So for lunch I had a club sandwich and French onion soup.

Why didn't we back in the day rename the soup to Freedom onion soup?

Because the French smell bad?

Surprising that The FeedLot ™ hasn't put Cracker Barrel out of business.

The new Falcons stadium has a Chick-Fil-A. It isn't open on Sundays.

Unbelievable.
But the stadium will host numerous other non-Sunday events, including five of the eight remaining Atlanta United home games, two college football games over Labor Day weekend (plus the SEC championship game and College Football Playoff title game down the road) and a Garth Brooks concert on Oct. 12, a Thursday.
I counted 10 non-Sunday events: a TNF game, five Atlanta United games, two CFB games, the SEC championship game and a Garth concert. I can respect CFA sticking to its principles, but that seems like a money loser in Year 1.

I think they also have two preseason football games on a Thursday and a Saturday, but that still seems silly.

Important safety tip - put your popcorn in the break-room microwave and forget it...

Fire alarms suck.

Years ago we had a girl put some popcorn in a microwave at work that might have actual caught on fire right before one of our VPs happened to come through the area. It took awhile before he stopped giving her a hard time about that. She was mortified. There were actually scorch marks on the inside of the microwave.

You'd think that she was a complete moron or hit the wrong button but it hadn't been in there very long. The bag had been expired for awhile but nobody thought it would be a problem. Apparently the expiration date on microwave popcorn isn't a joke and after long enough they will go up in flames.
