I'm writting a FanFic and I'm wondering, How long is a sentence for Grand Theft Auto?
(the ff is Mr. Monk Joins the Theatre)

You got a question, need help on your FanFic, anything else post it here.

Thank You!

I have another question: How many twists can a plot handle?

It depends on the length. I was just reading a book that suggested that many traditional mystery novels often contain three distinct acts, each ending with some sort of major twist.

But it isn't written in stone. (That would be too heavy to read.)

My favorite answer to that questions is - One less twist than it takes to make a hole.

I have a question. Did they really ever can chicken legs?

Silly question really, but my husband just put on an episode of The Twilight Zone and there is a dark-haired Elizabeth Montgomery eating canned chicken legs in a restaurant in a post-nuclear holocaust world.

Did they ever really make such a thing? I've never seen it. Am I just too young?

Apparently so.

Excerpt from Mykerala.com
Iraqi firm comes hunting for Kerala chicken
Friday, January 30, 2004

"Several firms in the State export poultry products such as canned chicken legs to the Gulf,'' said Dr Udayavarman, Assistant Director, Animal Husbandry Department, Govt of Kerala. The Centre is taking precautions to prevent the epidemic from crossing into our borders. Prominent poultry firms in South India have sent scientists to affected areas to study the disease,'' he said. The State has also stepped up vigil against the flu, he added."

Having just been on a road trip, I have a question: Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

That makes sense. many cultures eat the parts of animals that most Americans throw away. I saw packaged squid ink for culinary use at the local Asian market. I knew people at squid, but never would have thought that the ink was used for food.

(And I've seen frozen chicken feet.)

OMG, ROTF at that question.

I have a question, according to science all life started from the amoeba. Since amoeba are all female (they only contain mitocrondial DNA) where do men come from?

I always thought they locked the bathrooms so that they would have an excuse not to clean them, and so you'd have to suffer. "Sorry, someone stole the key."

True story: I went into a Starbucks because I had to use the potty SO BADLY, and was told that it was for customers only. Another words: BUY A DRINK, MORON. So I ordered a coffee and had to wait for them to make it before they would give me the key. (((Shakes Head))) I made it. Barely.

Thanks Teresa!

EXACTLY!! Why is it such a big deal to get a restroom key? I mean why do they strap it to a tire or something? Is someone really going to swipe a bathroom key for a gas station?? Those things are death traps.

I have a few guesses for this one.

1) to prevent people from vandalizing them
2) to prevent illegal activities from taking place in them
3) to tell people who want to use them that they can't unless they are a customer who is buying something, which is kind of another form of highway robbery.

Here, it's not uncommon to see the feet of chickens and turkies, ox tails, stomach lining from pigs or cows, pigs brains, cow tongue, pigs feet, pig jowls, and the worst of all to me, the entire head of a pig or cow, missing only the outter skin in the case of the cow, but not the pig, wrapped in that saran wrap stuff and sitting in the meat case, with the eyes open and the tongue often hanging out the side. That's why my husband usually does the grocery shopping alone.

And this is being sold as people food. It's not like the cow hooves and pigs ears that they sell in the pets department. Welcome to my world.

I think it's more likely that people pur them in their pockets when they go to use the restroom and forget to give them back. The tire rim keeps you from doing that, I suppose.

I watch Iron Chef and they used squid ink to color the food, think it was a rice dish. I think that I heard of using parts of the chicken to flavor and make a stock..my mom uses a ham hock to flavor her beans...tasty!

Why is it every time I spend money on a nice planting for our yard, it dies?? My beautiful new Tiger Eye Sumac is turning yellow and orange already. I planted it early last month. I think it's going to croak real soon.

I'll just go out and buy another one to replace it, so there! It's doing this to make me mad, I just know it, suicide by evil plantings. Or something like that.

My aunt who was married to a Norwegian bought pigs head to make souse or headcheese. Yuck! Pickled pigs feet aren't bad, mydad always had jar in the house.

Pig skin is so much like human skin it totally grosses me out to think of eating it in any form. I mean, isn't pig skin used for skin grafts in burn vivtims?

I saw that episode and I vividly recall that Iron Chef French (Sakai) used the squid ink to make an ice cream. It was a spectacular dark purplish color and a complete culinary flop. I love that show.

I think the squid ink is usually used with rice and pasta for flavoring as well as coloring.

For example.

Liv, I'm sure you're right regarding the reasons gas station bathroom facilities are so zealously guarded. It's just hard to imagine the hypothetical undesirable activities causing still more decrepit conditions than one usually finds. *sigh* There just aren't enough wipes in the world.

Another question: In court, why do they ask if you swear to tell the truth? If you're planning on lying, do they really think you'll tell them so?

I've never tried putting a tire rim in my pocket, but something tells me I couldn't do it. Unless maybe if I had on clown pants. But why would I have on clown pants? Never mind.

Does anyone know where I can get a Monk ringtone? I think it would be great to have It's a Jungle Out There as my ringtone.

I want one too. Someone help us out.

That would be so awesome!!! I want one!

Unless the ringtone is made with the copyright holder's permission, it's a copyright violation. I've checked with my carrier and they don't have "It's a Jungle Out There" nor Jeff Beal's Theme.

here is a ringtone on It´s a jungle out there. only 10 secs. Hope you can upload it on your phone.

!REMOVED!

oops, is this illegal?? Please, tell me, I will remove it then. Just found at the web.

Thanks! I don't know if it is illegal or not.

I don't think that's a licensed file ... just because it's free doesn't make it legal. The USA Network has the Spanish version of the Psych theme song available as a ring tone, so I'd think they'd do the same if they had the Monk theme(s) available for ringtones ...

The copyright violation issue is something between you and your piece of mind ...

Maybe someone can start a "Wishlist" ... the Monk nesting dolls as seen in the recent promo ... Monk ring tones ...

Anyone know if this is true?

Leland Stottlemeyer and Randy Disher (named Randy Deacon in the pilot episode) were named for Inspector Lestrade in the Sherlock Holmes series. Take the first two letters of their names (LEland STottlemeyer, RAndy DEacon), and they spell LESTRADE ...

Or is it just a coincidence?
