Hilarious Chicken Lady eating a Chicken Wing
So as many of you know last weekend was the Mecca of Des Moines wing eating. We here at RofF have been gearing up for this event all summer and when we awoke to a beautiful sunny Saturday we were just pleased as punch….
Despite the bourbon soaked apple induced hangover I was battling (Thanks Goodsons) we knew this was not a day to be a whiny bunch of crybabies. It was a day to be filled with joy. As we previously mentioned we have been half assed trying to get some shirts made, and due to previously mentioned hangover we did not get this accomplished before 5pm…but because we here at RorF are innovators we stepped up our publicity game and wrote on some White Ts with Markers. The shirts were a hit
And we were passing them out to anyone who was willing to wear them. However, not everyone was as keen on promoting us. A few people who refused to wear them
1. Teen Punk Band Modern Day Satire
Excuse: “Wearing that shirt is a corporate sell out”
What the fuck these goons were talking about we have no idea. We are not a corporation. We are non profit grassroots bloggers. Idiot. After listening to the screaming and drum pounding we were glad they were in no way affiliated with our nonexistent corporation
2. Chuck Norris Look Alike
Excuse: “It is too hot to wear sleeves”
Response from our friend Red Planet: “Sir, I am wearing a Jean Jacket and am not hot at all”
Norris Response: “Well if you have an extra large my wife might wear it”
But homeboy saw no problem with wearing a Chicken Hat
People these days...I swear…However, some true fans out there did rock our white Ts and Thanks for that…especially number one fan Chris, Wing Eating Contest Particpant “HORNDOG”, Gossip C, and NaumBomb. And thanks to our friends at Metromix for the free promotional photos…
We also made S/TP participate in the wing eating contest…she sucked…and ate like 3 wings at a leisurely pace while everyone else was straight up caveman style munching. See Norris Below being the perfect example...
Really we just wanted to make sure you all got a good look at Norris
The only female representative…
Now for the wings…
Our homies at Geris brought their own fryer...and were one of the only people to be handing out Ranch dressing, which we regard as a very intregal part of wing munching. The wings were good but not as high of quality as they are when you get them at the original location…which we can’t really hold against them because it is probably hard to make wings in a grass field..but like how the hell are we supposed to know.
Jethros brought a few new flavors to the table, which was appreciated. They also offered the widest variety of saucing options, and they were super meaty and smoked.
Claxtons….TERRIBLE!!! not only were the wings super slimy
but these jokers didn’t even send a representative to the event.
Bostons…We liked the customer service here, and the people working the booth were very enthusiastic...however, not very tasty wings. Once again we think this was sort of hard to judge because these wings were clearly made in a large batch and perhaps just didn’t travel well. We would consider giving them another chance.
One lady was sort of cocky and said “Our Asian Zing is the talk of the town” Which I have no idea what town is talking about Boston’s Asian Zing Wings, but it sure as shit isn’t Des Moines.
Johnny’s, breaded wings...sort of spicy...I personally liked them but they did get some mixed reviews from others, and some of them looked like meatballs…which was weird.
El Bait also breaded…not really much to write home about, we feel about the same for these as we did when we had them at the actual shop.
Buffalo Wild Wings…satisfactory, we do hate on them a little for being a chain, but in reality that isn’t exactly their fault, and the lady that was working there told us some super secret insider information about the new BWW opening on Merle Hay…we can’t tell it to you yet, but look for it in about two weeks. They also had lots of swag like hats and shit which I guess goes along with the territory of being a national chain.
So all in all it was a great success and a totally fun event. It was also great to meet some readers in person.
Oh and due to the fact that we are now sort of blowing up our Mom finally read the blog, and her review of our reviewing skill is as follows
“Well its fine, but I would like to see more pictures and less F words…and put up that picture of Snacks in the chicken hat, people will like that, lots of people love dogs”
So we did…here is our dog, Snacks, wearing a Chicken Hat.
Peace and Chicken Grease Ya’ll…See ya later in the week with our new update…
