I was just about to switch off the tv last night when I caught the beginning of a King of Queens episode called Offensive Fowl. Two points. First, Doug has an incident with a chicken, where he hits one in chinatown, it comes back from near death only for Doug to realize its owner, a chinaman with a big butcher knife is looking for it. So Doug kidnapps the chicken and the only place he can find that takes in rescue chickens from NYC is none other than Plattsburgh!
Than, he has trouble eating chicken, and other meat and the episode is about him becoming a vegetarian and the changes he goes through. They had quite a few stereotypical granola-like references, the worst being a hemp dress he buys his wife to wear that is just awful. But my favorite part about the show is that apparently, if you become vegetarian, you go from low-brow to very intelligent, glass wearing, russian author reading, intellect. There was even an NPR reference thrown in.
And in other news, the latest duck count is 64 - with my brother finding one last night when he got in (it was in the sofa bed).
