I’d rather be pissed off than pissed on. ---

Being a mutt, I prefer to woof. Woof! Woof! (That’s my other dog impression) ---

Yeah, maybe not so much of the dog(on) stuff. Everything has bee getting steadily less Sirius for the last 20 years. 5 years from now, it will be at its least Sirius, before it all starts to cycle back toward being more Sirius. Relish the silliness while you can. ---

Oh, **eschereal** , now you’ve gone and done it; a little Sunday morning research, has turned up the following: Sirius is the **DOG STAR** ; actually a binary system (a white dwarf star circles the bigger one), it’s the brightest star in our sky, and even though it\*\* is\*\* getting closer to us, it will take 60,000 years (or roughly the time getting one package mailed at the Post Office) for it to get as close as it will before moving on–nevertheless (a 10-cent word), it will continue to be the brightest star in Earth’s sky for the next 210,000 years. Plenty of silly time left. It’s good to be a mutt. ---

Yeah, well don’t forget the **Cat’s Eye Nebula** , with its knots, jets, bubbles and sinewy arc-like features. What is sillier than knotted bubbles? ---

> [@swampspruce](#): > > A [squirrel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awp7v1YIgps&feature=share) and his nuts… **CK** , I saw this and immediately thought you might appreciate it… 😃 This was the [first sex act I witnessed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzh8sdB0_eo), as a third grader on a field trip to the Houston Zoo. None of us knew what was going on, but we knew it was something significant when our teacher immediately rushed us to the next exhibit. ---
