Did you make that up? or is it from a larger work (which I’d love to read/view)?
I’m beginning to second guess his name. More appropriate would have been to name him for the Norse God of Poop…
Now I gotta get into the habit of finding the shovel and sweeping the yard for land mines. Maddy, bless her heart, insists on shitting in the cotton field…
I was just going to ask the same question. This is hilarious! 
In a stunning turn of events, I actually woke up as soon as my alarm went off for the first time. Seriously, this is a change from recent weeks, when I’d be smacking that snooze alarm like it owed me money. It gives me time to have a proper breakfast and, y’know, post here. 
VBob, had I been around I would have suggested the name GUNBJORNE for your new Vunderdog. Because it’s the coolest name ever, and that’s a fact.
swampy, once again I’m forced to wonder what exactly your job is. You go tell those mopheads at FedEx to get their act together.
Pun!
Oh, bobbio, he is so KEEEEE-UTE!!! I am in love. Hey, if he’s a poop machine, it may be his food. What are you feeding? He looks in great shape, though.
swampy, get yerself a bag of frozen peas and apply directly to your lil face. That should help with the swelling.
::sigh:: I had no confusion over the screwdriver. Although I don’t drink them, vodka is my medication of choice. Vanity, however, keeps me in check. Gotta watch those calories.
jahdra, my boy was telling me about that game just yesterday and how hard it is to get the right size furniture for rooms. Y’all are watchin’ too much HGTV. 
taters, the neighbor dog will do fine as a tripod. That’s why God gave dogs three and a spare.
Time to get some cafe au lait.

Morning everybody! I actually read most of your responses yesterday but didn’t feel like posting as it was a very lazy day.
** Bouv ** , you need to go to a zoo. Also, the Boston Aquarium is not an “underwater zoo”. It’s only one of the best aquariums around for miles. And the penguins there are so cute!
Shibboleth, that’s pretty cool, that you have those birds there – I only ever see them in zoos.
Sorry about the racing turtle, Sean. 
Draelin, I found a difference between you and me – I think monkeys are creepy and vaguely sinister.
Chaoticbear, my “oh my” turtle isn’t just any old turtle, it’s an alligator snapping turtle. Sure doesn’t look like it, does it?
Twinks, it couldn’t have been better weather for the zoo Sunday. We were lucky.
Pugs, they had a carousel here, too, but it cost extra money, so I didn’t ride on it.
Rosie, I love peacocks. When I used to go to the Hare Krishna* temple, they used to be all over the place.
pseudotriton ruber rubber, I saw that run! Cool – you were right here!
And Swampy, peacocks DO bite and they hurt. I was getting worried, because the one peacock was right by the gate just looking at everyone and all these kids were clustered around it. As for your “private collection of bears” you should get husbands like Lissa does – only they could be Fuzzy Husband, Hot Husband, etc.
**Taxi **– did you hear the Catskill Game Farm is closing its gates? I have to google it, but I heard it over the weekend.
Faruiza, definitely go to the zoo and show us pics!
Doggie, do you remember what the question was for the Blue Man Group answer on Jeopady?
Also, the best part of the whole zoo I couldn’t take pictures of. We were in the nocturnal creatures section, and there was a kangaroo mouse! Now those darn things are positively adorable already, but this one was on its hind legs, front paws against the glass, and hop-hop-hopping over and over on its hind legs. Bound bound bound bound bound! It was so cute, I wanted to take it home.
For everyone I didn’t say anything to, good morning and i’m not ignoring you! I read every post, honest. HI EVERYONE!
Yeah. Last time I was home everyone was talking about it. I loved all the animals you could feed there. With bottles and stuff as well as the usual pellets. I am very
I’m off to eat pancakes now. It’s part of the fundraising campaign for a very large charity that keeps more money for itself than it really should and which I don’t particularly want to support. But my boss paid for the pancakes so I’m not going to turn them down. That’d just be rude!
You are getting very sleeeeppppyyyy. Sleeeeppppyyyy.
Good morning, everyone! When I got up yesterday, Mr. Lissar was glued to the computer. He stayed pretty solidly glued to it all day, so I couldn’t post. WoW is The NEw Heroin. Very chic.
