Aww — ROSIE!
BTW, the combination of your thumb and her left paw looks like a goose head and neck going for her nethers. Her claw forms its malevolent dark eye.
Or maybe I’m just sleep-deprived.

@PsiFighter37: Poor chap. He’s turned into a meme.
@PsiFighter37: Many years ago, at Hozie’s Club Voltaire in Ocean Beach, San Diego, I had a killer round of hiccups. I tried everything: holding my breath, drinking a glass of water upside down, swallowing a spoonful of sugar dry. Then one of the patrons suggested something else and what the hell, IT WORKED!
I’m going to grab some pants and be back in 10 minutes. If I’m not, call the McD’s at 28th and Park and make sure I didn’t pass out in the bathroom.
ETA: Along with the pants, a large fries. Don’t get the impression I’m pulling a John Cole T-minus 1.5 months now.

@Citizen_X: I worked at McDonald’s when I was sixteen, and there were DEFINITELY some drive-thru patrons who weren’t wearing pants. There was also a dude we caught masturbating in the playland, which is still something that gives me nightmares.

Jeez, that dog has less dignity than mine. A very low bar, BTW.

You have been scratching Rosie’s belly again. Admit it, you tummy rubbing monster, Madre de Dios!

I worry about you. You’re like the Thin White Duke-era David Bowie of Balloon Juice.

suzanne
@Citizen_X: The scary thing is that I’m not sure that was the grossest thing that ever happened in there. At least once a month, some kid would crap or puke in there. Numerous times, I would find out that there were unattended kids in there whose parents would give them five bucks and leave them there all day while they went to work. A few times, I saw kids left there without shoes. As much as I hated it at the time, that experience taught me more about compassion for my fellow human more than really any other experience I can think of. Including years of church.

Shit, first gay latina Mitt, now puppy muff. My dreams will NOT be good this evening.
The new WaPo/ABC poll: Obama 49, Romney 46.[…]
Iāll probably catch some grief by how Iām defining āpremiumā here. Itās somewhat arbitrary. There are various polls I put a lot of stock in that Iām not including. But just to be clear Iām referring to the polls put out by CBS/NYT, NBC/WSJ, WaPo/ABC and Pew. This is the first from the first three on that list since the debate, if Iām not mistaken.[…]
The swing state numbers over the weekend were a bit more friendly to Obama ā particularly the one of Ohio by PPP. So is Obama coming back? Or was he never gone? I suspect itās a bit of both. But things have been so weird and chaotic over the last six weeks I wouldnāt bet on anything.
Well, I would. Going in we were solid, the smoke clears some and… coming out we’re still solid. Main thing seems to be that Romney increased his solid support from about 42 to about 44 (the rest is soft as butter), and Obama’s solid support fell by about a point to 46-47 or so, and even that wouldn’t have happened without the support of people like Sully. BFD. Now we’ll go back the other way.
Onwards! Queue up the next media freakout!

@Debbie(Aussie): I have met many a huntsman – more shudders but less visceral fear. Actually within a few weeks of arriving, went to dinner at a colleague’s. She has a huntsman problem at her place. We got in the car and all realised 2 or 3 minutes later that one of her giant huntsman was sitting on the bonnet of the car – it surfed there for 20 min as we drove back home (up to 90 km/hr too!). We pulled over and used a stick to knock it off the car by a bit of bush. I don’t want a spider that butch in my garden!

Here’s what you do. You hold your breath. Count of ten, fifteen, whatever. Then, when you’re about out of breath and know you need to breathe, take an inhale but DON’T EXHALE. And hold your breath a little longer.
I learned this trick a while back, can’t remember where, and since I’ve known it, I’ve never known it to fail.

Who needs dignity when you can be comfy? Comfy and safe and maybe you get a tummy rub now and then. Look at her little smile. Dignity shmignity.
