Horse-cubs are perfectly normal, what's the problem?  Like blackbird's calves.

 :D I love it when there's such blatant evidence that the printing on a package wasn't done anywhere that's familiar with the correct language.

Heck, I'm sure that some of our members living in, say, Norway or Sweden or something occasionally laugh when they come across badly translated English packaging that butchers their own languages!

Watching Man vs Food and I am half horrified and the other half of me wants to eat everything on the show. Really want a pulled pork sandwich, with mac n cheese and fries now.

That show constantly swings between being the most horrible/awesome thing I've ever seen. I really liked the first couple seasons. The most recent ones are kind of depressing because it's obvious that the show has impacted Adam's health.

I agree.  I think that's why he doesn't do the challenges himself any more.  I suspect that his doctor told him to cease and desist.

CO is burning!  Google Hewlett Fire.  When we landed at DIA this morning, the smoke was really thick even there, like 60 miles away from the fire.  I'm worried about T and Husband; smoke aggravates their asthma.   :(

Hard to say, I'm tempted to ask whether that is his best angle but I won't.
I don't think I'm qualified to judge, I seem to lack an appreciation for horse rears. There are probably all manner of technical issues which need to be considered of which I'm totally ignorant.

I'd love to see pictures of you ladies in the matching shirts! I'm glad she's back, too! Did she have a good visit there? :)

YES!!!!!

Buddy

Wow, have I got a story for you guys!


I was walking my Doberman in town today, which is something I usually don't do but I needed to pick an order up from the bookstore. Well as we were walking home this guy comes out of an alley with a knife and proceeds to demand my money. Having just paid for my order I had only roughly a dollar. Well, the dude took another step towards me and Athena (doberman) started growling and lunged at the guy ready to rip him a new one. Guy took off. I ran into the nearest store and called the police and my mother. I just can't stop thinking about how lucky I was that I had Athena with me. I have now fully forgiven her for the whole face biting incident.

Ho shit, budhorse.  Glad to hear you're okay!  If there's one thing a Doberman is, it's protective.  My mom's Dobie is dumber than a sack of hammers and generally sweet, but he'd rip your face off if you tried to go after someone in the family.

But really...who the fuck picks the person walking a Doberman to try to mug?  World's dumbest criminals fodder, for sure.

Oh yikes, Buddy! That must have been scary! So glad you had her with you. GOOD dobie! Hope she gets a treat for that.

I'm really glad you're OK!!

And agreed. Of all the people to pick... he picks the woman with the doberman. Realllll smart, that.  ::)

Got to second that one!  I'm also glad you're OK, Buddy, and that Athena has made it up to you for that earlier unpleasantness.
