To the moon, troll, to the moon!

The only Greyhounds I’ve met were buses. *\;-P

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The four legged variety smells better. :)

[sionnsar]

I dunno... ever sat close to the tailpipe of a bus?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Many a time I have sat in my Mini while the bus in front of me churned out black diesel smoke

[sionnsar]

Yah, car and bicycle both. But at least the bus doesn't shake water off its fur onto you. *\;-)

Thread seems slow tonight. And I'm about to slow it down more...

[NicknamedBob]

"... at least the bus doesn't shake water off its fur onto you."

It's always entertaining to watch a mini-glacier fly off the top of a tractor-trailer on the highway.

Water puddles on top of the truck. Then it freezes. As the truck rumbles along the Interstate, the sheet of razor-sharp pond surface loosens, catches some air, and whoopee! An ice scimitar is heading for somebody's neck-bone!

Looks pretty, too. So serene, so graceful, so harmlessly smashed to smithereens on the highway ... usually.

Slow as in Plate Tectonic Movements or dinner when your hungry?

[sionnsar]

Slow as in I’m headed off to bed.

...Obama voters are hard pressed to keep 90% of the fluid stream aimed at the urinal,...

Out at various rest stop and gas station bathrooms along the highways I've traveled, it has never been a comfort to me to observe that several previous visitors to the facility had each somehow managed to pilot their 2-ton vehicular missiles however many hundred miles through the boonies to that location, and walk 25 feet from their car door to the loo, only to entirely miss the urinal at point-blank range.

I figured if I ever ran a gas station I'd electrify the bathroom floor at strategic locations. Really high voltage; fairly low current. Some chowder head gets lazy and next thing he knows he's got a glowing sack of hot plasma and a freaky blue-white arc like the bolt from a Tesla coil jumping up from the floor doing the "Dr. Shrinker" routine in his Fruit Of The Looms.

Of course, to be fair, I'd post a warning sign:
God is happy with my nice, clean bathroom. You'd best keep it that way.

Good morning! The greyhound project is pending her making a real effort at finding a job. However, we’re “approved” by the placement organization, so when DP agrees and a suitable dog is available, we can get one.

The visiting dog was taller than Vlad.

[NicknamedBob]

"The visiting dog was taller than Vlad."

That's why I said, "appearances notwithstanding".

When walking, greyhounds move their legs more in the manner of a thoroughbred racehorse than a regular dog.

Good luck to Anoreth on the job search.

[Tax-chick]

It was very bony. I don’t think Vlad would try to sit on one.

[Anoreth]

I’ve been making a ‘real effort’, since last summer. Nobody will hire me.

[Tax-chick]

Different definitions of “real effort.” Don’t you have a class?

[NicknamedBob]

There is a difference between “Nobody will hire”, and “Nobody will hire me”.

You can control one of these things.

I thought you were interested in working with animals. Sometimes you have to take a job just for the experience.

I’ll bet Lou needs extra holiday help in the shoe store! (LOUD HINT!)

And here’s a movie review:

I couldn’t get all the way through it because I was getting queasy (at the story, not the review itself :-).

[Dead Corpse]

Somewhere, Zeus is smiling at you right now... ;-)

[Dead Corpse]

Perseverance pays off.

Ok... it does for me, but I'm fairly obstinate, egotistical, and arrogant as well.

Perfect! Would you like to give Anoreth a job? She’s good with computers and has a compatible personality!
