Its a Dangerous Week.

I have feelings of concern for this week. I got a weird sliver. This morning I read to the listeners of WYCE about the microchips the Humane Society puts into pets nowadays when you adopt. If that concept causes concern for anyone, take it from me: I know from personal experience that inserting microchips could not be so bad for the pets. My sliver looks kind of gross through the fingernail but it is starting to settle in and I think that within a couple of more days I will be used to it and will forget it is there.
I e-bayed "slivers" this morning, wondering if some crazy fan of Bruce Campbell or the like is currently trying to auction off a celebrity sliver. I found that the word "sliver" is often a typo in place of the word "silver." I cant imagine ever posting an ad on ebay with a typo, or even more so actually buying something from an ad with a significant typo in the title line. The most interesting typo I saw on ebay was "black & sliver bra and thong set" (ebay item #5405273745, starting bid $1.50). If I were in the market for used black and silver underwear I would definitely pass on the typo ad. If ya cant even get the listing right, Im not buying your underwear.
Current bids: 0
Shipping insurance: not offered.


Its a dangerous week.

The guy does do a good Elvis... 

Why does the guy like his damned dog so much?!?

There are so many freakin' dog photos on this blog...why?

Im talking about myself here, and that's a valid question with a valid answer...
Theres nothing like waking up in the middle of the night in the summer with sweat covering your body and the evening breeze blowing small black and white dog hairs around the room, where they stick and wave around in the wind, causing the sensation to a half-conscious person of ants crawling over one's body. Yes, its the peak of sheddin' season and that time of year to remember why I even keep the old hair factory I named Mulligan STU around. Something I like...hmm...well, I like that he lets us do stuff to him without complaining. Thus the photos (prior posts). I like that he howls instead of barks. I like the game we invented where he "stays" in the kitchen and we hide a treat in the livingroom for him to sniff out of hiding. And I like the fact that whenever I swear he comes over to comfort me. Despite the puss in his driver side ear, the big fleshy lump on his chest, the $250 pair of shoes he chewed and the claw marks on the leather, I am fan of the STU.
