This, I love.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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!

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

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."
@@4evah!
Wow. The levels of stupid there are breathtaking.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
...so optimally, the mother is unconscious?

I can't speak from personal experience, but I suspect the "no sounds or expressions of pain" thing won't last terribly long once labor really gets going. Especially without drugs.

Eh, I wasn't especially loud, and probably could have done the whole thing quietly, but birth isn't exactly peaceful for the kidlet, who's the one getting his or her head squished while he or she gets pushed out.
So, the notion that somehow being a quiet little woman while you do it makes it all better is... kind of absurd.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My family was in the meat business for three generations. I've seen vegetables that had higher IQs than cattle. I was going to things like openings of meat processing plants when I was a kid. I do think the time they gave toy lambs to the kids at the opening of a lamb processing plant was in questionable taste. "Oh, see the lambs. They're so cute. Let's kill them."
