When I lived in Kentucky I often satisfied my junk food
jones at the local Sonic Drive-In. There isn’t one all that near where I hang
my hat in Los Angeles so I rarely get the chance these days but since I’m back
home in The Bluegrass State for a short spell I’ve been jumping at any excuse
to quench my Sonic craving. Today they’re offering 79 cent medium slushes.
Heck, yeah! Those things are usually a couple of bucks so you know I’m going to
grab me some discounted sweet icy goodness on a hot and Kentucky-humid summer
day. My wife, AshleyRose Sullivan, came along.
While we were enjoying our delicious discounted drinks we
noticed that a new BBQ restaurant had opened up in my hometown. It’s named for the
biblical prophet Malachi.
Not super-surprising
here in the buckle of the Bible Belt but also probably not the best choice as AR and I
discussed--
“If they wanted to name a smoked barbecue restaurant
after someone from the Bible they
should have called it Shadrach, Meshach & Abendnego’s.”
“I just think it’s a bad idea to name a BBQ joint after a guy whose religion expressly forbids the eating of pork.”
Point AshleyRose. Winner! Maybe you should go read her
blog instead of mine. I'll just stay here and quietly drink my tasty bargain Sonic slush consolation prize.
