How did you know I have tombstone shoes and a graveyard mind?

I’ve been known to sit and play the Bo Diddley beat. Never really getting near a song. Just the beat and noodling.

It’s just that fun.

If you can’t get comfortable in those horrific plastic airport chairs when dressed casually I don’t see how this helps. I’m thinking some would consider traveling with lizards taped to one’s body would be punishment enough. Not me. I like the little critters, but there are many people who don’t do scaly. Besides, I’ve always wanted to answer a stewardesses question, “What’s that in your pocket?” with “Gila Monster . . . and is he glad to see you!”. Well. Say it and to actually have the reptile attached that is. (I KID!!! No one try that! It would end badly. And I’m not talking the legal consequences.)

But tangentially this is an example where no amount of shame would be an appropriate punishment. If a man is arrested for taping lizards to his body for smuggling purposes, I’m going to make a leap here and assume a sandwich board sign saying “I’m a Lizard Smuggler” isn’t going to be exactly punishment.

Not everyone reads the instructions, but selling chocolate treats for dogs implies to those that do not read the instructions that chocolate is OK for dogs.

is it just me and my right wing conspiracy thing or is “Bo” the initials of the president?

Coincidence or something else more sinister? Perpetrated by the president to dupe unsuspecting conservatives into saying “I love B O”.

Clever, very clever.

Fattest people on earth and fattest people in Western Europe are completely different things. I believe the dubious honour of fattest people on earth goes to the US.

it is the dose as stated above in the main post.

I have a Dachshund that weighs about 20 lbs ( approx 9 kg) that ate a bunch of chocolate and I was freaking out but he survived with no ill effects except a new found lust for the fruit of the cocoa tree. So I am not quite as worried about the occasional bit of chocolate that I once was. Although I do not feed it them.

This has to be a bad idea since even if the manufacturer has removed the toxic component it gives buyers the false idea that chocolate is safe for dogs which it is not.

They make baits for coyotes out of it.

other things that also should be off the doggy menu because poisonous or harmful should be macadamia nuts, grapes and onions.

I guess England has not to much in crime so that is why the focus is on the dog. Doesn’t England have like the fattest people on earth or something like that?

So does it really surprise you that its dogs are fat too?

England worst in Western Europe for obesity and teenage pregnancy
