My mom used to make carrot raisin salad as a kid. Didn't like it then but I think I might like it now if I tried it. Didn't realize it was at Chiks-ta-lay.

Queue the Bart Simpson pic.

TheNext: Queue the Bart Simpson pic.

beat me to the sentiment...

If they were old enough.

I would have made the kids work in one of the Chick-Fil-A restaurants for an amount of time.

Like a month.

Kind of like community service.

Bye.

...but it would be their pleasure to serve you.

I'll bet it was the cows that made her turn into a vandal.

[A Centurion catches Brian writing graffiti on the palace wall.]
Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go the house?
Brian: It says, "Romans go home."
Centurion: No, it doesn't! What's the Latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on !
Brian: Er, "Romanus"!
Centurion: Goes like?
Brian: Annus.
Centurion: Vocative plural of "Annus" is?
Brian: Er, "Anni"!
Centurion: "Romani"... [writes "Romani" over Brian's graffiti] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"?
Brian: "Go".
Centurion: Conjugate the verb, "to go"!
Brian: Er, "Ire." Er, "eo," "is," "it," "imus," "itis," "eunt."
Centurion: So, "eunt" is... ?
Brian Third person plural present indicative, "they go".
Centurion: But, "Romans go home" is an order. So you must use... ? [twists Brian's ear]
Brian: Aaagh! Imperative!
Centurion: Which is...?
Brian: Aaaaagh! Er, er... "i", "i"!
Centurion: How many Romans?
Brian: Aaaaagh! Plural, plural... er, "ite"!
Centurion: "Ite"... [writes "ite" on wall] "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home" is motion toward, isn't it?
Brian: Dative! [Centurion pulls out gladius and holds it against Brian's throat] Aaagh! Not the dative, not the dative! Er, er... accusative, accusative, "ad domum", sir, "ad domum"!
Centurion: Except "Domus" takes the...?
Brian: The locative, sir!
Centurion: Which is...?
Brian: "Domum"!
Centurion: "Domum"... [writes "Domum" on wall] Um. Understand? Now, write it out a hundred times.
Brian: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
Centurion: Hail Caesar! And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

I interviewed for a job there in high school and was thoroughly creeped out by the Christian day-camp mentality, the closing on Sundays, etc.- it was fine, just not for me.

This is kind of a nice thing the old man has done, after these little twats wrecked his house for no reason. I thought maybe they had TP'd his house or something or tagged it with cow graffiti. Instead they broke in and trashed the place (fire extinguishers, eggs, etc.). I was an idiot as a teenager, but even I would have never done that to someone.

New Smyrna Beach police told the Daytona Beach News-Journal the preteens broke into Cathy's home two weeks ago and sprayed fire extinguishers, threw eggs and left water running in the kitchen.

Their fathers are wanted for questioning:

Preteens? WTF is wrong with kids these days?

I like carrot raisin salad.

The Pledge of Allegiance does not end with 'Hail Satan!'
Nobody likes sunburn slappers.

"Bart Bucks" are not legal tender.
Goldfish don't bounce.
No one is interested in my underpants.
Ralph won't "morph" if you squeeze him hard enough.
I will not dissect things unless instructed.
A fire drill does not demand a fire.
Pork is not a verb.
The Giving Tree is not a chump.
Beer in a milk carton is not milk.
The capital of Montana is not "Hannah".

These girls are pretty damn lucky. I had to do this occasionally, and I didn't even have the luxury of doing $30,000 worth of damage to earn it.

The 87-year-old Cathy -- who founded the fast food chain known for its cow billboards -- said he didn't want to prosecute the girls and leave them with a criminal record.

Unlike 87-year-old Cathy most minors know they have a free pass to cause trouble because a juvinile record will not follow them into adulthood.

I must admit, I like this guy for not wanting to prosecute little girls.

/eet mor chikn!

I kind of thought the apology writing would have been meted out by the parents already, and the kids might do something more concrete as a payment...like community service. Really gross community service. Something linked to cleaning up at the animal shelter, or changing bedpans at the hospital.

But then, I guess if they had involved, responsible parents they might not have been such idiots in the first place. Sigh.

Subby, try the Southwest Chargrilled Salad. You can hate on CFA all you want, but the employees are the most courteous food service employees alive & the food is top notch

I, ah, just posted this in another thread.

But, hey, there's a chicken trifecta in play, so fark it. Here goes again.

*Waits for bacon with his eggs*

/We have a fire extinguisher & water in case you make a fire

must read a good book.

lol.

I hope they use that punishment pen from Harry Potter.

Oh, wait...this is Chick-fil-A. That would be witchcraft.

I think writing should be encouraged in youth and not used as a punishment

i love seeing something on reddit 3 days earlier than fark. its like owning a time machine

In 7th grade I was caught chewing gum in English class. The teacher made it very clear at the beginning of the semester that he would not tolerate gum in his classroom. My previous class allowed gum; I forgot to spit it out. Here I sit, front and center chomping away like a cow. He looked at me in disbelief, his mouth agape. "Mr. WØNKA, (he called all the students by their last names) what is my policy for gum?" I pooped my pants a little. EVEYONE knew that you had to write sentences. It was SOP in his class.

