it was that they were mean, nasty and had it in for her in particular.

That's what my mom said, too.

That's what my mom said, too.

Mine said that, but she was talking about sheep, not chicken.

It wasn't the odor that lead my mom to her conclusions, it was that they were mean, nasty and had it in for her in particular.

That's what my mom said, too.

So one of your mom's is obviously David Boreanaz in disguise.

What are people doing this weekend?

Tonight: seeing a friend sing, maybe going to see a work friend's friend DJ

Saturday: donating platelets, waiting for cable repair person, hopefully having building guys remove window a/c's, friend's b'day party

Sunday: Church, maybe work, maybe home to laundry and watch movies.

Two notes from IMDB:

Scientology couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston are urging Katie Holmes to have a 'silent birth' when she delivers fiance Tom Cruise's baby next year and follow the church's strict doctrines. Scientologists believe children should be brought into the world without any fuss and be allowed to quietly get used to their surroundings. That means no music, no chatting and no expressions of pain from the mother. Preston explains, "It's just because everything in moments of pain is really recorded and you want to have that (the birth) peaceful and clear of sort of suggestions or different words that can then affect them (babies) in their future."

Former Taxi star Tony Danza is far from impressed with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby news - because they're having a child out of wedlock. The Hollywood couple, who became engaged in June after two months of dating, announced they're expecting their first child together on Wednesday. Danza is bemused by Cruise's behavior and believes his recent attack on Brooke Shields' decision to take medication for her postpartum depression was hypocritical considering the Mission: Impossible star is now living his own life with questionable morality. The talk show host says, "I'm a little upset about this. Here's a guy out there lecturing people about drugs, but out of wedlock births don't seem to bother him. He's never (appearing on) my show, so it doesn't matter." He adds, "I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury Povich's show for a DNA test."

Call me Jamaican, but the out of wedlock part, in principle, disturbs me less than most of the other details of the TomKat union.

Tonight:

Drinking with Carla, then getting on a train and traveling 100 miles to go drinking with my brother. Tomorrow a crazy-ass wedding with lots of potential for drama. Sunday watching football and taking my dog back from my Dad (she's been visiting grampa for the past week).

"I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury Povich's show for a DNA test."

This, I love.

Said she'd met cows she'd liked, so she didn't eat them. She'd met chickens she'd used as shuttlecocks, so eating them was the greater mercy.

Yup, that's me. 'Don't eat it if you can't kill it' is my meat-eating motto, so it's just chicken and fish for me. Chickens are just heinous little beady-eyed monsters.

I'm looking forward to the first weekend in a while that doesn't somehow involve moving. So I have no plans. Maybe improv. Maybe Serenity. Maybe BOTH!

He adds, "I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury Povich's show for a DNA test."

Hee.

I can't tell if Tony Danza's rant was tongue in cheek or not, though. I could see it either way.
