You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, let's just sum up the day...

What is even happening?

World's ugliest dog.

My word, Joss shoulda gave up the enormous rubber snakes, and used that as a demon.

Poor doggie. He's not that ugly because of the noted age related ailments, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's true, it does suck to be me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Which one are you buying, Perkins? One that can print onto CDs, I hope.

I was thinking this one, [link]

but I don't think it does the CD thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate it when this happens: [link]

Chinese cresteds are an acquired taste (I think they're darling, and so cuddly), but at least half his ugly is from age.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oohhh... I haven't read the article yet, but winter mornings are the best time for smelling the factory based on my experience. Makes me crave hot chocolate when I get to work.
