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.

Dozer is half golden retriever and half Lab. I don't even know if there is some fancy name for that, I just call him a mutt, and it doesn't hurt his feelings.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

A maximum limit of three words to describe how you want your coffee. No more Gettysburg Address length descriptions of how you want your coffee.

And on a related note

We've got a labradoodle, but we got him as a 2 year old dog. We found him in the local classifieds in the "we need our pets gone" section. He's a pretty good dog - I'm all for rescuing a mutt, especially if he doesn't trust my allergies. And that's what he is - no designer fur on this dog. But he's a sweetheart, even if he does steal food.

On the other side, how about people at fast food places who stand there and block access to straws and napkins and condiments while they spend 5 minutes mixing up their coffee.

...Cockapoo's...

IMHO, should be "Cockadoodles."

And small should be small, medium should be medium, etc. No more selling Big Gulp cups as "small," and 55-gallon drums as "medium."

We have a pugle: Cute as a button, wife got him from the humane society for my birthday a few years ago.

Lawyers may not charge by the hour, but rather by the job.  Should speed up the court process, and also reduce the number of frivolous motions.  And, loser of any civil suit must pay half of the winner's attorney fees.  That should reduce frivolous lawsuits.

No more preloaded apps on a smart phone which cannot be removed by the end user.

Members of the military/veterans, their immediate families, and all members of Congress and their immediate families shall all use the new MilCon Healthcare System.  Watch how fast the VA issues get eliminated.

People who adopt dogs/cats from shelters or legit rescue groups are exempted from licensing fees.

Wow.  Some of you need to have a drink and lighten up.  Or maybe sober up.  Hard to tell.

The rest of you heathens need to get elected.

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!!


Aren't the "pure bred" dogs mostly designer mutts anyway?

Y'all argue about your mutts, put me in charge and there's gonna be real change. Public execution for all reality TV cast. Well, except for Gordon Ramsay. I like him. He can be the executioner and later my ambassador.

Together with the mental midgets who FILL a large drink cup with ice ... and then dump three-quarters of the ice so they can put some beverage into their cup. And then spent fifteen minutes hemming and hawing over which flavor they want today, totally ignoring the fact that there are six people lined up behind them, waiting for access to the machine.

On the ice, in fairness, some of those ice machines are crap. More often than not, I either end up with a few dinky cubes or a 3/4 full cup. It's easier to just take more and dump the excess, since if I keep giving little taps, I'm gonna end up with too much anyway.

Lots of good ideas here, from menus to robocalls.

FIFY.

Also, every judge issuing a ruling on any matter whatsoever must quote the exact law he is applying and explicitly explain how and why it applies.

Customer service lines for US companies will be staffed with people who speak English - no more automated menus that require the customer to wade through a choice tree pressing different buttons repeatedly.

Most malum prohibitum laws to be abolished. Example: In some places, selling beer to an adult on Sunday at 11:59 AM is a crime, but doing so at 12:01 PM is not.

In consideration of the above . . . using a foreign language (e.g., Latin) in the US legal system will be abolished.

And of course, NFA '34, GCA '68 - repealed in their entirety.
