I saw that cat on "Stargate."
There are many candidates for the original or ur-shaggy dog story. William and Mary Morris, in The Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins, give a version of it that involves an advertisement being placed in The Times to announce a competition to find the shaggiest dog in the world. After a vast amount of effort and investigation (described in detail, after the nature of this type of story), the winning dog was presented to the aristocratic instigator of the competition, who said: I dont think hes so shaggy.
Ink says Hi!
Oh, Weinie - how you are missed down here..:(
But you jut managed to make me smile -- see??
LOL, yea...just like that. I could see me putting doggie 'Deli Thins' on my pizza :-)
Hope you are doing well, LadyX
Hiya, Lady!
Thanks for the beautiful rainbows. I coulda used one or two today 'cause it's been cloudy all day and the rain just started. I'll have to put these two in my pocket for tomorrow when I go to Atlanta to the doctor. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too. Atlanta freeways in the rain, oh nooooo!
I just love pet day at the Finest. Good job, duchess (and to you, LadyX, for the little hint you sent her way...). Cute critters, all!
I do so pledge.
The poem was super but the pictures were stupendous! A

INTERNATIONAL THINKING AT ITS BEST
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization
Answer: Princess Diana's death
Question: How come?
Answer:
An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American,
using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that use Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is Globalization
