Word. If you already have a website, how hard is it to add the menu, which you almost certainly have in digital format for yourself?

ban on all designer mutts.

You want buy a dog from a breeder? Buy a freeking pure bred dog from a decent breeder. You want a mutt or a rescue? Buy a freeking mutt or a rescue from an ethical shelter.

But, for the love of all that's holy, STOP BUYING THE DAMN DOODLES!!

Only thing I hate more than no menu,
Is menu with no prices.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

The wife and I both hate it when the phone rings while we're "at it".
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms.

Perhaps because I'm a computer guy:  Death penalty for spammers, malware writers, and such.

To consolidate power I would order a purge the likes of which would make Stalin himself say “Whoa, steady on there ... a bit much don’t you think?”

Have everyone that was involved with replacing Styrofoam coffee cups with paper drug out in the street and shot.

Once they're handled,  anyone involved with mandating DEF or DPF on diesel engines wouldn't be long for this world either.

This is an idea whose time has come.  Only thing I would change would be adding whoever is behind the spam calls that keep hitting my cell phone.  Been really bad the past couple of months.


Was it Williamson that wrote about terrorists hitting a spammer conference?  Can't recall which book,  think it was the Freehold series,  but it was excellent.

Some friends of ours were spending $500 a month to power space heaters  because their furnace went out and they didn’t want to spend the money to fix it but instead they spent $3000 on a goddamn doodle because it’s what the wife wanted for Christmas

Can do you one better. The parents of Emily's best friend wanted a new dog, a golden retriever. Katie hooked them up with a really good breeder who was willing to sell them a dog for $500. They decided that was too much. Instead they went out and spent $1000 on a bernadoodle (Bernese mountain dog x poodle) with a known health problem that cost them another couple thousand in vet bills.

Had to look doodle just to make sure I understood what you guys were talking about.
More of cat guy than a dog guy.

Hey, I like saying doodle as much as the next person. And I loved saying Schnoodle (those went out of fashion faster than they came in)

But this *expletive deleted*it is getting old. We now have multiple Springadoodles, Bernadoodles and Sheepadoodles, in addition to the Labradoodles and Goldadoodles that we already had. Not to mention the old standbys of Cockapoo's and Maltipoo's and some other damn Poo's.

But not one damn Pugle.

I guess if you do it with gun ships, that will cause a traffic jam and someone would have to push them off the road.
