Bubblegum Diaries: Your pet trick of the day

Your pet trick of the day

There's this commercial playing on TV these days for I-forget-what but I do remember there's a dog in it doing amazing back flips. Vegas said it wasn't real, it was digital - but I had seen this crazy stuff before and knew it was!

Youtube has tons of crazy examples,
this poodle is one of my faves:

I mean come ON!
That's just NUTS!

My dogs, in contrast, are giant sleeping blocks of lard. They make great cushions (and can fill cushions from a week's shedding), one is an OK sound alarm while the other is useless, and I suppose they'd eliminate the town's stray cat problem if we let them. They're awesome for us and our lifestyle, what can I say?

At least they're smarter than monkeys:

I hate monkeys.
And clowns.
Shudder.

Today is soggy and depressing. I have to drive to the city to drop off a rooster - the lady who's buying him is meeting me half-way, he's going to a very good home so it's worth the drive - and then meeting one of my long-lost girlie-girls for lunch at her place. At least that's one bright light in this otherwise dreary day.

Hoping your day is filled with cookies and rum-soaked stockings!

Anke said...: That dog is amazing! Not really a poodle person, but that was awesome. Our lab mix doesn't do much (loves to nap) but our border collie will chase ceiling fans for hours. She even jumped up and touched one before, guess that's a trick of some sort... Wet and depressing there? It's about 100 again here and nobody wants to go outside...; August 03, 2010 3:49 PM
jo.irish.rose said...: techno, i know that commercial! it is for air freshener that plugs in the wall, tres corny, n'est pas? oui... anyhoo, i am wishing we had a gloomy day, somehow i feel more productive on those kind of days. it is cooler, the sun is not glaring at me, (i get migraines when in bright light for a long time) but we live near the ocean, so it has been hot, hot and steamy, so a nice rain would do us good. can anyone say hurricaine? lol i know....sick...but i love a good storm, just like my sister, C, as long as no one is hurt or anything is damaged....i just love the sound of it, and the coolness that comes after, the smells, the freshness, the cleansing, well....i hope you have a good rain, and maybe you can come visit the heat and beach sometime, eh? vous etes bienvunus!

Property is theft. Nobody “owns” anything. When you die, it all stays here.

The planet is fine. The people are fucked.

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.
“When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?” This title offends all three major religions, and even vegetarians!

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, “Fuck waffles.”

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

I’m always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I’m listening to it.

Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin’ ready to hang himself.

If all our national holidays were observed on Wednesdays, we could wind up with nine-day weekends.

Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

“No comment” is a comment.

You can’t argue with a good blowjob.

So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.

worst pickup lines

Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?

I may not be the best looking guy here, but I'm the only one talking to you.

I'd like to screw your brains out, but it appears that someone beat me to it.

If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous.

I wish you were a Pony Carousel outside Walmart, so I could ride you all day long for a quarter.

Excuse me, do you have your phone number, I've seem to have lost mine.

I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.

Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.

Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

A fool and his money are soon partying.

Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

not the sharpest bulb in the closet?

A few peas short of a casserole.

An experiment in Artificial Stupidity.

An intellect rivalled only by garden tools.

As much use as a hedgehog in a condom factory.

As much use as a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest.

As useful as a wooden frying pan.

As useful as tits on a bull.

Dumb as a stump.

He's got a mind like a steel sieve.

His cheese has slipped off his cracker.

His porch light ain't on.

If brains were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Like a pair of children’s scissors, bright and colorful, but not too sharp.

Million dollar body and a 2 dollar engine.

Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse.

Room temperature IQ.

Was left on the tilt-a-whirl too long as a baby.
