OT - Grumpy Old Man Thread

I would never allow a dog - or any animal- to sit on my couch or be on any other furniture.

I just happen to like dogs more than people.

Me too. 

Granted, that's a low bar. 

But dogs are awesome. Thus I like dogs significantly more than people.

You didn't marry a dog.

My house is a restaurant and a grocery store.  I am here....alive. 

J/K -- sorta.  I just happen to like dogs more than people.

It's your house, you can choose to live however you like.

I've actually watched a dog stop and take a shit in the middle of a grocery store produce aisle.  The owner just sat there and watched it happen.

So, yeah... nope.

I dunno... The first time, she was a real bitch.

What would the owner have done.  Put their thumb in the dogs asshole and ushered him outside?  

I get it, man.  Relax.  No dogs in the grocery....I'm good with it.  LOL

Ushered him outside, yes.  Obviously.  When my dog is squatting to take a dump, if I pull on the leash, she moves and follows me and holds it until I let her stop again.

And I'm plenty relaxed.  I'm making a statement on a message board.  Should I not do that?  What a weird call-out.

One of my favorite movies.

That wonderful movie was shot in Austin, Texas, by Mike Judge, a fine Austinite!

Yep, his stuff has always landed well with me, from Office Space, to Beavis and Butthead, to King of the Hill.  He gets me.  

[utee94]

I was never a big fan of Beavis and Butthead because it was the show all the stoners liked, and I've always had a pretty low opinion of stoners and stoner culture.  Still, it can't be denied that the show produced some iconic lines and some iconic moments.

On the other hand, King of the Hill is great.  It so perfectly captures suburban Texas culture in a bit of a satirical manner, without being ugly or mean-spirited.

And anyone who's ever worked in a cube farm, especially for a Tech company, has to appreciate Office Space.

I got assigned to put out a weekly patent report when I was at work.  It was easy because I had three folks in India doing most of the work, I just reformatted the cover page and emailed it.  I called it "The Patent Summary Report".

Only one person ever commented on that, and I had over 100 recipients.
