  1. tic, toc, tic, toc. I’m not coming back to your stream anymore lol

  2. A sign with perspective. Thanks for posting to It’s All Wrong.
    Now that’s funny!

  3. The thought of all those Starbucks and KFC is just depressing. Thank heaven for non-chainstore food and drink I say.

    It’s always the colonels you have to watch out for when there’s a coup 😉

  4. nice play on words there @andrewNZ

  5. Want fries with that coup?

  6. profoundly strange to the western eye

  7. I like their uniforms better than McDonald´s´ and Burger´s. I think the solid color on shirts and ties are cool. And the hats look nice, too. Is this one of those thematic places like Hard Rock, no?

    Colonel´s?

    =S

  8. The honorable and inscrutable colonel!

  9. I have a question…

    Colonel from ‘Colonel’?
    (As ‘CoRonel’ in Spanish)

    or…

    Colonel from ‘Colon’?

    Both cases freak me out anyway.

    Oh well. I’m sure they will put all of our money to good use someday…

  11. No chicken in China is safe from these troops…

  12. "Protect the popcorn chicken! With your lives, if necessary!"

  13. Hey, I am in an interview and just learned that KFC has more stores in China now than the U.S.

  14. Awesome and just a bit scary 🙂
