- Other than my own dog while playing...never. And you mention the weiner dog... - Jim Sep 23, 08:59 3

    - Go with a Corgi. They are magic. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 09:04
  - Yeah....he was a vicious little effer. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:59

  - But iPhones are so much sexier, dontcha know -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 09:02
  - It has to be your first order online - BB Sep 23, 09:00 1
    - I have 7 or 8, so far. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 09:02
I was in a shop today during my break, buying a shirt, and the guy at the checkout starts raving to me about wasteful government expenses that's been - Loyola Sep 23, 08:49
Big Picture: Sydney -- (link) - oblique Sep 23, 08:49 3
- Wow, some of those are really something. I like #14. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 08:51 2
  - it's even worse than the great plague of chazzwazzers -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Sep 23, 08:54 1
    - and #18 is just plain freaky -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Sep 23, 08:56

    - "You're majoring in a 4000 year old dead language? .... Here, Latin, best I can do." -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:53 6
      - Latin doesn't have much application in the real world, but it sure helps on the SATs - BB Sep 23, 08:55 2
        
        Knowing English is a much easier way to do well on the SATs. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:56 1
        
        Fortunately I had a pretty good grip on English already. -- nm - BB Sep 23, 09:01
      - "Don't be that guy" -- nm - MDH Sep 23, 08:54
      - Heh. (kudos) -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 08:54 1
        
        That's likely my favorite mini-scene of mine from the movie. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:57
- *buys everything in the store and then opens up next door to Downtown Comics* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:48 4
  - HA! you might find this interesting.... - Remlik Sep 23, 08:56 1
    - Oh, I know. Anything interesting offered? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:58
  - It won't matter. DC is just a front anyway. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 08:49 1

  - Got a gold account, have berys tag. I'll look for others in his list. -- nm - lileve Sep 23, 08:47

- She gives Hump a bad name... -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 08:39
- Well done. I think HD has been ruined for this week. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 23, 08:38 2
  - hopefully permanently. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 08:40 1
    - Not a fan? -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:41
Sorry for the Boston example Jim. I'm just going by personal experience at the dog park here. - Shaun Sep 23, 08:34 2
- Our Boston is also a noist little bastard. Course, he can't see any other dogs, so it's only when people come over that he gets all riled up. - Jim Sep 23, 08:35 1
  - I get really pissed at some owners at the park who just brings their dogs, go sit on a bench and text for the whole time. Not paying attention at all - Shaun Sep 23, 08:43
[deleted] 3
- Road Trip! -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 08:36 1
  - Yeah!! Roadtr...wait. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 23, 08:37
- Saucy birds! Also, Lucy Pinder, may I buy you a drink? -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 23, 08:35
They're not banning these breeds of dogs from the world...just from the public housing. You wanna have a Rott... - Jim Sep 23, 08:29 51
- Oh sure, they can just move to Westchester of Beverly Hills. Why didn't they think of that before? Duh!! -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:37 24
  - OK, this was a dumb post. What I'm saying is: how easy would it be for them to find and move to a hood that's nice enough where they don't need a gua - con_carne Sep 23, 08:38 21
    - I gotta wonder about someone who can drop $500 on a dog, while living in public housing? - Jim Sep 23, 08:42 16
      - well, these aren't exactly purebreds we're talking about here, $500 might be a bit on the high side... - znufrii Sep 23, 08:46 1
        
        People get them rather cheap at the shelter, for free from Craigslist or free from a friend. The only expense is food, vet visits which aren't often - Krusty Sep 23, 08:56
      - I don't know about the cost, but what I'm saying is that these dogs are often not a luxury item, but for safety -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:45 2
        
        no, usually they are a projection of the person's personality -- nm - zork Sep 23, 08:47 1
        
        You and I are talking about two very different types of dog owners -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:49
      - and afford to keep it fed... -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 08:43 10
        
        ayup. And what about the dog itself? How healthy is it for a big ass dog to be kept in a little ass apartment? -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 08:44 9
        
        And schools. What are people in housing projects doing with shitty schools? And banks. Why don't projects hurry up and get banks to set up shop? - con_carne Sep 23, 08:48 5
        
        My point was that there are several reasons for big dogs to be banned from public housing... - Jim Sep 23, 08:56
        
        Rich or poor, an apartment is not the place to have a large breed dog. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 08:54
        
        did you drink a gallon of dumb as shit milk this morning? -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:50 2
        
        Just trying to follow Jim's point -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:52 1
        
        Jim's point made sense, for starters. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:54
        
        That's a great concern for sure. -- nm - Shaun Sep 23, 08:46 2
        
        I initially thought the policy was made for humaneness to the animals. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:47
        
