"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The insiders say that Tom, 43, and Katie, 27, plan to keep up the charade of a romance until after their baby’s birth this spring. In the meantime, the couple will live in his Beverly Hills home — though sleeping in separate bedrooms — through the summer.

And this indicates a change from the previous state of their relationship how, exactly?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

How are these animals hunted? Do they have lots of space to hide, or is it, like, shooting elk in a barrel?

It's the Texas Hill Country. The tallest trees are some 8-10 feet tall and they're spread out in a way that no one could reasonably think "forest." These ranches have to feed 'em because there's none of their natural habitat. And it's 115 degrees out in the summer. So, yeah, these brave hunters shoot stunted, semi-domesticated, heat-stunned pathetic little elk. I should be clear that I don't know whether the Armstrong Ranch (which is about the size of a Central American country) practices this sort of bullshit game hunting, but it's all over the Hill Country and even west towards Del Rio.

If I only had a brain...

I'm not sure manslaughter is technically a "high crime".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not sure manslaughter is technically a "high crime".

Well, maybe...

"Duuuuude. You totally manslaughtered that guy...."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's a felony, which means it's not a misdemeanor.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

They import some sort of elk/antelope-ish animals from Africa for the Packers to hunt.

1) Do the Packers really need to prove they can pack, um, some kind of meat??

2) Does Brett Favre have some kind of kudu fetish??

3) WTF kind of incredibly bizarre work-perk is that, to have a private African antelope HUNTING PRESERVE?? Like, are the free soda machines and the trainers and the people who carry your luggage not enough?

4) Is the road really really really REALLY far away from the preserve itself? Because, when I was a kid, sometimes dumbass out-of-state hunters would pull over by the side of the highway, and shoot at wildlife, and be shooting into people's back yards. (These dumbasses were promptly arrested.) In this case, I would be worried about people getting rifle bullets through their windshields.

5) I repeat, WTF???

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Cruise's publicist has already issued a sternly-worded denial of the breakup. Way to spoil our fun, bastard!

Also, poor Katie! I was almost so happy for her!

Someone on Gawker commented:

Interesting that Tom will sue over the slightest gay rumor but claim that he is leaving his baby mamma and all you get is a publicist's denial.

It does tend to be leaner than beef, so it's more heart healthy.
