american dad

Thanks for the post from Bertha Randall

The other day I realized that most of the shows I tend to watch have one singular character that draws my interest. With the show How I met your Mother, it's Barney Stinson. The Office has Dwight Schrute. For American Dad, it's Roger, the alien. I wouldn't want to live his lifestyle, but I enjoy watching it. I guess that's why I also enjoy watching a lot of reality TV. Something about watching a train wreck is hard to avoid. Roger, dressed up as a human, always seems to find reach soaring heights in life only to crash down in some overdosed style fashion.
The original premise of the show was actually about a CIA dad, Stan Smith, and his relationships with his wife, son and his daughter. Roger was more of a side character who was thrown in for punchlines. While the show still focuses on those aforementioned relationships, the relationship between Roger and Stan has been a point of emphasis to develop over the past few seasons and the show is better for it. And it's not better because it leads to more character development or something that would enhance an episodes plot. It's better because there are way more funny moments and that is what sitcoms are there for -- to make us laugh. So I'll be continuing to catch American Dad on satellite TV from directstartv.com and laughing my head off in the process.

reese witherspoon stinky egg game

http://vegetarianorganicblog.com/pix/organic_easter_egg_dye.jpgActress Reese Witherspoon has planned a bizarre egg race to play with her family on Easter.

Witherspoon, who lives on a California ranch with new husband Jim Toth and her two children, says she would love to make full use of having surplus eggs of 21 chickens on her farm.

'I was trying to think of new games you can play. So I went online and there's this game where you stuff as many eggs into your tube socks as possible. And then you have to run a race. And whoever ends up at the end of the race with the least amount of broken eggs wins!'

'It's actually super fun, because the adults get competitive. We started whacking each others shins and ankles, grabbing each other, taking each other down. Especially me, because I'm a little bit competitive. Literally, it's disgusting. And it smells like rotten eggs for about three weeks. But it's fun,' she said. 

why birds fly into windows

Chris Leahy of Mass Audubon explains male birds become territorial, and by singing they advertise they want to mate. But that singing also tells other birds to stay out of his space, said Leahy.
When they see themselves in a window something happens. “They don’t perceive that this is a reflection. They think it’s a rival, and they will attack this reflection,” said Leahy.
It should end when breeding season is over, but it will start up again in late summer when the second breeding season begins.
Experts say birds probably won’t hurt themselves doing this.
