Mr. Bubble comes to mind. I miss him.; 10/4/08, 2:47 PM

Our world is always on the edge of chaos but our striving to order our own lives conceals this fact. Occasionally the chaos breaks out, something like a volcano high above a peaceful village, and reminds us of the world's essential nature. Yet we still long for peace and order, and from time to time it returns, again masking history's implacable injustice.; 10/4/08, 3:41 PM

Slipping and sliding and slovenly gliding
And slobbering all over the place.; 10/4/08, 4:17 PM

You're recycling your photos now??

Some Late-Night Calm

Ann Althouse said...: I know I owe a vlog.

Does it help to say that I love the dog name Pee Gordon Piddly?; 10/4/08, 6:03 PM

I want a male English bulldog to name him Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill; 10/4/08, 7:50 PM

Ay, Cubanito. That's the equivalent of an American naming his newly-purchased "British" pub The Buckingham Palace Arms or something too obvious like that.

You need to go the whimsical route. The more obscure, and silly the better.; 10/4/08, 7:51 PM
Ernesto Ariel Suárez said...: If I had a pub, I would name it The Cuban and Crown. I have to respect tradition.

The bulldog thing comes from my admiration (not blind to his many flaws) of Churchill. I think he looked like a bulldog, cigar and all.; 10/4/08, 7:57 PM
vbspurs said...: Clearly, he looked like a Bulldog, even though he himself said that all babies resembled him.

But when was the last time you saw a baby smoking? Apart from on a Van Halen album cover, obviously.; 10/4/08, 8:19 PM

Trooper York said...: If you want to name your bulldog after someone who looks like a Bulldog why don't you call him Helen Thomas?; 10/4/08, 9:00 PM
Asante Samuel said...: I think it's time for another dog scrapple story.; 10/4/08, 9:04 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Or refer to Churchill obliquely as in "Marlboro"; 10/4/08, 9:06 PM
MadisonMan said...: I had a dog named cigarette. He had no legs.

I took him out all the time for a drag.; 10/4/08, 9:24 PM
