Dog Outfits and My Super Power

The stupidest thing I heard on Sunday was on E! television where someone remarked, "Your dog can never have too many outfits." Yes they can. One.

Stupidest thing I heard on Saturday, someone on the BBC referring to the drive to Cornwall being problematic because of "Stonehenge rubberneckers". Stupid...but funny.

My super power revealed - I am a master of media coincidence. The day after Pooteewheet and I watched Air Guitar Nation, enjoying C-Diddy's rise to Air Guitar champion of the world, I yelled to Pooteewheet that she had to come see Heroes on streaming Netflix, for there was C-Diddy as a messenger guy! Then, on Friday, we went to see I Am Legend. When I sat down in front of Heroes Season 2 the next day to watch the next episode, there was the exact same abandoned Times Square, with the same Wicked poster and even the same construction - just no deer. My immediate assumption was that they'd traveled into the past to stop the making of Will Smith's movie for some reason. So this is my super power - provide me with any two media experiences, and because I am the observer, they will have eerie similarities and congruences. Seems like a pathetic power, until you realize it's been driving Will Smith's acting career toward I Am Legend for ten years. He owes me 1/100th of a percent on that whole Independence Day thing.

I'm posting this so I can refer it to Bob in E Building, because I'm certain he'll like it. Via Yehuda's 30 Strangest Board Games of 2007, Jonathan Coulton singing Baby Got Back.

I don't tell many people, but I play Santa at the Human Society. Thus I see all types of dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets in all sorts of dress cloths.

I find it interesting the way some of these people treat their animals like kids. Personally I dress up kids, not fish.

I'm going to assume you mean Humane society, because otherwise it's kind of creepy. Very cool - I bet you make a lot of kids very happy when they bring their pets for pictures with Santa.

I told one of the teachers at your brother's school about the bicycle and furnace. That's hilarious.