        And are dogs that are cooped up like that more likely to go insane than a dog that say... - Jim Sep 23, 08:47
    - Screw the dog, buy a gun! -- nm - NRA Sep 23, 08:39 3
      - Dude, if the housing authority so much as even *thought* of banning guns, the NRA would cause such a media shit storm. -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:40 2
        
        Given that the Housing Authority would be overstepping their authority big time, the NRA would have every right to. -- nm - TWuG Sep 23, 08:42 1
        
        How dare you rationally defuse my gun hatey??? :-) -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:50
  - Life, Liberty, and any size dog you want! -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:38 1
    - "I have a right to be pursued by wild dogs." -- nm - Loyola Sep 23, 08:44
- I don't think they should be banning dogs based on size or breed, it should be based on whether or not that specific dog posed a danger or threat to - Krusty Sep 23, 08:36 22
  - I doubt they have the staff to review every dog. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:36 21
    - I bet they could find the staff if they wanted to or were forced to. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 08:38 20
      - they wouldn't have to, just require anyone who hasn't already registered their pet to get it certified by a vet as healthy and well-behaved - znufrii Sep 23, 08:41 6
        
        can people in public housing really afford vet visits? - ty97 Sep 23, 08:46 4
        
        subsidize it at city shelters. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 08:47 3
        
        yo, on the real? these are pets. animals. not people. governments should not subsidize pets. end of story. - TFox Sep 23, 08:49 2
        
        precisely. I'm all for government helping to provide essentials to those in need in society. - ty97 Sep 23, 08:50 1
        
        in any case, shelters do not have enough money for their current operating costs. -- nm - zork Sep 23, 08:51
        
        Best idea yet. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 08:43
      - yes cause everyone wants their tax dollars spent so someone can keep a giant dog in their house -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 08:40
      - Only way they're review per dog is after the dog commits the action; at which point.....sorry about the victim's luck. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:39 3
        
        I really doubt they are going to bother going to every project, kicking out the nice dogs. It will give them grounds for removal if something happens. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:40 2
        
        Which truly should be a moot point anyhow, if a dog snaps, dog should be removed at that point anyhow. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:52 1
        
        yes -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:53
      - Do you want your taxes funding all those extra dog checkers? - ty97 Sep 23, 08:39 7
        
        *sheds a crocodile tear* -- nm - Richard Nixon Sep 23, 08:42 1
        
        Go feed Checkers. - BB Sep 23, 08:50
        
        I'm sure they could find the money if they thought it was worth it. It being cheaper and more efficient isn't better than fixing the policy. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 08:41 4
        
        We're talking government money here, so your money. Sure, they could find it. Do you want them to? - ty97 Sep 23, 08:45
        
        it's not worth it though. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 08:42 2
        
        exactly. -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 08:43
        
        hell no -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 08:42
- and they're not banning just those breeds, but any that grows to over 25 lbs. - znufrii Sep 23, 08:30 2
  - Which would back up the "too big for the apartment" argument. Not to mention... - Jim Sep 23, 08:33 1
    - yup, my concern is more with how the policy has been implemented, than the policy itself. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 08:34
Palin trashes Obama in Hong Kong, provides further proof that she doesn't really know what she's talking about. -- (link) - znufrii Sep 23, 08:27 5
- "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer." - BB Sep 23, 08:47
- Good Christ she's an idiot. I don't care what Obama does or doesn't do...his term will be worth it if only for keeping her out of our government. -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 08:32
- "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom," -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 08:28
- Palin! Palin! Palin! -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 08:27 1
  - Still see the bumper stickers. Mind-boggling. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 23, 08:36
Cuzzin Todd is smart. I think insurance is exactly right. And Beaker's joke about Sydney = funny -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:26 9
- Did you lose a bet? -- nm - BB Sep 23, 08:52
- except you can ask for continuance of insurance coverage as a part of the divorce. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 08:29 4
  - Unless that's a federal law, I'm guessing the ability varies widely -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:30 3
    - possibly. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 08:31 2
      - but I know that one of the sections on the divorce filing I had to fill out asked if either party was requesting the other to continue health coverage - znufrii Sep 23, 08:33 1
        
        so NY law perhaps? - ty97 Sep 23, 08:37
- *bookmarks post* - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 08:27 2
  - Jiggle the wires. -- nm - Loyola Sep 23, 08:28 1
    - Ouch! - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 08:33
has Stacy been around lately? -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 23, 08:25 1
- maybe she's in hiding during the recent crackdown on the gay mafia by FODeral agents. -- nm - zork Sep 23, 08:46
What an ass... if you know what I mean! -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 08:24 5
- [deleted]
- Thanks. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 08:25
- Thanks! I've been working out! -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 08:25
- Thanks! I just had it stuffed! nm -- nm - Jack Daswon Sep 23, 08:25 1
