Surely one of those two teams is the so-bad-it's-comical Cincinnati Reds?
Nope, but that's the next team the Royals need to catch to move up in the standings.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
OK, not "bad," but cheap, surely.
Yeah, definitely cheap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, my brain just went, chicken fried steak --> Grammy --> keilbasa with potatoes and canned green beans, and now I want that for dinner. Not gonna happen.

The inside of my mouth is really delicate, so there's a really small window between nasty-greasy and cutting me.
I'm the same way, at least with the cutting issue. I don't like certain breads toasted for sandwiches because they'll shred the roof of my mouth.
Rellenos fry-coating should be thin & softish, not crunchy. All the ones I've had have been some weird sort of thin egg batter.

Pull the good pork!
I don't think that would work! I'm sure Alton Brown could explain it better than I can, but I think the kind of pork that would make a perfect pork roast or chop doesn't have the fat and connective tissue that breaks down over long, slow cooking to make the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of shredded pork.

I'm not real top-of-the-mouth sensitive, but I've certainly had some razor-sharp toasted-baguette sandwiches. I mean, what's the point of that?
My brain went rellenos-Mexican food and now I want enchiladas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess if I actually liked chicken-fried anything I wouldn't consider it a poor substitute for pawning your TV. But pulled pork? Whatever pork you have to get to make it is the right pork. Good pork. Cheap or expensive. It's a destination in and of itself.

Hmm. I could have chicken-fried chicken for dinner tonight.

I like chicken-fried chicken, but I've just never seen the appeal to doing it to anything else. That may be because my familiarity with chicken-fried steak comes exclusively from Denny's.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Woohoo! I just got the okay to a) set up a book exchange bookcase in the staff lounge, and b) go shopping at Target to spend the firm's money on the book case.
eta: Going back a little, I would consider learning how to shoot/getting a gun, except for the fact that I am utterly convinced that I would end up hurting myself long before I got good enough to actually hit a target.
