Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cowboy Monkeys Riding Dogs Herding Goats
Deciding on America’s best monkey/dog rodeo act is kind of like an Elvis versus The Beatles argument. On the one hand you have the individual achievements of Whiplash and on the other the shared genius of Team Ghost Riders. Both acts have been performing for crowds of thousands across the country for many years. Not only at rodeo events, but also at state fairs and an ever-increasing number of minor league baseball games each year.
In either case it is a collaborative effort between monkey and canine. Specifically white-headed capuchin monkeys in diminutive saddles astride border collies–very smart herding dogs, who I think it is safe to say are doing the bulk of the real work in these acts. The monkeys are there to give an (almost) human face to the show. And wear a sombrero, when needed. While it does seem that the monkeys are, um, “attached” to their steeds, they also do seem to be happy with the ride and can sometimes be seen petting or patting the collies while they are in action.

Oy - wording on "final comments" for my self-appraisal? So far all I have is "In conclusion, I am fucking awesome. Please give me more money."

I have successfully cancelled Tivo! I told them I was moving out of the country. They want me to call back if I sell the Tivo to someone else and let them know, which makes me a little suspicious it's some kind of pyramid scheme/CIA spy ring/mafia hit man thing.
In other TV news, I just read an article that reported a Nielsen survey that Americans watch 5 hours and 11 minutes a day on average. I don't think I'm in my house and awake for 5 hours and 11 minutes in the average day. (Also, people who live in Hawaii watch less TV which, duh, if I lived in Hawaii I would watch less TV too.)

Maybe you should replace "In conclusion" with "That's right, Bitches"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So you're saying not "In conclusion, hookers and blow!" then?

When I got a new tivo, and called to cancel the subscription on the old one, they got all in my business about what was going to happen to the old one. I finally had to get shirty with the woman.
