Nuggets of Love

Charlotte Observer - A Rock Hill student has been suspended indefinitely from elementary school after witnesses say he threatened to stab another student.

Officers spoke with an employee at Sunset Park Elementary School who said last week the 10-year-old told another student that if he didn't give him his chicken nuggets he would stab him, according to a Rock Hill police report. Nothing more happened between the two.

Another student who witnessed the incident reported he had also been threatened with a knife from the same boy, according to the report.

The knife was recovered in the student's book bag, the report states. He has since been suspended indefinitely and recommended for expulsion.

Neither student wishes to press charges against the student, the report states.

No kidding these students don't want to press charges.  If a dude is willing to stab you for nugs, he is capable of anything, especially taking your nugs.  Honestly, nugs in school are like cigarettes in prison, they're currency.  You need to copy homework?  Trade that geek some nugs.  You want Susie to be your girlfriend?  Give her your nugs.  Protect your nugs.

When I was in college, for some inexplicable reason, Chicken Nugget Night was ALWAYS packed, lines going out the door.  You better get there early or else you are not going to get your nugs. 

As soon as I heard this story, I thought of Latarian Milton, the 7 year old that took his grandmothers car for a joy ride and smoked real cigarettes, then got in trouble for hitting his grandmother in a Walmart because he wanted a hot dog or something.  I could see him mugging someone for chicken nugs.

  

Honestly, I'm writing about anything I can just to not think about the Celtics game last night.  And, if you don't want me to ruin chicken nugs for you, don't keep reading...

This is the mechanically separated meat used for nugs.  It's all the parts they couldn't or wouldn't use for something else.  I haven't eaten nugs since seeing this.
