Oh, laugh damnit!

retrievr - search by sketch / search by image    Another delicious tool to use with Flickr...you "draw" an image, and it finds photos that "kinda" look like your drawing.  I'm amazed!    This site found through the inspiring  "inaminuteago - the blog".  

Yes, It IS Laugh Out Loud Funny!

A guy is driving around Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a house:



"Talking Dog For Sale."



He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog  is in the backyard.  The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador Retriever sitting there.



"You talk?" he asks.



"Yes, I do," the Lab replies.



"So, what's your story?"



The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered   that I could talk when I was pretty young.  I wanted to help the  government, so I told the CIA  about my gift, and in no time at all they had me  jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.  I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.



"But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed  up for a job at the  airport to do some undercover security wandering  near suspicious  characters and listening in.  I uncovered some  incredible dealings and  was awarded a batch of medals.  I got married, had  a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."



The guy is amazed.  He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog



"Ten dollars," the guy says.



"Ten dollars?  This dog is amazing.  Why on earth  are you selling him so cheap?"



"Because he's a liar.   He never did any of that shit."

Thanks for the joke,  Leata!

Frank and Jesse

The Dynamic Duo! Jesse and Frank, February 2006

Jesse on a Fur Pillow

Well, I guess you can see by the picture that Jesse is hung up Frank's butt.  Is there a nicer way to say it?  Probably.  

Frank tolerates a lot, but they've really become the very best of friends.  And they sure can tear up a room.  Jesse is about 4 months old now.  And she's weighing right at 30 pounds.  She's gonna be big.

Believe it or not, this pic was made with my Motorola 551V phone.  Why did I spend so much on that Sony?

Great ezine!   A little something for anyone looking for creative inspiration.

For  example there's an article about an origami competition at MIT, and an artist who makes faces from buttons, watch faces, and other recycled objects...
