Police: Man pulled knife over chicken

FORT PIERCE, Fla., Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a man was arrested after he allegedly pulled a knife on his brother during an argument about chicken wings.

Investigators said Calvin Edwards, 48, of Fort Pierce was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery after the alleged Tuesday incident, TCPalm.com reported Thursday.

The arrest affidavit quotes Edwards' brother as saying he and his sibling were "scuffling over chicken wings when Calvin pulled a small pocket knife and threatened to cut him." The brother, who said he was injured when Edwards scratched him on the wrist, said he backed down from the confrontation and called police.

No mention of alcohol, but I am guessing that there was some present :)

4. There is a shortage of chicken wings and the Super Bowl is next week

A Super Bowl Without Hot Wings? The Nationwide Shortage

Is the United States in a chicken wing crisis? It seems like the recent bankruptcy case of the Pilgrim's Pride Corporation and the economy has put a hurtin' on the chicken wing availability. What does this mean for the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is just around the corner which means a lot of parties and a lot of party foods. However, it looks like the cheese and cracker tray may replace good 'ol hot wings this year as the demand for the tasty poultry bits is higher than ever but the supply? Well, that's another story.

As a major supplier of buffalo wings, a poultry farm in Texas recently filed bankruptcy causing a shortage in supply. Now, as the chicken wing capital of the United States, Buffalo, New York, one would assume that they would have a niche on the supply side of things, right?

Wrong.

New York perfects the tiny wings that Texas supplies. Now that perfection is going to cost consumers a whole lot more and according to WIVB News, that cost is so frustrating that restaurants and consumers have had enough and are calling for a Chicken Wing Boycott on January, 26th.


"Pass it on to everybody that if nobody could serve chicken wings for that day."

People are paying double the price for chicken wings in some locations, where one man said that "40 pounds would be like $85 we used to pay $40."

The supply is down and the demand is up, resulting in higher prices. However, in today's economy, people cannot afford the higher costs for something like a chicken wing and simply will not spend the money. This could mean a loss for many small businesses who target their dealings to a certain group: wing lovers. And when many are buying their basket of wings at a per wing price? Well, an increase of pennies per wing makes a huge difference.

So what does this mean for the Super Bowl parties going on around the nation? Those spicy little guys that so many love might not be on the menu this year.

11. Super Bowel?

Is that what happens when you eat Colon Blow?

[liberal N proud]

13. Maybe

5. That's nothin'

I had a 32 auto put to my temple over a 25 cent beer in some dive in OKC.

I heard: "Give the lady a beer." and turned to see a nickel plated automatic staring me in the face.

I figured it wasn't worth a quarter to die over.

[a la izquierda]

17. How long ago was that?

And where? I'd like to stay away from this place.

18. Long time ago in the 70's

He was a local Dixie Mafia. I ignored him, got a beer and played pool with someone else. I figured he was just trying to impress his new wench. Most everyone carried back then.
I asked a local detective what was legit to carry in my car and he recommended a pump shotgun with buckshot. As long as you kept it in plain sight and unloaded, it was no problem, even in the city.

6. I want to know where those chicken wings came from

I need to go there and get those chicken wings - they must be incredibly delicious to warrant this.

[MajorChode]

14. Come over to my house sometime and bring your guns

I make the best wings this side of the Mississippi. Disputes over ownership often give rise to armed confrontations. Luckily nobody has been shot yet.

[harmonicon]

15. west of the Mississippi, eh?

Can they really be as good as some of the chicken wings I've had on the east side? Unfortunately, I have no guns, so, even if they were that good, I'd go hungry.

[MajorChode]

16. If you have no guns, you risk losing your wings

I am contractually forbidden from revealing my recipe, but this one will get you pretty close although I suggest using a lot more red pepper flakes:

21. Do you make a vegetarian equivalent?

Just asking...:9

[The Straight Story]

22. yeah, mix all the ingredients except the chicken, send me the chicken

Eat the rest yourself :)

[MajorChode]

23. I haven't, but here's an idea you might try

Roast some edamame(husks removed) in the oven at high heat (say 425 or so) until brown. Coat immediately afterward with the sauce mixture listed on the web site.

Some vegans have an aversion to honey, so you could always substitute real maple syrup.

I have no idea how that would work, but it might be worth a try.

[KansDem]

25. Thanks!

Looks yummy!

[EFerrari]

7. My first husband's family used to do that over mashed potatoes.

It was an upstate New York thing, I think. :scared:

[Swede]

8. Them must've been some tastey wings!

Is there a recipe?

[Tempest]

9. They must have been some damn fine chicken wings

I'd fight over a good wine, but not chicken wings.

[my2sense]

10. bwahahahahah

[Renew Deal]

12. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

But I love chicken wings. :D

[madinmaryland]

19. FLORIDA. 'nuff said.

[Javaman]

20. "YOU will put that wing down, or else I'll cut ya!!"
