had some wings today. REAL MEN LOVE WINGS. so i went to the wingstop, part of the university collection, with my brother. this place is a chain, like many of the wing places i eat at, so it’s not TOO exciting, but let’s face it – wings are always exciting. spicy. crispy. chickeny. *not pictured: a COKE i picked up a “combo meal” of sorts: 15 wings in two different..
