		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jacqrat @ 112 re Poztron @ 111&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t think this is appropriate subject matter for this blog…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ding!! And I think the phrase “bite me” belongs in there somehow.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jane, I love the way Kobe keeps the toy “just” out of Lucy’s reach.  If he really didn’t want her to have it, he’d take it &amp; move away, but nooooo, he keeps it just close enough to remind her he’s got it, but just far enough that she can’t get it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost human, neh?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;okay — first, loved the choice&lt;br /&gt;
of “&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;cool jerk&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;” for the soundtrack — nice!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;next — of course! — michael “ick” vick&lt;br /&gt;
needs to do some jail time. . . over 100&lt;br /&gt;
fighting dogs!?  sheeeeeeit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;next, and why i write: failed to wish&lt;br /&gt;
you a hpaay birthday, the other day, jane!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;finally — imagine the smile on my face,&lt;br /&gt;
seeing your two buddies playing &lt;em&gt;on exactly&lt;br /&gt;
the same persian rug&lt;/em&gt;, down to the&lt;br /&gt;
cool crunilations along the fringe, under&lt;br /&gt;
own my feet, and in my living room, as i&lt;br /&gt;
type this — but then, the &lt;em&gt;topper&lt;/em&gt; was seeing&lt;br /&gt;
the &lt;em&gt;very same eames lounge-chair and ottoman&lt;br /&gt;
set&lt;/em&gt;, across from my fireplace, where i will&lt;br /&gt;
read my sunday new york times, in an hour&lt;br /&gt;
or so. . .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;surreal — cool, but surreal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;ps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;: your finger, in the upper right, evinces&lt;br /&gt;
all the distinction of its fine u.s.c. film&lt;br /&gt;
school education!  he he!  [oddly, here too,&lt;br /&gt;
i was &lt;em&gt;there&lt;/em&gt; for a day last week, as&lt;br /&gt;
part of a wide-ranging vacation — to take my&lt;br /&gt;
son on a series of campus visits — and saw&lt;br /&gt;
the new undergrad major in digital arts/new&lt;br /&gt;
media director, daphne sismondi, as well as&lt;br /&gt;
the construction underway on the marcia&lt;br /&gt;
lucas building (to be right next door to the&lt;br /&gt;
george lucas building). . . coOOOool!]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thus establishing that there is, actually,&lt;br /&gt;
only &lt;em&gt;one degree of separation&lt;/em&gt;, any longer. . .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;btw, though it &lt;em&gt;scarcely needs mentioning&lt;/em&gt;, i’ll&lt;br /&gt;
mention it anyway — i disagree with poztron @ 111,&lt;br /&gt;
above — completely.  this is a real place.&lt;br /&gt;
not someone’s p.r. piece for what progressives&lt;br /&gt;
ought to look/act/think/dress or talk about. . .&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-856782&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;poztron @ 111&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sorry, skipping past the 110 comments already posted. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cute poodles playing with dog toys, but this is supposed to add umph to the FDL fight, exactly how?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call me jaded, but I’ve yet to see a video with the jolly FDL crew emoting on Libby or whatever, or their cute pets, that didn’t make me cringe, and by extension give ammo to right-wing wingnut perceptions of (gak) Liberals as effete poodle-walking Blue-zone dwerbs. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time to rethink the public presentation. You folks are on target with your sentiments, but the trappings are self-defeating. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enough with the peanuts and the poodles!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t think this is appropriate subject matter for this blog…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;a 5-star debut for Kobe &amp; Lucy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a snowman can submit a YouTube CNN debate&lt;br /&gt;
question, why not the official Firedogs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear GOP Candidate,&lt;br /&gt;
Name all the athletes, referees, unitary and other executives,&lt;br /&gt;
Attorneys General and politicians you know who would&lt;br /&gt;
qualify as alleged felons under the RICO Act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If convicted of RICO offenses in conjunction&lt;br /&gt;
with animal abuse, can the 20-year sentence be&lt;br /&gt;
converted into dog years?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You brought back some good memories, Jane.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had a miniature black poodle, he lived to be 17.  I still miss him to this day, and as much as I love dogs, I’d have to say I don’t think I’d get another right now (I’m single, still working,and because until I retire I have no place to leave dog during work hours).  I just couldn’t care for him/her properly right now.  And losing him broke me up so badly I cried. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Great to see yours though!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
