It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Oh, OK. I've never watched that show, so that explains it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Are you talking about Kathryn Erbe? She has a 10 year old daughter and a 4 year old son.

Her pregnancy with the four year old was written into the show. Her character was serving as a surrogate mother for her sister. That's kind of bizarre, but better than a season of file folders and closeups of her face. The character even used the pregnancy to get witnesses and suspects to talk to her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I started watching L&O:CI when Erbe was pregnant, and I don't think I've seen many of the others. It weirds me when I tune in and Goren has a different partner.

Over in the comedy arena, My Name is Earl 's Jaime Lee Presley's real-life pregnancy was written in as Joyce surrogating for her half-sister. (If anything, prego-Joyce is even funnier than usual.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just finished the most traumatic Ugly Betty ever!

I missed the ending of CSI what happened?

Ok. It's over. There was not the death of a CSI. I was promised a shocking death.

It was REALLY creepy, though.

Edit: Oh, nevermind. There's another episode now.

Edit again: This is a re-run. But, I saw a preview. Was this not the season finale?
