gary lightbody 

An amazing lead singer to the band Snow Patrol. He is a great song writter and has writen for Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls. He writes about lost and broken love, as well as some foggy nights in the local pub. He seems to be quite a romatic and lover. Very in touch wtih his emotions. There also seems to be a lot of hurt and pain in his heart, like he feels like he has messed to many things up. He misses a lot of his old girl friends, and it sometimes hurts to sing older songs that he no longer relates to, but does for his die hard fans. I think I may loose my verginity to this amazing man. I will keep you posted on this dream of mine.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
