Hahaha that's awesome. It's like the goat-curse thing that the Cubs have...but even crazier...:D

ケンチキ is a really awesome word. I think I'm going to say "Kenchicken" now in English instead of KFC!! xD

Just like the Boston Red Socks curse, who's to say whats real... if they believe it to be true, it will probably be true for them

ahaha.... That is an awesome story, while very un-educational. The quick edu-save at the end with the vocab list at the end was tricky though. We'll never know if the curse is true or false until a group of snooty gaijin scientists go and check that out...

Haha. Poor Colonel. Chucked into the river without a second chance.
I asked my host parents about this and they just gave me weird looks as I tried to explain in my broken Japanese what the hell I was talking about. XDD
That goes to show you what reading tofugu blogs will do to you :P

I bet The Waterboy would have watched out a bit more in Colonel Sanders class if he knew how skilled he was with a blade.

Adam Sandler is lucky he caught him by surprise when he tackled him. haha

I don't think theres any relation but damn that was a great anime, both seasons.

Loved it, it had a creepy element to it, The first episode got creepy pretty fast too, its insane.

Man you never mess with the Colonel. They were just asking for it, the power of the fried chicken is too awesome for them to comprehend. http://www.dannychoo.com/fauna/userimg/large/20...

Just look how badass the Colonel is in that picture, you'd have to be crazy to mess with that.

emiko — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 02:21:44 -0000

it is a good series, it just takes a lot of getting used to . . . it restarts the storyline about four or five times, and you don't truly understand what is going on until the second season

Interesting correlation! I think I saw half an episode of ひぐらしのなく頃に but never finished it for some reason.

omg this is so scary!

i've never heard of it before, but when i saw the article i remebered that in the beginning of 'higurashi no koro ni' (one of the most disturbing anime i've ever watched) had a scene in the town junk yard. in the junk yard was a girl trying to get out a 'cute colonel sanders statue' . . . she asks the boy to help her get it out and shows up later with a huge knige/sithe thing . . . i wonder if this has anything to do with this curse . . .

because afterwards the boy becomes paranoid that his friends are going to kill him and he begins to 'practice his swinging' with and old baseball bat that belonged to one of his friends 'dead' brother . . . soon afterward he killed his friends after being injected with a serum . . . and yes, this story is all about curses

What about Colonel Sanders dressed as a meido? Just recently he donned the black and white dress and apron for Akihabara passersby? He did not get mad and cursed the otaku-kei that put him in that situation?

@Koichi's comment on KFC and rice. I would not have it any other way! Here in the Philippines that is standard fare. We get all KFC meals with rice on tow. I really thought that was normal not until I got to the States as well as one Korean friend reminded me again that even in Korea rice was the staple but they cannot even order rice on KFC.

@kwyjibo
Oooooh nice idea! I mean, the whole "toss[ing] Ronald McDonald into the river" thing. Now, there's a place where he could be useful, at last.
I guess that in poor Colonel's shoes, I'd feel pretty miserable with nothing/no one to kick for revenge. Cursing is good, but having company down there has to make things better somehow. Ranting and raving and cursing is much more satisfying when there's an actual audience.

@Koichi
Nice article! The vocab part is pretty neat too.
