How come you're remarking upon Selma Hayek's rack, sarameg? Totally agree with the assessment, by the way.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ooh, quesadillas might work. Will have to stop at store for some tortillas, but I need to get milk anyway.

Marinate your chicken in something handy and throw them in the pan. Can you tell I'm creative?

I have no clue what makes a good marinade. This cooking thing is something I avoid most of the time.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to get milk anyway.

Hey, me too!

Here in the privacy of my own home, I can kind of manage it, but it's still weird.

Jesse, you should've seen me last year when I was having all the dental work done. I developed this somewhat hilarious system in order to smoke while shot up with novocaine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's really kind of tragic. I was basically holding my lips closed with my fingers.

Kalshane: many salad dressings are good for marinating. Soy sauce. Lemon juice. Some of those things in combination.

And Salma Hayek is on Ugly Betty.

In the first 3 minutes of Ugly Betty, she rips her shirt off in an elevator.

I'd had the same thought when I saw Frieda. I envy her liftness.

I often resort to bottled marinades, but slathering them in something like oregano and oil, or pesto or lemon juice and pepper works ok.

I just got mugged for my vaseline.

Cats weird.

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

Ha ha! </Nelson>

Fox News ratings take a steep tumble

October was the 10th anniversary of Fox News, and in that 10 years it has risen to the No. 1 cable news network, riding on the tagline "Fair and Balanced."

Yet Fox News is showing serious signs of aging, led by steep audience declines.

Fox News’s total audience fell 24 percent in the past year, to 1.3 million viewers from 1.7 million, and its key primetime audience, viewers ages 25-54, was down 7 percent in October on a year-to-year basis, to an average 363,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research data.

In third quarter, Fox News suffered a 38 percent decline in 25-54s, to 409,000. In second quarter, that audience was down 22 percent and in first quarter it slid 28 percent. It is still No. 1 by a long shot.

And yeah, their politics are a major reason behind this....

Ah, Ugly Betty. When Salma's on my TV, it's usually an awards show, so I was wondering which one I was missing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I mean, assless chaps.

Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants? My dad has chaps. With fringe, even.

I'm in total agreement on Selma Hayak's rack. I recorded tonight's episode and can't wait to watch.

Rudolph Guiliani is stumping for Ken Blackwell--I just saw an ad. Bleh.
