 You get a total of five hours. This means you get the chance to prepare your dish three times. Your best effort goes to the judges. In my case, I'm still puzzling over how we'll handle the fact that I wanted the chicken served hot over the cold greens. Do I get to tell the judges to throw the chicken back into the microwave if the salad sits around long enough for the chicken to cool?

 To the goggling unbeliever Texans say - as people always say about their mangier dishes - "but it's just like chicken, only tenderer." Rattlesnake is, in fact, just like chicken, only tougher.
  Alistair Cooke

 The Republic of China is a sovereign state, a constructive member of the international community and a lively democratic society, ... Taiwan's admission to the U.N. will be conducive to peace, prosperity and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

 No one has identified the head of the dead body. We are trying to inform the public to verify the head of the dead body.

 There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.
  Thomas Jefferson

 If, for some reason, these guys don't come to work tomorrow, then we're not moving chickens. The next time you go to Bojangles', you're going to pay more for your chicken. Chicken farmers would suffer because they couldn't get their chicken to market. It would be devastating to our industry.

 We still use the original recipe, which remains secret. But I'll say that our breading gives the chicken its distinct taste. Unlike most places, we also cook the chicken in lard, and we only use fresh chicken - not frozen pieces.

 People like me who believe the left can be a moderate force—we have failed. We are stuck in the medieval notion that there is an aristocracy and a people, and the people want a piece of what the aristocracy had—a life subsidized enough to have a minimum of work and a maximum of pleasure.

 It has a reputation as a very lively place with good, lively students.
  David Brooks

 It is better to be the head of chicken than the rear end of an ox

 Talking like a chicken without a head.

 You saw me out there today, ... I was like a chicken with my head cut off.

 In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.
