"Bitter with Baggage Seeks the Same"

• One point for a chicken reading personals with a thought bubble 'I do like pina coladas and walking in the rain...'
• One point for a couple of chicken entranced in front of a framed picture of three gorgeous Faberge eggs in a musuem.
• One point for a chicken nun deducing that one of the Mary Xes is going down.
• One point for making fun of an Atkins dieter's 'sweet meat breath'.
• One point for 'Princess Gwyneth's money was on Puff.'

I'd reward this cutesy effort by Sloane Tanen a generous 5 out of 10. Reviews call those pom-pom chicks 'darling', and the captioned dioramas 'whimsical'. Doing it too brown, entirely.

Heard on the radio: mega-mergers described as 'elephant dance'; 'romantic egotist'. (Yes, 'romantic altruist' somehow doesn't have the same ring. )
