A bright sunny morning in Oslo. Headed out soon to pick up my kids who have spent 3 weeks in summer school.
Only intermittent access to internet (and less in the days to come).
Let’s flip the bird back at Bush – he will eventually have to pay..
Go to CHIMPOTUS’ OWN WEBPAGE!!! If you’ll notice, he is still calling it “The War on Terror” and didn’t get Karl’s “GSAVE” memo…
Check it out quick before it changes!!! ; )

Double Dog Dare
~~~
~~~
You amaze me Oui. How did you find all of the double dog pictures? The weather is sunny and hot here in Munich. How is the weather in the Netherlands?
.
A challenge by BooMan and curiosity about the phrase Double Dog Dare.
If I can find that swimming pool in Munich, so much easier to find twin dogs via google images.
In Holland we had wonderful warm weather in June – my daughters marriage – followed by a cold and rainy July. I am not complaining though, when I see the news about the weather in all of Southern Europe: 35°C+ and drought.
Yesterday the weather has become pleasant once again, hoping for a weekend Bar-B-Q.

I didn’t know your daughter got married! Congratulations. I love the pictures you posted. I lived on Van Vollenhovenplein for 3 years and I know Leiden very well. Those pictures brought back wonderful memories for me.

So cute!
Please don’t tell me the name is Frank …

He is Frankie in Furter.
I must be “dog tired” 🙂

I just can’t go on 🙂
now I know for sure I’m up past “normal people” bedtime.
Sorry, but it got me laughing a bit to the point I had to step outside or wake up the “normies” in my house 😉
the chuckle circle is complete. Twill be good to hit the sack with a grin in place.
In response to your sig, I’m considering the following;
All women are created unique, some are just more unique.