Don’t mind me- I didn’t get much sleep.
Nava, your family sounds like a joy.
Bob, Loki is cute, but Hrothgar is more manly. [SUB]I have a teeny-weeny stuffed bunny named Hrothgar[/SUB]
The weekend was thoroughly eventful, with dinner out, dancing, Thanksgiving dinner, work, and reading silly novels. It was good. I’m leaving in a moment to grocery shop. My Costco entrace fee will be big, owing to a membership renewal plus needing tonnes of stuff.
snerk Are you going to marry her, too, Sean?
You can count me in, too. Marriage I’m not as scared of, although that thread of Foxy’s really scares the hell out of me. She carried her husband for 8 years and now they are expecting her to give him half of everything she owns - even though he didn’t pay for a penny of it - before she divorces him. Just because they’re married! Things like that are why we’ve been together 10 years and no marriage.
As for kids, my SO’s niece is due to be born next month, so all the pressure’s off me. My future sister-in-law is providing.
“count me in” - as being afraid of marriage, not being hypnotized by Sean. Sorry!
I made a serious suggestion of Hrothgar, but VWife shot it down because she couldn’t pronounce it. Hagar was a brief thought, but my cousin has a boxer named Hagar, so overruled as being taken.
Loki started responding to his new name within a day. The boy is bright…
I was going to ask if you heard about that, too. I never got there when I was growing up upstate but it was always an icon. Makes me sad, too.
Hey, I’m afraid of marriage, and I’m IN one.
Unfortunately, I didn’t make up my sig line. I wish I could take credit for it, but a friend sent it to me in an instant message and I loved it. We have decided that Owl is science officer.
’Mika, that thread kinda bothered me, too. Not only to they want her to give him money he hasn’t earned (I mean, she had to bribe him with expensive musical equipment to get him to watch his own daughter!) but they want her to pay for a lawyer for him! I got slapped down and misquoted when I mentioned she wasn’t his mother, so I’ve just kept out of that thread.
I am one of the “married and scared of it” ones, too. It’s hard sometimes to believe I’ve been married almost 18 years.
As the current slave to two large dogs, I must say that the formula is:
food in < poop out.
Or, more accurately:
poop out = 2x food in
At a minimum. It’s truly impressive. Sounds like Loki is living up to his size.
Meeks, the Jeopardy! clue was in the Stupid Answers category, and the clue was something along the lines of, “It takes an hour for each member of this group to paint his head blue before each performance.” Not exactly a difficult one. But as I recall, it was an $800 question.
I went to bed at 9:00 last night. I thought I was just tired from working too hard on that stupid transcript, but it appears I have come down with some kind of bug. I feel like death not even warmed over today, just kind of stale and ready to be tossed as exceeding my sell-by date. At least the dogs have made my life easy – I don’t know what Papa Tigs did to get them so exhausted at the beach yesterday, but they were bookended on the couch when I got up this morning and didn’t even budge until over an hour later. It’s a rough life, isn’t it?
I took a photo of the rolltop desk we scored from freecycle this weekend. Is it gorgeous or what? It can be used as a computer desk (you can see the slide for the keyboard tray in the foot well), but we’re just going to use it for a regular desk. I love all the nooks and crannies!
I am now going to go back to vegging. Which is about all I’m capable of today. At least it’s a beautiful day so I can enjoy the fresh air as I sit around and do nothing.
Thank you, that made me laugh
I’m glad it wasn’t just me. And FTR, these days I feel the same about a wife. Not, let me point out, a housewife that does her share of the work, and puts in her time, but a lazy free-loading wife like say Belrix’s. We’re all too old to carry someone else.
I’ve had my nap, so I feel a litle bit better.
Meeks, it was from the :Stupid Questions" category:
This musical group take three hour to apply blue paint to their bodies.
OK, I don’t want to hear all this stuff about bad marriages! I’m getting married in 7 1/2 weeks!
Oh, my. I truly do apologize, taxi. I am so sorry. I’m thinking it’s going to be different with you two, though and I’m not just saying that. You two seem very easy and comfy with each other. But then so am I and the SO. I just can’t shake my fear.
