Yesterday, on NPR, there was a guy talking about the chicken that he used to keep on top of his refrigerator (a live chicken) and how he used to feed it corn nibblets. Even though he was only making $50 a week, he was spending $10 on corn nibblets for the chicken. He also said that he used to eat chicken in front of the chicken, and that the chicken saw him naked. He said he'd always figured he would just eat the chicken one day, but I don't recall what he said about what happened to the chicken, because it wasn't that. Did anybody else hear this programme? How did he get the chicken in the first place?

I have been super busy with RL recently, so, if I missed something important please let me know.

For example, Shia looking so fucking hot that I need new knickers? That's important. If someone (*coughslodwickandsameoldhopecough*) felt compelled to make me some Shia icons (especially the ones at the bottom from his day off) I might feel compelled to drabble (*coughMSTSMFcough*) them some stuff at their request.

Also, does anybody have the Samsung SCH-u740? How's it working out for you? I'm in the market for a new phone (noCrackberries!antheia) and I want one with a keypad.

Also, I am in the market for a Mad Men beta, can anybody offer their services in that fandom?

It was on This American Life (show #116: Poultry Slam) -- Jonathan Gold was the guy, and the chicken was part of a performance art piece. Sadly, I don't think they ever explicitly say what happened to the chicken. (Nibblets!)

I came in at the nibblets part and pretty much laughed myself stupid all they way to brunch, when they were talking about Mitterand's Last Meal and eating the orkeny bones, which EW.

Yeahhhhh. Big with the ew. I'm not really a fan of their Thanksgiving shows, to be honest, but I still recommend TAL with all my heart, because their shows are so often hilarious/heartwarming/interesting. :)

I've not heard TAL before, but it comes on every Sunday? Y/N?

It's broadcast weekly -- I believe it airs on Friday nights in Chicago, where it's produced. We get it on Saturdays, and repeated on Sundays here, but I generally listen via podcast at work.

You can also listen to their entire archive via their website.
