There are plenty of Fifty Shades of Grey parodies but this cookbook is a first. Fifty Shades of Chicken has poultry recipes interspersed with a story full of chicken-related puns and poultry innuendo. "One day as I was tying up the ankles of a chicken for roasting, I realised why some of the scenes in the book were so strikingly familiar. It turns out I've been practising BDSM for years - but with poultry," said the author, who goes by the name FL Fowler. Recipes include Dripping Thighs, Sticky Chicken Fingers, Bacon-Bound Wings, and Mustard-Spanked Chicken. (Source: People magazine)
The movie's too racy, but how about a beer?
"We took our 15-year-old all the way into Auckland (from Wellsford) to see an R15 movie," writes a father, "but were turned away because he doesn't have photo ID. A birth certificate doesn't count. We then took him into a restaurant and he was offered a beer. It turns out as long as he is with his parents he can drink in a bar yet he can't see a New Zealand movie, Two Little Boys? Good on you, Event Cinemas!"
Too close for comfort
An unidentified mother of twins was photographed at a Utah deli/cafe apparently toilet-training her toddlers at a table. Another patron witnessed the mother's bringing in what at first glance looked like booster seats, but then the mum undid the kids' jumpsuits and placed them on the potties. A spokeswoman for the deli said the incident was over by the time it was reported to her, but the witness put a photo on the internet (picked up by TV stations) so that millions of people could disapprove of the mother's parenting.
