Bobby Jackson is back in purple and black

Welcome back, 2-4!

It’s official! Bobby Jackson is back in Sactown. He was officially traded (there have been weeks of speculation) today from the Houston Rockets for Ron Artest, who we tots didn’t need anyway. Bobby was with Sacramento from 2000-2005. He’s certainly the most adorable Kings player EVER. They may not be the greatest team in the league, but at least the games just got more interesting.

Delicious or disgusting? You be the judge.

A recent after-hours work meeting made a drastic turn toward the merits of fair food. Sure, we’re all familiar with these waistline-expanding treats (deep-fried Twinkies, Snickers and Oreos, anyone?). But my pal Matt mentioned one such concoction the likes of which I have never seen: the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich. It comprises a fried chicken patty topped with Swiss cheese and nestled between a “bun” made out of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut. As if that’s not enough, it then is served with a side of Smucker’s honey. Even Matt, whose fondness of Taco Bell shows that he’s able to eat just about anything, did not care for the sandwich … and I’d have to agree that it sounds pretty disgusting. However, I am always impressed by the ingenuity of fair food and applaud the creativity behind the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich. Keep the new fair fare coming!
