she is tough, but not a bad ass) It wasn't our first or last time in the ring.

We did draw a crowd and why no one tried to separate us is beyond me. We did bump around a table and a couple of chairs as we cleaned the floor. When all was said and done. We were on the tree grill. As we peeled ourselves off the floor half of the nugget was caught in my earring, while the best chunck had fallin in between the grate I know because I was face down in the grate. So not only did we make-up and split half of half of a chicken nugget, but I lied about there only being one nugget left on the nugget tray. I was just being stingy.

Danielle said...

Oh, I hope that the 2 of you have never had to fight over a guy! That would be ugly. By the way, it's once again in the bag for you. 82% so far! Whoot

Candice said...

Nakia- Quiet and shy huh? Okay...

BTW, I totally forgot about the tree grate thing. I also hate you for lying about the extra chicken nugget. I now owe you an ass whooping next time I see you. Prepare yourself.

Danielle- Ha!! That's one thing we never fought over.