"I will not chew or chaw gum in Mr. Peltzman's class, room 113 of Nicollet Junior High School, Burnsville, Minnesota."
Abbreviations were not allowed and 1000 sentences were due in 2 weeks.

Oh ya. He had a rubber chicken on his desk named Killer. He was a very strange little man.

no hero tag?

30K in damages + breaking & entering, and it was a famous rich person!??!

They would've been in juvi for awhile at the very least.

Those kids were douchebags, but I mean, they are kids. Destruction of property is pretty low on the terms of violent crimes. Had they raped, murdered, or severely assaulted someone thats a different story.

Ugh, the same thing happened to me when I was in Jr. High in 1998. I was chewing gum and forgot, and was caught. Except if we were caught we didn't get sentences, we had to write out the entire declaration of independence. I don't know how long that is but I know when I was in 8th grade it seemed like the most torturous assignment ever.

Also, I've never in my life heard of carrot and raisin salad.

No pics of the perps? :(

There is a hot boy that works at my local Chick-fil-a that I want to boink.

Carrot & Raisin Salad is the bomb.
/reminds me, I gotta call my mom...

They could make them work at Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday.

Another requirement is that they must read a good book.

He sounds like a cool guy, akshully. More than likely when the girls look back on this from adulthood, they'll appreciate it.

What made them break in in the first place? Vegan morons? Lack of a good hamburger made them lightheaded?

So... why did they target his house? Were they named Suzie and Jane McDonald's? I mean, seriously. The guy is 87 and I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like to 'Eet More Chiken'. When I go 'ashore', I'm all about filling up on their nuggets and lemonade.

/is waiting patiently for a Chick-Fil-A in the 50th state.

Truett Cathy has always come off as a very friendly and generous person. One of the few rich businessmen who I respect. Where was the Hero tag on this?

Chik-Fil-A always has the best coupons and promo campaigns. I always get at least two free meals there a year. Last year for the chicken bowl (or w/e the college football game is called) the first 100,000 people to enter online got a free meal voucher and a Chik-Fil-A gift card. It was either preloaded with $0 or $100. Can only activate it in the store. Really smart marketing campaign if you ask me.

/Wasn't one of the 1,000 winners

Leave it to a city without a Chick-Fil-A to report on a marginally related story.

This supposedly comes from a former Chick-Fil-A employee.

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich

3 cups Peanut oil
1 Egg
1 cup Milk
1 cup Flour
2 1/2 tsp. Powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. Pepper
2 Tbs. Salt
2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
4 Plain hamburger buns
2 Tbs. Melted butter
8 Dill pickle slices

1. Mix together the egg and milk. Place the fillets in this mixture, and let sit for at least an hour.
2. While the breasts are sitting, mix together the Flour, Sugar, Pepper, and Salt.
3. Once the sitting is done, dredge in the flour. (For ourselves and our favorite customers, after the first dredging, we would put them back in the milk bath for a few seconds, and re-dredge! This is not company policy, however!)
4. Place the Peanut oil in a deep fat fryer, and bring up to a high heat. Once up to 375 F., gently drop into the oil, and let cook until golden brown. (This is for those of us who do not have a pressure cooker. If you do, follow the note below!)

Note: Chick-Fil-A actually uses a Pressure Fryer to cook the fillets in. If you have one, use the peanut oil according to the instructions for frying in it. Desired heat is 400 F. Once steam starts shooting through, cook for about 4 Minutes. Do not try this with a regular pressure cooker, only one that's made for use as a pressure fryer.

Those girls were luckier than they deserve.

I have a teen and 2 preteens.. and if they pull something as stupid as that then turning off the TV and reading a good book would be the least of their worries. (That's what they do on school nights anyway.. well.. read.. I won't say it's "good". They are not fond of Shakespeare. But I don't care as long as they read.)

Honestly, I'd have a cow...

/LOVES Chik-fil-a. Good food. Kids like too.
//none up here at all :-(

Chicken Cult.

fat chick with a nose ring? I'll bet 5 internets it's a fat chick with a nose ring

Wow, that's a very kind and decent thing Mr. Cathy has done. If we're gonna bash on hypocritical, hate-filled Christians (and they deserve it, boy howdy), then we should also acknowledge it when a public Christian does something... well, Christian.

Yes, I'm sure she'll feel much better when these people repeat their actions in the future???

As much as I would like to agree with you...

THEY DID $30,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE.

I would have them work till they payed it off.

Preteens who can't drive...likely to live in the neighborhood. Probably some bored, spoiled and entitled little rich biatches.

That damn evil Christian only thinking of the girls future and not wanting them to suffer.

Forgiveness is the process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution

The whole creepy christian cult thing with Chick Fil A bothers me and I refuse to eat there. But the owner guy handled this in a pretty cool way, he could have been a royal dick about it. His punishment sounds better than what the court would have probably done. Yea I'm shocked that a christian actually acted like a christian. Cue outraged fundamentalists attacking they guy for making them look bad.

I think he did a very generous thing. Doesn't matter if he professes Christian beliefs or not, it was good of him to do that. Hopefully the vandals will realize how fortunate they were and swear off of being idiots for the rest of their lives.

/approves and eats at Chick Fil A.
