Funny Stories, All Things Considered

For a quick take-off from the NRA creedo - guns don't kill people, dogs with guns kill people.

I found this story on Yahoo News, and HAD to share it!

By msnbc.com staff

 

It's happened again: A hunting dog has shot its master.

This time, a man in Florida was hit in the thigh by a round from his Remington .308 on Saturday, TBO.com reported.

The culprit was a bulldog named Eli. Authorities told TBO.com that Billy E. Brown, 78, was driving to go deer hunting with a friend on a bumpy road in Pasco County near Tampa when Eli "got excited in the truck" and bumped the rifle. The gun discharged, the bullet hit Brown in the right thigh, and he was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, said Officer George Wells, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Brown's condition was not released.

Wells said Brown and the friend were about one-and-a-half miles into the woods when the accident -- if you're buying that the dog didn't mean to do that -- occurred. 

The name of Brown's friend was not released. The two have been hunting together for more than 25 years, Wells told TBO.com.

This incident follows one Dec. 1 in which a hunter in Utah was hit in the buttocks by birdshot after his dog stepped on a shotgun laid across the bow of a boat. The Salt Lake City Tribune said the wounded hunter had 27 pellets removed from ... well, you know.

Man's Best Friend. Yeah, right.   :)

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

I have NO idea what these lyrics mean. I've heard the fella's of the house give thier opinions, but nothing was ever decided.


I just like the title!

Someone give me an umbrella!

 

Rain Dogs

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh, how we danced with the
Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you
Whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
You'll never be going back home

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

When a Dog Meets a Dog on a Leash

Yes, someone did a study on dog-walking aggression by sex (owner and dog). There's some good reasoning here, it's kind of a good read. As for me, I just don't like being sniffed there, leash or not.

Guess I'm just weird that way.

Static Dog

So you want a dog. What kind? Are you "on the go" a lot? Are you an older person that, perhaps, doesn't want a dog that will wear you out? Do you have young children that have never been around a dog before? What about health issues? Most breeds can develop breed-specific illnesses over the years.

"Dogs 101"  is a show on the Animal Planet that hilights each breeds specific character traits. This show is GREAT for deciding which breed is best for you and your family. You can click on this link to YouTube to see clips from some of their shows.

Oh, the things people do to their dogs! If I was a long-haired dog, I'm sure my owner, Mr. Bill, would have done this to me!
