I made chicken and rice in the crock pot for dinner. It's very easy. Dump some chicken filets in the crock pot with lots of chicken stock, a diced onion, some butter, a cup or two of white wine, and 1-2 teaspoons of Herbes de Provence, my new favorite spice. Add in the rice an hour before you want to eat. The smell permeating the house is heavenly.
Talk show host Craig Ferguson did this joke yesterday:

One is a scum-swilling bottom feeder. The other is a fish.

HELP!!!!
