Wee Dreadpirate used to play two games ALL the time. One I called mad scientist. I'm sure a lot of you out there played some version of this... you take random things, mix them together and see what happens. Just imagine my delight when I was given baking soda and vinegar. I'm sure if my parents knew what was to come they never would have encouraged my curiosity. Mad Scientist was put to a painful end when I mixed bleach and ammonia I found in the cabinet I wasn't supposed to play in.
I can't imagine how my parental units kept me alive long enough to reach grade school.
The OTHER game I had, which was similar to mad scientist, I don't remember very well. Moms told me I used to play "Julia Child" all the time. From her description it sounded like a mix of The Julia Child Show and the Swedish Chef but who's to say. I used to watch Mrs. Child and the muppets and they both had a similar sense of humour. Anyway, Julia Child has been getting a lot of hype from the recent movie and all but she remains a fascinating lady whom I sort of admire.
My point. Ummmm OH!
She has a line in one of her earlier shows about certain chickens as being such delightfully chickeny chickens. I think of that whenever I get a really good one.
