What the hell is it with employees bathing in restaurant sinks lately? A few months ago it was “Mr. Unstable” who boneheadedly decided to post a video of himself cleansing in the sink at Burger King in Xenia, Ohio: a stunt that got not only himself but a bunch of others fired.

Now it’s the KFC in Anderson, California, where three female employees also took a bath in the sink normally used to clean utensils.

Two of the girls have been fired, and the other has already left on her own. They took several photos of themselves wearing swimsuits while carousing in the steaming-hot water (click here for more ‘cuz many of y’all will no doubt be interested anyway) and then posted them on Myspace in a gallery called “KFC Moments”.

With apologies to Jimmy Webb and the late Richard Harris, but I just couldn’t resist writing this one. Inspired by events of the past few days…

Fighting with the cops
Of Los Angeles P-D
Better put a stop to this right now or
They’ll be spreading from sea to shining sea

It was ten years ago tonight that the 39 members of the “Heaven’s Gate” cult were found dead – after committing mass suicide – in their house in California. That was one weird thing when it happened. In case you were a bit younger: these guys were a UFO cult that believed a flying saucer was accompanying the Hale-Bopp Comet, which was big in the skies that spring. By killing themselves – or “leaving their earthly vehicles” as they put it – the Heaven’s Gate bunch thought they were going to be takign a trip into outer space. Remember when they were showing footage shot inside the place: all those bodies with bags around their heads, wearing the same outfits and all found to be carrying five dollars in quarters (for the “videogames” that were going to be onboard the UFO that was supposed to pick them ...
