SPENT SOME TIME TODAY WITH Ed, Jake, and that simpering, jelly-legged, Bell. One question: Why are two delicious men nuts over a dumb, tongue tied , flat chested, bleeding brunette? Beats me. Laurent should have eaten her when he had the chance and done us all a favor.

Hen of Filth
BEWILDERMENT. That describes my feelings regarding a strange occurrence, which is actually becoming the norm.

MY OLDEST, SPARKS, shies away from the camera. Pull one out, and she gets that disapproving look on her face. I'm never sure why. She darling. The proof is above. Her friend, rabirunner, caught this candid and I love it. LOGOPHILIA GIVE-A-WAY WINNER
What great participation I received for this drawing! Twenty-four applicants, but alas, I could only choose one of you. :(

IT'S ANOTHER GIVE-A-WAY!
Sparks has launched a new store.
Hen Scratch: relief, Rummikub, & resale
GOT THE DESK MOVED. Much warmer. Got the craft shelves done. Much more attractive. Put away the all misc junk from my creative space. Much relief.

I Couldn't Help Myself
Hen Scratch: bread pudding, black boxes, & bad knee
I READ 'NEEN'S cluck today and felt all warm inside. She reads ME first in the morning! Take that Sparks and Rookie!
The Why Index - Results
Yesterday I posted "The Why Index."
My daughter, Sparks, caught it and issued a challenge.
Little stinker put me in a tough place because the clucks that came in were clever. What to choose? I ought to choose all of them and have her award a Logophilia print to each one.
Before I announce the winner, I have to give you a taste for the clucks that came to the roost:
Lars
Why do PC's exist?
PC's exist so that us in the Apple cult can have our cult.
I love my MacBook and like you I giveth names, Maxine and I are tight. She gives me lap dances and keeps me warm and unlike a PC she would never sing "What Have You Done For Me Lately" and go all passive aggressive on me.

Why doesn't anyone make boots for people with ankles and calves like mine?
I've wondered the same thing about boots - they never seem to fit me right and I wonder what freakish ankles and calves they were designed for. Really it's bad enough having to feel inadequate shopping for jeans and swimsuits - and then they say the nice thing about shoe shopping is the “shoe always fits” - but not so for boots. They were probably designed by men... or leggy blondes.

If cow and horse manure are so good for crops, why do they smell so dang bad?
Farts are good for us too
Brandon and Julie
Why does our microwave work some days and some days not? Is it female?
No, not female. Check out the end of the plug. Definitely male. Why else do you think we want to throw electronic appliances against the wall when they just won't do what we want them too when we all know that if they would just cooperate life would flow much more smoothly?
Why do I swear sometimes?
Cause you have 6 daughters.
Why do my daughters swear most of the time?
Cause their mother swears.
Why do I like violent movies?
Because of some inner psychological need to lash out in anger when all that estrogen wants to get the best of you but you know a violent movie is a much more sane option.

Why does our microwave work some days and some days not?
The microwave, and many other things in the house that selectively work, don't work because the house is haunted.
Mrs.Pingle
When I read your question, "If cow and horse manure are so good for crops, why do they smell so dang bad?" ...I read "dang" as "dung"... which made me smile. How fitting.
Jessica
And the swearing? Swearing is fun.
Michele
Why does Gus have to smell so bad, and why does he insist on laying under my chair?
Gus is my 2-year-old. I have no idea why is is laying under your chair I thought he was in his room for his daytime nap but hey what do I know I’m just his mum. But I have a fair idea about why he smells so bad and its a lot to do with your question #2 regarding manure. Gus manure is rather vile too.
Joni Gardine
As for the boots and jeans questions?
The whole fashion industry is a conspiracy. ;)
Roby Sue
Why couldn't I have been a rock star?
It's never too late to change careers.
Why do I like violent movies?
For the same reason I watch shows about serial killers at night when my husband is working late.?
Thanks to everyone. I was so thrilled to get "pings" on my iPhone which meant I had another clever cluck to enjoy.
But to narrow things down, I have to succumb to Lars. Revealing that her laptop gives her lap dances was just to good to pass. Not that I'm into porn, pole & lap dancers, X-rated movies or any of that smut - it's just using the phrase "lap dance" in regards to a laptop caused this hen to emit a large chuckle.
Congrats Lars!

Hen Scratch: hell, happiness, & head in the sand
THE WIND BLEW LAST NIGHT like a banshee over the peat bogs. When I went to bed, there were leaves on the trees. When I got up this morning, they were gone. The trees are wrapping their limbs across their chests to maintain some kind of dignity.
