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 (*cough[livejournal.com profile] slodwickand[livejournal.com profile] sameoldhopecough*) 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![livejournal.com profile] 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?

Pft, fine! Just 'cos I actually did the research and picked a highly rated phone, doesn't mean anything! *wanders off, hurt*

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!)

If a Chuck vid doesn't win this time around, I'm sure I'll do one in Jan or Feb (Valentine's Day!) anyway.

Also, I have a sidekick, which I love. It's said to have the best keyboard of any pda-style phones. In the last month I've triedf a Blackberry curve and the tmobile wing and sprint mogul and I haven't liked the OS or keyboard on any of them at *all*.

How did he get the chicken in the first place?

To my mind, this is not the most important question. The most important question is: WHY was he on NPR in the first place?

Someone else besides me had a pet chicken?

Are you looking for a cell phone or a pda? Cause my friend has the Samsung SCH-u740, but I got the enV (Verizon) cause the u740 just had too funky a layout for me. The enV is a regular cell phone upfront, but has a full QWERTY keyboard when you flip it open. Nice sized color screens too (front and inside). I also was thinking of getting the Q, but then I realized that I didn't really need the whole pda thing, just the keyboard (especially when the data plans are so gods-awful expensive).
