Hee hee! The first house I bought was from a little old lady. She explained the bathroom color. "My son asked me what my favorite color was before Christmas. I thought he was buying me a sweater or something, so I said deep red. Then he painted my bathroom." It looked like a bordello.
Hey! We just hit another big round number. This is Neatorama's 90,000th post! I guess we need to have a party when we get to 100,000 (except I'll probably miss it).
It's not that difficult. Historical characters, fictional characters, and animals are fine. Dressing as a stereotypical oppressed minority is not. Native Americans in particular do not like people making a Halloween costume of their ceremonial headdresses and handmade beading, each part of which has a specific meaning and that they still wear to cultural occasions. Every tribe is different, but costumes make them look generic and cheap.
There's a big difference. Christian puritanism means following the rules of your religion and usually expecting everyone else to. Political correctness means to stop and think before you harm someone else's reputation or feelings. Totally awesome.
The spices really don't matter that much. Throw in whatever you have! The Colonel's breakthrough was pressure-frying chicken, which cooks it through before the breading is burned. That's what made fried chicken fast and consistent enough for fast food. If you don't pressure fry chicken, it takes experience to get the technique right. That's why grandma's chicken is the best.
What's more successful is voter suppression.
