That's what the orders said they should say.; 2/16/19, 8:14 AM

How dumb is she? In New York the blondes tell AOC jokes.

In Texas the Aggies tell Beto jokes.; 2/16/19, 8:19 AM
rhhardin said...: Muggs died quite suddenly one night. Mother wanted to bury him in the family lot under a marble stone with some such inscription as "Flights of angels sing thee to they rest" but we persuaded her it was against the law. In the end we just put up a smooth board above his grave along a lonely road. On the board I wrote with an indelible pencil "Cave Canem." Mother with quite pleased with the simple classic dignity of the old Latin epitaph.

His mother always felt that the dog meant well.; 2/16/19, 8:20 AM

Joel Winter said...: I've noticed that "people" have an odd proclivity to add quotation marks in unnecessary places. I'm old enough to have perused my share of actual paper Yellow Pages, and I noticed that on every page there seemed to be at least one set of quotation marks--necessary or not. It almost seemed like there was an algorithmic ("algorhythimic?") REQUIREMENT that each page have two quotation marks. Glad to see that the tradition lives elsewhere....; 2/16/19, 8:26 AM

Quaestor said...: "algorhythimic?"

Incorrect usage, Joel. That word refers to global warming dance moves.; 2/16/19, 8:44 AM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: it was put there by cats at 2 am wearing MAGA hats, using Canine slurs.

well, ok, it was dogs--Nigerian dogs-- but it's still basically true; 2/16/19, 9:06 AM

Ann Althouse said...: I feel like I've seen a movie or comic where a beast that is not a dog is called a dog.

Anyone know what it could be?

I also think there are comic things where a beast that's not a house cat is called a "kitty." "Here, kitty, kitty" — for a leopard or something.

I know "Bringing Up Baby."; 2/16/19, 9:45 AM

@Althose, there was s kids’ movie a few years ago where an alien from outer space is disguised as a dog, but I never saw it and don’t recall it’s name.; 2/16/19, 10:20 AM
Big Mike said...: The apostrophe in its was put there by autocorrect. My high school teacher would make autocorrect sorry it had ever been compiled.; 2/16/19, 10:22 AM

I'm walkin' all around the town
Singin' all the people down
Talkin' around, talkin' around.
Me and my cat named Dog
Are walkin' high against the fog
Singin' the sun
Singin' the sun
Happy, sad and crazy wonder
Chokin' up my mind with perpetual dreamin'...
I'm driftin' up and down the street
Searchin' for the sound of people
Swingin' their feet, swingin' their feet
Dog is a good old cat
People what you think of that?
That's where I'm at, that's where I'm at.
Happy, sad and crazy wonder
Chokin' up my mind with perpetual dreamin'...
Dog is a good old cat
People what you think of that?
That's where I'm at, that's where I'm at, that's where I'm at.; 2/16/19, 12:54 PM
