- Remember those strange underwater dog photos that went viral last month? Turns out the photographer is getting the success he deserves (which often doesn’t happen with ‘Net phenomena) and sharing his goodness with shelter dogs. (Tip o’ hat to F.)
- Unlike, for instance, killer PETA. The most over-crowded and hectically run big-city pound is better for animals than those creeps.
- The true prices of things.
- This came from S. with a one-word comment: Eeeewwwwwww.
- Elegant solution: post-earthquake container housing. (H/T MSJ.)
- One of those small, strange stories that comes along every once in a while (and makes writers want to produce explanations).
- “First We Conquer Iceland.” I mentioned the other day that Icelanders are thinking about adopting the Canadian Loonie as their official currency. Wendy McElroy has a nice, light-hearted take on it. I don’t know how far this will go, but it seems strange that nobody in the mainstream is noticing that the only country to bounce back from its self-caused financial catastrophe is considering adopting a non-U.S. (and for that matter, non Euro, currency to replace its homegrown.
This is probably just as copyrighted as copyrighted can be, so I’ll take it down it anybody protests. But TS sent this in light of my recent Neighbor from Hell problems and it was too funny not to post. Prolly won’t be trying that technique any time soon.
YES! for the photographer. And then helping shelter dogs to boot?? Fantastic. The shelter dogs PETA apparently does not put much effort into finding homes for. A bit of feel good to help the sad PETA story.
Amen, JS. And PETA doesn’t just fail to put effort into finding homes. They’ve got a history of taking animals in and killing them immediately — which is a crime in most places (when you’re talking about picking up strays).
Even the worst big-city shelters have “only” about a 50 percent kill rate these days, and even some of those have gone to no-kill or minimal-kill philosophies. One nearby government-funded shelter that our group sometimes deals with even has a noted pit-bull rehabilitation program! (Whereas 20 years ago that same shelter might simply have killed all pit-looking dogs just as normal routine.)
PETA’s agenda is so sickening that only the most naive animal rescuers will have anything to do with them.
Maxine is one of my favorite day brighteners. A niece sends me these regularly. And no, dancing naked would be going much too far for me as well. Talk about indecent exposure! LOL
Kudos to the photographer, and PETA sucks. Yay for Iceland.
I thought about your neighbors from Hell while reading about a guys solution to a similar problem.
He parked his tractor at the property line, aimed his high beams at the party, and went back to bed.
The music stopped within the hour.
If that doesn’t work, stereo wars is next, Rap music vs. Beethoven.
I have lost stereo wars like that, it really is no fun.
The only trouble with the old lady dancing solution is, they might like it.
“The only trouble with the old lady dancing solution is, they might like it.”
So might she. So what’s the problem? 🙂 (Sorry — couldn’t resist.)

Ha, funny, Pat.
