Sure. But how do we explain it to the kids when he unwraps his gift?

Does he have Madden 2006 yet?

I know not of this thing of which you speak. Is this the XBox thing I just found on Google?

Also, check and see if he has any health problems that could cause behavior issues. If he's not feeling well, his behavior may be stress related.

This is an excellent recommendation! However, that is exactly what I have requested as my next gift. Would it be bad form to give him one and then usurp it?

Like when Homer gives Marge the bowling ball for xmas?

"If you don't like it, I know somebody who will!!!"

I never liked Ice T much. I listened to his early stuff, but never thought he was very talented and completely lost my taste for him when he went all OG.

Ice Cube on the other hand was brilliant.

TM

Agreed. Like I said -- OG is Ice-T's only good album. But, it is really good, IMO.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? He bumped his head and the doctor told him to take to pills and go to work in the morning. He's fine.

I really like Gatti

[confidential to Thurgreed]
but he's kind of a pussy, so a wittle head bump could be a big deal
[/confidential to Thurgreed]

and I hope he feels better quick.

Don't move. Don't talk. Don't even breathe.

Thanks, all. Betty Ford says I'm still good to go.

The dog is 6. Has been mouthy, nippy, at times aggressive/possessive about being asked to get off whatever he's sleeping on throughout his life (yes, accept and acknowledge that his human parents owed him some additional behavioral training long ago that he never received). He had been improving in general behavior (he is of a very independent, not particulrarly obedient breed), but lately had been stealing food, disobeying, bitching about going in and out of the garage, etc. He disobeyed a particular set of commands last night (to get out of the kid-room, as it was bedtime), as he was on a mission to find crumbs of food or something, so I swatted at him with a magazine. He whipped around, snarled, paused and then lunged at my leg. I have a nasty bruise, it's sore, and there was some minor skin-breaking (through the pant-leg), but no external bleeding. Motherfucker. He was ashamed, etc. I take a huge amount of blame, as I believe the theory for this breed is that positive discipline works much better than negative (negative also showing that I'm not the calm alpha he needs to stay in line), but I'm not now sure what to do. Checked with the relevant rescue, and they won't even take a dog who's bitten. Considered at different points along the way finding another home for him, but like losers, we made excuses for him and focussed on alleged improvements or boundaries we felt he had, rather than getting serious about training and, if that failed, letting him go.

If you feel sort of bad bringing him out into the backyard and having the kids hear the "POP, POP, POP" of a .22, take him for a field trip tonight on the side of a highway, throw a stick, say "Fido, Fetch" and jam on the gas pedal. Tell the kids "Fido go bye bye."

No. Not at all.

sold the fuck out, did Sprite commercials, brought Fergie in, recorded "Let's Get it Started" and now they're a joke. Behind the Front is a solid hip hop cd.

TM

was Fergie someone before, or was it just "let's put an arguably hot girl in the band?"

I guess I could see that as a bad decision, but sell out?

I don't know squat about hip hop music but I heard Fergie last night on Letterman and my uneducated opinion is that she sucks.

On the non-music front....

My neighbors across the street take obsessive to a new level. I always figured Leo's garage was cleaner than most people's houses, but tonight they had a dinner party in the garage.
