In the New Year

It may be a new year, but the Apocalypse is still overdue.

Outside Truett's Grill - which is apparently a Chik-fil-a with delusions of grandeur in McDonough, Georgia, slightly South of Atlanta - thousands of people came to ring in New Year's Eve. Instead of watching the traditional, giant, Times Square crystal ball, they watched a giant chicken nugget drop into a vat of dipping sauce.

The 6-foot-tall, 800-pound nugget is actually plaster and vat is filled with syrup and food coloring meant to resemble honey mustard, and promptly inspired hack journalists to use the phrase "may have looked good enough to eat".

Other entertainment included a fire-eating magician, bungee jumping, a caricature artist, and musicians.

If this item makes you hungry, you may order online, but I suspect most of our readers are out of the delivery range.
