What?!?! You're not watching the Packers pound the Seahawks? Or is it the Seahawks pounding the Packers? My husband's groans from the TV room seem to indicate the latter.

What?!?! You're not watching the Packers pound the Seahawks?

No TV. No cable. And very happy about it, thank you very much.

We have been cable-free for many years. And very happy about it, thank you very much.

Hi Lisa, please bump me to 200K.

Thanks,

Lee -- looks like I missed your initial goal there -- sorry! You're on board now!

It's a rainy, gloomy day in my corner of New York. I've finished a 60' row and am taking some down time away from work, chores, and important, life critical endeavors. A glass of wine, some quiet music, and our dog, Dee Dee D'Froshus, who's patiently waiting for the rain to stop so she can go outside to play.

Good looking pup, by the way! Did she ever get to go out and play?

[Izzzmeister]

Um, Dude, this is practice for sculling, NOT skulling!

[CONLEJM]

What?!?! You're not watching the Packers pound the Seahawks? Or is it the Seahawks pounding the Packers? My husband's groans from the TV room seem to indicate the latter.

(I loves me some Oatmeal!!)

That Oatmeal comic reminds me of something Glen once posted, which I thought hilarious:

Ah now you've done it. I read that posting just after reading something a friend posted elsewhere. It's his version of the playoffs, and now I just have to share it:

oh man did you all see the socially positive televised sporting events today? they were so amazing!! There was the team and the other team and they played against each other and everyone was like "WOW, THE BALL!!" and the other team was like, "OH NO!!!" and the players ran and threw and fell and spit, and OMG that one play with the penalty and the fans cheered and the scores happened and PLAYOFFS and SUPERBOWL YAYYY!!! I almost forgot about the coach and the ball when the teams were like "we want the ball" and the other team was like "we want the ball" and then they were like "WE have more points, BOOM, where are my millions?" and budweiser was like "here are your millions, don't spend them all on cocaine... ah who are we kidding, snort away, you're on tv"

[Izzzmeister]

...and our dog, Dee Dee D'Froshus

I now realize that the next time the UN convenes a conference on the Rights of the House Pet, it's not enough that I recommend they set up a 9-judge panel to decide which people's "doggy voice" should be made illegal.
It's obvious that they must also set up a mechanism by which large dogs can bring grievances against their owners for giving them names more appropriate for poodles!

I will have you know, sir, that our ferocious Doberman is aptly named...

[damselfly]

I bet she's a good watchdog -- "Set foot in this house, and I'll stick my tiara in your eye!! I dare ya!"

[The Blacksmith]

Or she just watches robbers come in, and watches them leave...
