Once, the Displaced Dog and I were hanging out at a coffee shop and this guy, without asking a single question about him, told me that he was going to call the SPCA and report me for animal abuse. Apparently, he knew better than I did that the Displaced Dog's dreadlocks were torture. (The Displaced Dog ignored him. He was too busy enduring the agony of eating a scone.) I explained that the dreads are natural, that I don't have anything to do with their development, that it hurts him more to have them brushed out, and the one time he was shaved/clipped, he hid under the bed for six months. I further explained that I regularly bathe the DD, that he gets better healthcare than I do, that his skin is fine and he's never shown a single iota of discomfort in his life, except the time he cut a paw trying to get into someplace he shouldn't have been going. Several other people around me piped in that they'd seen pulis on the dog shows and on the Odelay album cover and other places (this was before the Budweiser commercial). The guy kept on insisting that I was doing terrible things to my dog. Eventually, he left in a huff, and all of the other people around came up to tell me what an asshole he was and how awesome the DD was. The DD got another scone.

(Incidently, I trimmed the DD's fur a few inches two nights ago because it was dragging the ground. To hear the DD tell it, THAT was torture.)

You shouldn't let them smoke so much pot.

If anything, kids should be monitored and managed LESS. I got a call from some vile little shit from my alma mater recently asking me about law as a career. I asked the kid about how campus was and about the social scene these days and the kid had nothin. Nothin. H'ed lived in a fucking cave. All he had to tell me was about what club he belonged to and his achievements. no sports, no fraternities. Just another douchebag from the tony burbs molded, directed, mindfucked and led like a fucking sheep into a career.

What the hell is the difference?

Both are a messy and unnecessary pain in the ass.

Imagine you are 2.

Who on this board would you like to have for a parent?

I think his answer probably changes if you make him younger and still breastfeeding.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. The paigow must increase, but I must decrease.

This is too bad. RP was hoping for a jewish carpenter and she's going to get a goy princess instead.

I think everyone here wants to be dtb's kid(s). We can look passed the weird underwear issues.

I meant it as a general question. And plenty of 2 year olds still breastfeed...

You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance.

Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.

Hi!

Is it like the chip in the Displaced Dog's neck that tells the pound to send him home to me instead of putting him up for adoption/euthanizing him if he gets lost?

Yup. And with GPS you can make sure they aren't partying when they should be in choir practice.

Whoever is tracking me for the database, please add "reviewing a draft bill after the dude who ate something greasy for lunch or dinner and who got smears all over it."

I'm all about the multitasking, but Jesus H. Christ, don't be such a slob.

Fucker. I'm writing off a bunch of his time.

That's a good poll two-part poll, actually. An unnamed poster and I had this argument long ago.

1. Post any good stories you have of someone minding your business, when they should have kept their noses out of it.

2. What is it about people that makes them so fucking nosy and meddlesome?

When I argued with another poster about it long ago, I thought growing up in NYC (or any city (hi plf!)) teaches you the virtues of minding your own business. Hell, I think it's common courteousy. This other poster seemed to think that the size and nature of their family granted them the freedom to mind everyone else's business (I think, who listens?). Anyone else have theories?

Thurgreed(wow, that post got away from me)Marshall

I agree that you've got to mind your own bees' wax. [ASIDE: In fact, yesterday, I was buying stamps at a machine, and the guy ahead of me put in a $20 bill only to realize that the Christmas stamps he wanted were sold out -- and the machine doesn't return change without a purchase. I was standing behind him and said, "Here, take my $20, I don't care about the x-mas stamps, I'll take the ones with the flags." He asked me how much I was going to spend on stamps, and my first reaction was (and I said), "What does it matter?" He was only trying to be nice, because he didn't want me to buy $2 worth of stamps and be stuck with $18 in coin change. I jokingly said, "Oh! I was gonna say -- 'Mind your own bees' wax!'" And we laughed and laughed... oh, how we laughed...]

So anyway, minding your own business is deeply ingrained in me; HOWEVER, when I see people trying to cut lines, when the civilized amongst us are waiting our turn, I feel I must say something -- and I do.

To wit: At my bus stop in the morning, it is the custom of the civilized to wait in a line along the curb. The other day, this punk-ass bitch decided she was special and didn't have to wait in the line (which was about 30 people long, at least), and she would just go straight to the front. I politely told her that there was a line, indicating to the 30 people standing patiently along the curb. She didn't move, but asked me who elected me mayor of the street. My immediate response was, of course, that as the first person in line, I was the de facto (I think that might have thrown her) representative of those standing in the line. I then said, "See, that's how we do it here in civilization." She still didn't move, but when the bus came, I blocked her from getting on, and told everyone waiting to go on ahead of me, as I was preventing the line-cutter from getting on before the people who had waited.

Someone on the bus saved me a seat -- and the punk-ass bitch was none too pleased with me, let me tell you.
