The Soprano's

Because the Soprano's are now free on A&E, I've been watching like a cheetah at a zebra convention. I love me some Soprano's. Mostly, I love Tony--no surprise there.

I had a weird dream last night about me and Tony (um...er...yes, in my dream he was a bigger man than I'd bargained for) and his INSATIABLE family demanding breakfast! I spent TWELVE hours doing the dishes!

What does that mean? I'm capable of doing the breakfast dishes of the don? or what?


Anyway--I now need to make baked ziti. And have a priest come over to eat it with me. Along with a ton of Chianti.

I vote that since Brianna is in college she should have to show us a modern picture of her ass for each time she used the possesive apostrophe in a plural word.

I count three.

I second the motion.

Any opposition?

No?

The motion passes!

Oh, you guys! That is pretty effed-up of me. Course, it might have had something to do with the Chianti...

I just want to state, for the record, that I forbore to indulge in any grammar nazi-ing.

(Wait a minute... The Sopranos... on A&E?? I admit I've never watched a single episode, but doesn't it lack something with all the naughty bits chopped out?)

And don't think I didn't notice your anti-grammar-nazi-ing stance. Your free coupon is in the mail.

Yeah, they've chopped out the naughty bits, but it's still better than 99% of the show's out there.*
















*HA! I wrote "show's" !

I'm sure they cut out the word fuck where it occurs, but do they cut out where they put the guy's head into a bowling bag?

fuck fuck fuck

My ex has been watching. He says you can pretty much tell what they were saying anyway, but I imagine it's really cut up. They did it with Six Feet Under too. I agree with Bri, even with the cuts it's an amazing show.

the Sopranos'. . . what?

(picky grammar post--NO APOSTROPHE!--it's not possessive or a contraction)

they didn't. If you're going to be possessive about it, that's the way to go.

They actually have a cookbook out, the Sopranos Family Cookbook. The recipe for Carmella's Baked Ziti sounded pretty yummy, but I can't seem to find it online.

Edit: after I posted this, I got to thinking how much I'd like some, so I'm going to make some for dinner. Gonna add a layer of spinach, though. 'Cause I want to.

I think the famous ziti in the Sopranos was actually Livia's, according to AJ's complaint.