And so it goes…..
Oh the double dog photos are great but the puppy sandwich is the one that made me spit my first morning coffee across the room. What a way to wake up! I’m not one to back away from a challenge, however, so here’s my puppy contribution:
Did you ever see the Pee Wee Herman show where Mrs. Renee sits on an entire cake and never even notices that it’s stuck to her butt when she gets up?
It’s my favorite episode…
I’ve never seen the Pee Wee Herman show, but it sounds like my class of humour. 😉
We have the series on tape, but I bet they have them on Netflix. A must-see IMO.
I got it, I received my Booman T shirt yesterday. Yeah man, going to wear it to a school board meeting, that should shake some things up. They don’t particularly like this long haired earrings wearing, liberal talking Indian/welshman much anyway.
I like to ask the hard questions, who owned the land the new elementary school is going to be built upon. lo and behold, it seems the mother in law of the superintendent of schools owned that land.
and how about those no bid contracts that the son of one of the board members received for striping the parking lots at all the schools.
Now I wonder where they found their inspiration.
Anyway, I have my new Booman T shirt. lets frog march the bastards out and into jail.
Ghostdancer, are there any more of you? We need you here in California. And everywhere else.
for almost 25 years, got tired of Duncan (what do you mean I can’t kite my paychecks) Hunter and his racist,ethically challenged representation of my district.
That and the fact there are just way to many people living in so cal.
I miss surfing, the mountains and especially trout fishing in the Sierra’s
Picked mine up at the PO today. Very nicely designed T I might say. I’ll have a trial run at the local coffee shop tomorrow, then aim for a big splash at Fargo’s annual blues fest, Aug 19-20.
This is my aunts’ dog Sweetie:
My aunt’s got Sweetie nine years ago. A week after they got her, they found out she had a serious heart condition. The vet told them she would probably not live another year. She lived nine more. For the past three years, she was on heart medication. The vets said that most dogs survived less than a year on that medication, but Sweetie worked it for three. She was a great dog, energetic and loving. Her name was incredibly appropriate. Finally, though, her medical conditions became too much. She had to be put to sleep this week. Even though I only got to spend time with Sweetie on three or four occasions, I grew to love her, too. RIP Sweetie.
I’m so sorry. They really do become members of our families, don’t they? Sweetie truely does have a sweet face. I said farewell to one of my old friends as well this week. My oldest horse died Tuesday morning… he was over 30 and I loved him dearly. Farewell until we meet again, old friend. I believe we will see them all again… someday, somewhere.
It’s been a rough year for people in my life and their companion animals. A friend had to put her dog and one of her cats to sleep this spring–both were over ten years old. The other cat nearly gave up on living with those animals out of the house. She’s since brought home a new kitten and puppy, and the older cat sprang back to life.
They do become so central to our lives. I’m a totally paranoid daddy. Anytime something happens with Harriet (my baby) I immediately call my father (the veterinarian). I can be a bit pathetic about it. I found a small bump and totally freaked out. Then my dad told me that the plastic bowls I have her food and water in were probably giving her acne (who knew that plastic gave cats zits?) I hate to imagine how bad I’d be if it were a kid instead of my cat…but that’s not a concern. No kids for me (the best kids are the ones you can give back, but I’ll never be without at least one cat in my home).
I have 9 cats, 2 horses, 2 birds, fish, and I feed anything that can drag itself into my yard. I’m like a crazy lady… sometimes I find myself chattering away to some wild animal or the other. I’ve lost many animal friends over the years and have become quite philosophical about it, although it always hurts like hell. Thanks for your kind words… be at peace knowing that Sweetie was loved and cared for.
Jeff,
I’m the same way with my cats. Every little thing that seems wrong produces a call or trip to the vet. I don’t even want to think about the inevitable end of their lives. In my mind, they’ll live forever.
One of my cats developed kitty acne and we swapped all the plastic bowls for ceramic or stainless steel and she’s much better now.
this is really how pathetic i am…i haven’t switched the bowls yet because i haven’t found anything pretty enough for her.
Oh Jeff,
If you don’t switch the bowls until you find something you like, at least make sure you wash the plastic ones out really, really well with hot soapy water after each feeding. It’s the germs that stay on the plastic that is causing the acne.
If you go with stainless steel you won’t have to worry about design. 🙂
unconditional love. Sweetie’s face is just adorable and you can tell she was well named.
Oh, and I should definitely add my condolences on your horse. I know how devastating such losses can be.
It’s always hard to lose a friend. Sweetie’s photo reminds me of the border collie I had for some 14 years. Just me at the “funeral” but I got out a long extension cord and played an old Byrds tune, you might remember, “Bye, Bye, Blue, You good dog you…” One of my all time favorites.
Here’s my double dog dare:
I’ve taken that dare and I’ll raise you. That “hot dog” is awfully cute. Unfortunately my wife’s allergies preclude such pets for us.
Boogal’s surgery was successful. I’ve got her on the couch. Now, off to buy painkillers and antibiotics…
Yay! Best wishes to you both.
I’d post a comment, but it would have to be on double super-secret background, except to Novak.
I want my BooMug and BooShirt!
–still waiting
And the mailman’s already been here today…(sniff!)
Stop, Thief!
Assessing the Reaction to the Roberts Nomination
By Tom Engelhardt
_______________________
Read all about the perfect appointee J.G.Roberts’ role in
the theft of the presidential election in Florida. He
paid his own air fare to get down there and give the
team extensive help. He helped steal the election for
Bush/Cheney and now it’s payback time.
Tom Englehardt asks us to imagine the scenario of Gore had
won the election and then later appointed a lawyer who
had assisted Bois in front of the Supreme Court in FL 2000.
Scream louder Democrats, I can’t hear you, louder!
Our Sec. of State has said that Diebold Machines will no longer be used. YEA!! I hope the rest of the nation follows.
Anyone heard of this story?
http://www.lantis.tv/amp/releases/anomaly.html
Supposedly there are some satellite photos showing an object under the ice that appears to be man-made. I’ve never heard of this, but the story cited above says this goes back to the Clinton Administration.
Oh well, back to work. Such a shame when work interferes with Booman Trib time.
So THAT is where the Decepticons have been hiding for all these years!!!
Coulter on Helen Thomas: “What is it with these Arabs and suicide?”
Today, 10:32 AM
On her personal website, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter linked to a Drudge Report item on Hearst Newspapers columnist Helen Thomas’s alleged vow to “kill herself” should Vice President Dick Cheney run for president. Thomas, a former White House correspondent for United Press International, is of Lebanese …
G. Gordon Liddy was on ‘The Situation w/ Tucker Carlson’ last night, and said one of the most asshole-ish things I’ve ever heard him say (and that’s saying something).
This is straight from the transcript, in case you don’t believe me.
Man! I wanted to smack that smug piece of shit!
