Gorilla Thrilla

This is one of my all time favorite pictures. We got the pups some toys, one of which was 'Eek Eek Gorilla' (lower right). You squeezed it and it eek eek'ed for a while.
Emily started woo woo'ing at me while Penny was not happy and needed to be consoled by Rom. Notice Abby in the background? She's the invisible black lab.

and he wins by a,... wins by a,..., he wins!

Mrs. Beisbolfan gets mad at me when I post anything even remotely risque. She tells me, "Our mothers read your blog!" (sorry about the smelly farts lowering blood pressure post)
Well, I just can't resist this one.

Anti-doping agency may ban Viagra
24 Nov 2008
PENNSYLVANIA: The World Anti-Doping Agency is looking at a new and unlikely suspect in the world of performance-enhancing drugs in sports - Viagra. The blue, diamond-shaped pill, associated with treating sexual dysfunction in men, is suspected of dilating blood vessels in athletes and unduly increasing oxygen-carrying capacity, giving them an unfair competitive advantage.

My comment is on testing for this drug use. Isn't there an easier way than a blood test? I mean, really. Shouldn't you just look for the guy carrying the big notebook?

No one I know

I'm the worst offender when it comes to thank you notes.

But at least I know what they are.

State Quarters - Finally!

Just got the Hawaiian state quarter today.

Did anyone else fill out their state quarter map?

Is that a new thing?

I'm reading the newspaper, sir. What are you doing?

Oh Santa!

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic with the holidays coming up, but I'm sensing the economy is about to turn the corner...

yes, but mine...

Does the beer market outperform the bear market?

Investment advice

I thought I would pass on some investing advice in these tough times....

If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left. With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left. With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Señor dog fud

Went to PetSmart today. They hid the ususual dog food bag in a new color. I had to ask and told the guy that I was sure it was right in front of me. It was. Of course, S3 thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I guess it is always better fresh. Come to think of it, sliced bread would have gotten her juices going. Don't have to think about Señor dog fud for a while, thank goodness.

Then I took the milk, and I went up to the register, and I said "Hi, how are you?," and she said, "Will that be all?", and I said, "No, I want to buy this."

Say, now there's a tiny hat!

The Darkest Evening of the Year

I started my reading of Dean R. Koontz based on a recommendation from Earl. This first of his many books I read was Watchers, which had a great dog character. I've always felt that dogs know more than they let on.




Here is a quote from the lastest of DRK's books out in paperback:

"To the observant, all dogs have an air of mystery, an inner life deeper than science will concede, but whatever the true nature of their minds or condition of their souls, they are limited to the wisdom of their kind, and each is shaped by the experiences of its one life."

Kind of have to think about this one

interesting shot from the Hubble

a pair of gravitationally interacting galaxies called Arp 147

Doesn't this looks like a some sort of a shooting game?

PING!
