Our records indicate we have an offdog around here somewhere but we have no clue what that is. ---

OffDog is the UK regulator of all things canine. ---

I’m pretty sure Offdog is related to Updog ---

Since I couldn’t figure out what our offdog was, I reported it destroyed by tidal forces. Shouldn’t be a problem. ---

Excuse me, but the missing item was an “offog” not an “offdog.” Source: “Allamagoosa” by Eric Frank Russell Maybe that’s why you can’t find yours. ---

Don’t know about “Updog”, but I’ve _dogged up_. My sister is visiting, with Doggy in tow. BTW, some dogs might take “Updog” as curse, like “Up yours”. Just sayin’ 😊 ---

It should be “why was the Hey Wolfpup thread started” Only one thing I’d like to say is that I think Wolfpup has the greatest handle of food or food sense of the entire board. I dont care who can cite “the americas test cooking method of brisket… “ or “Kenji Alt’s mac & cheese…”, Wolfpup needs none of that, and shall remain the sole unpitted cafe society (in food) participant in my book. Thank you very much Wolfpup (I’m not going to revive that because 99% of posts in cafe society about food ends up as a recipe swap anyway) ---

> [@DaveUnknown](#): > > Wolfpup needs none of that, and shall remain the sole unpitted cafe society (in food) participant in my book. Do I read you right, and you are (in the privacy of your own mind, if not out on the board) pitting all the rest of us who post in Café Society? If this is true, I feel a need for some kerfuffling.
