Surf Dog Competition: Pups Line Up To Ride The Big Waves (PHOTOS)
More than 60 dogs showed up for the fifth annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog competition in Imperial Beach, CA this week to compete for an adorable, if odd, honor. The pups got 10 minutes to prove their physical prowess to the judges who are looking for confidence and length of ride.
A dog owner spoke to Reuters about his pup Buddy saying, "He's really passionate about it. He sees this as a game and he wants to play. I'm sure he's ridden more waves than any other dogs...My job is to get him into the critical part of the wave."
This year's contest raised money for the San Diego Police Department's canine unit.
Kathy, could there be someone else with your name with bad credit? Collection agencies will call around looking for people to anyone with the same last name.
It could be a scam, but I know that in the above situation, the agency calling can only give out very limited information or they can end up liable for a whole bunch of privacy violations.
If anything similar happens again, I'd also worry about identity theft.
Somebody make me work! I am a lump of unfocused distracted dont-wanna today, and I have to get all this shit done before they upgrade the software this weekend, because I know we'll lose at least two days of work while they figure out what went wrong this time.
I have a weakness for the CM guest star (well, all of them this week), so I had no problem buying what they were selling. And the bad guy was creepy nasty and I had much feelings of helplessness.

Oh, God, now I'm really worried. I don't have time to fix anything about this today, so I'll have to contact my bank tomorrow and see if I can get my credit report (they offer a free one annually, IIRC) and see if there's been anything hinky going on.
This is some fucked-up shit.
Too unfit to run: Two-year-old who smokes 40 cigarettes a day puffs away on a toy truck
Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he looks like a parody of a middle-aged lorry driver.
But the image covers up a much more disturbing truth: At just the tender age of two, Ardi Rizal's health has been so ruined by his 40-a-day habit that he now struggles to move by himself.
The four-stone Indonesia toddler is certainly far too unfit to run around with other children - and his condition is set to rapidly deteriorate.
But, despite local officials' offer to buy the Rizal family a new car if the boy quits, his parents feel unable to stop him because he throws massive tantrums if they don't indulge him.
His mother, Diana, 26, wept: 'He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.'
I have no logical, rational, or constructive anything to say about that story.

Yeah. It kinda' sits there, like a big cloud of WTF hovering overhead.
Like Zenkitty, I have work to do, and I am sort of staring blankly at it, instead of actually doing most of it.
