WOOF

Yesterday was the 18th annual Halloween Dog Parade in Williamsburg.

The event is sponsored by BARC, where we got our little dog, Mr. Buckingtons. It's a good time - dogs take over the main strip in Williamsburg, they bark a lot, some of them lie down in the middle of the parade route. Buck went as a construction worker, with a wife beater, tool belt, and bandana.

Buck gets very excited by the whole thing and was pretty energetic. He got some good barking in.

Pictures coming soon.

I love the new LED meters on Buck's web site. For the intellegence graph you've got "Genius" all the way right and "Silly" all the way left. Seems that you've got Buck metered correctly, I'm just trying to figure where Jackson would fall under this measurable?

I can not be measured by standard means. My silly is genius, and my genius is silly.

Don't be so sure Jackson, there is a team of smirking and smiling German's at Dogster.com working on incorporating new criteria for you to be measured against. Their litmus test is your misquoted Ratt lyric from 'Round & Round' "...Tighten our belts, our pizza sells".

Right now it sends the LED's pinging back and forth between genius and silly three times a second, but they are close to stabilizing it for a true benchmark.

Standby...

Tell me, Tony, is the actual lyric any better? Is Stephen Pearcy of Ratt to be thought of in the same terms as Shakespeare?

Pizza is good stuff.

I am not a dog, though I look like one on tv.

That is definitely a very representative picture of Buck.

You can almost hear him asking, "What? What do you want? Yes, this is my stuffed animal. So what?"

That's an awesome picture!!! If there was an audio file associated with it, he'd be offering the same grunt he gave me at S&M when I stopped rubbing his belly for a minute to take a sip of my beer. He looks like someone just woke him up.

Jackson,

Update: The German's have fixed the meter, and it turns out you were correct. It pegged to the genius side only validating that your lyric was far superior to S. Pearcy's.

You may NOT stop rubbing Buck until he gives his approval. He's been very clear about that.

I just recieved an e-mail from Stephen Pearcy asking my permission to use my 'superior' pizza lyric when they perform 'Round and Round'.

Next up - Bon Jovi's 'Living on a Prayer' The lyric in question:

"Johnny is a dyin' of AIDS"
