    "So you've heard?" I was there too, remember? Lighting guy # 2?

    Were you ever able to forget that weird smell in that studio?

    Speaking of smells - I burnt out half a dozen TTL chips a few days ago, all in one fell swoop. It smelled pretty bad.

    Stupid power supply...

    Border collies are nice dogs.

    I wonder if they could be used to help patrol our borders? At least one of which is a sieve, with, apparently, the tacit approval of our elected leaders and captains of industry.

    Probably have to augment them with better eyes and ears. Turn them into cyborder collies...

    Cyborder collies probably wouldn't qualify for the AKC. The AKC is being pretty picky. They won't touch goldendoodles. I can't believe they're breeding poodles and golden retrievers but the puppies are darn cute!

    I agree that sounds like a travesty against nature! My golden will be kept away from all poodles- toy, standard, or coup!

    I stepped in a poodle the other day, it got my sock wet and everything. I hate when that happens.

    You got your one sock wet? You never told us you had a wooden leg!

    By the way, wooden legs seems very handy. It'll help you stay floating should you fall overboard, you can use it as a bat, extra campfire wood etc etc.

    Well, we sabre fencers are clever, you see. If we step in a poodle with one foot, we don't just go ahead and step into it with the other as well.

    This may be a concept which perplexes epeeists, of course.

    I refer to my dogs as "poodles" when they do something dumb.

    And I hate the AKC, which is just a front organization for puppy mills and people who ruin working dogs by breeding them for looks, rather than brains and ability.
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    AKC, huh? I heard they weren't allowed to use the full name now because it's not really chicken any more. But ground puppy? That's going too far. Goodness knows what McDonalds use now; Soylent happy meals, perhaps? Puts a whole new meaning into Big Mac, d'ye ken.

    Maybe THAT's what Taco Bell is putting in their burritos. By the way, whatever happened to that talking chihuahua?

    I keep waiting and hoping that the movie "George and the Dragon" will finally be released in the US. What's the hold-up, anyway? James Purefoy's all over HBO now in "Rome", so by now he must have some sort of following here besides *me*. And it can't be half as bad as most of the drivel we see coming out of Hollywood. Anybody know where I might get a bootleg of it?

    Was the talking chihuahua in that movie? Otherwise, I'm not interested in seeing it.

    My last dog use to open his mouth along small dogs as if he was sizing them up when they were too yappy... it was quite funny... I swear that dog had a sense of humour!

    Isn't it cool how some animals have senses we don't have? My favorites are the electrical-field sensors of some underwater animals. And the pit viper's pits, actually infrared eyes, always make me think of that movie "Predator."
