EMERGING REPORT: Esther wants an herb garden!

Just moments ago, Esther has decided that she wants an herb garden, to continue her culinary adventures through the spring and into the summer season. She has plans to convince some fellow Council Members to join her in her efforts to set up the garden, however she is skeptical of their participation, and she fears she may have to go it alone. She offered the following comment:

"Some fresh basil would be a nice addition to my famous pasta sauce...and perhaps some mint. And chives! For dipping sauces!!"

We will follow this intensely intriguing story as it unfolds.

UPDATE: 20 percent?

It appears that Esther has consumed approximately 20 percent of the Poland Spring bottle of water that she has vowed to consume by day's end.

Go, E! You can do it! We are all rooting for you over here at THN Headquarters.

BREAKING NEWS: Esther vows to drink entire bottle of Poland Spring by day's end!

This just in, from IGS Headquarters...in a rare and unprecedented move, Esther has solemnly vowed to consume an entire bottle of Poland Spring water by the end of the business day. Being as how this vow was made shortly after 2:00pm, it appears that she has a mere 4 hours to make good on her vow.


It is not clear what inspired this vow, as Esther is not fond of water, and usually favors coffee, red wine and hot cocoa. Our reporter on the scene managed to snap a candid shot of the bottle in question, pictured above, who graciously posed next to Esther's lunch while she was in the bathroom. The bottle was retrieved by Esther from the mini-fridge in the supply room, upon her return from the great outdoors.

Esther was too busy eating her tomato basil bisque to comment. At press time, she had opened the water, and taken 2 sips, consecutively.

We will provide updates on this ground-breaking story throughout the rest of the business day.

TOP STORY: Council Meets with Citizen Meow - Tarring and feathering temporarily postponed...

The Council met at The Lair on Friday evening, as planned, for Citizen Meow to make his plea to The Council. Although he made a most moving plea, The Council stand divided as to what to do regarding the situation at large. Head Council Member E has issued a direct order to allow Citizen Meow's status as a Lair Visitor to remain in good standing. Although The Council is forced to abide by this, there are unconfirmed reports that certain Council Members are planning to tar and feather Citizen Meow should he once again offend The Council under any circumstances. The Council will reconvene later this week, to revisit this issue, unless there are other more pressing matters to discuss. Citizen Meow spent a good portion of the weekend at The Lair, largely due to inclimate weather conditions.

We will continue to provide up-to-minute updates regarding this on-going saga.

Happy Monday!
