"Why did the chicken cross the road?" River: "GIBLETS!"

[annathepiper]

Hee! Firefly-style "Why did the chicken cross the road?" and "How many <fill in favorite character here> does it take to change a light bulb?" jokes here on fireflyfans.net and here on whedonesque.com.

And now, to slog through the next eight hours till the weekend. Work's been slow and dull this week with periodic meetings and short bursts of Stuff To Do, and I'm expecting today to be even shorter on Stuff to Do when the Super Bowl rally kicks in downstairs around 3:30. I'm not expecting much work to get done around here today at all, really. Maybe I'll get in some more writing.

On the queue for this weekend: Battlestar, finishing off the second half of Sharon Shinn's Angel-Seeker finally (which I abandoned reading last summer for no real good reason), hoping that if the windstorm does get here it turns out to not be a real problem, and watching the Super Bowl. Oh, and counting down the days to GREAT BIG SEA! (But you knew that last bit already.)

Days till the Great Big Sea Show (YAY!): 8
Wednesday evening miles: 2.4
Thursday miles: 4.0
Friday morning miles: 1.6
Miles out of Hobbiton: 675.9
Miles out of Rivendell: 217.9
Miles to Lothlórien: 246.1

Joss Whedon: I dunno, but just when it seems to be safely across, I'll hit it with my car.

*snorfle!* Yeah, somebody on whedonesque.com did a Joss one too: "JOSS WHEDON: you'll never know, because I plan to kill the chicken." But I like yours better. :D

Thanks!

And I was just thinking this morning that my sense of humor has been on sabbatical....

[annathepiper]

You're welcome! Yours is more in theme with the joke. ^_^

spazzkat says in answer to this one: "... but a ghost version returns to guide other chickens across safely, because death doesn't get you out of working." ^_^

This one's probably my favorite:
"FOX: Can you make the chicken nicer and have it tell some jokes? Actually, we're going to show the chicken before we show the egg, then we're going to cancel the road."

[annathepiper]

Hee! Yeah, I liked that one too. ;)
