Well, it's certainly not a hot topic, right?
Don't you think it's rather chilling?
Isn't that a good thing in the summer?
Don't they say an icicle might be the perfect murder weapon?
Ddin't I hear once about a woman killing her husband with a frozen steak and then served it (cooked) to the officers investigatig? Was that in a movie?
And yes, ff, don't I think it'd be 'perfect' if you could melt it before anything is discovered?
Me or the woman? Was I being catty?
Were you not aware of it?
devriesj , wasn't that an Alfred Hitchcock TV episode (I think with Barbara Bel Geddes) about a woman who kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooks it and serves it to the officers?
Spendi- I think you are reading too much of my 'feline tendencies' into it, don't I?
Is that what it was, ff? Wouldn't that make sense since I love old movies and tv? It was in black and white, right?
Can you believe we remembered it, dev?
And that it was called Lamb to the Slaughter, and it was on the Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV series?
And, did you know it was based on a story by Roald Dahl with the same title?
And can you believe I just found this?

Mary Maloney is a devoted wife and an exceptional housekeeper. One day, he husband, the police chief, announces that he wants a divorce because he has met another woman. Mary is quite angy and kills him with a blow from a frozen leg of lamb. She calls the police and provides and alibi for herself with the story that she'd been out to the store when the murder took place. The investigating officer, Lieutenant Noonan is further frustrated when he cannot to find the murder weapon. Knowing of the long and hard hours spent looking into the case, Mary invites Noonan to the other investigators for a bite to eat. They dig into Mary's leg of lamb and Noonan still thinking about the missing murder weapon says "For all we know, it might be right under our very noses."
Ain't that something?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Spendi- isn't it pub time yet?
Wow, fly, did you google al of that? Have you seen it?
Do you think I remembered all of that (even though I remember seeing the episode when it first aired)? Would you believe I did remember Barbara Bel Geddes and the leg of lamb, and that it was the Hitchcock series?
I think that was a terrific plot, don't you?
Definitely! They don't make 'em like they used to, do they?
*I must have seen it on the Arts & Entertainment channel or something. I wasn't even thought of when it first aired, but I've definitley seen it. I'm just addicted to old (black & white, early color) movies!
Do any of you watch a lot of TV?
Do you watch TV while you are on the computer?
If it's something I really want to watch I go off the computer, wouldn't you? But don't you think I might watch CNN when I am online, just to keep up with the news?
