My camera broke! (Rachel Lucas)

My camera broke!

Stupid stupid camera! I knew it was inevitable, as I have committed foul crimes against caninity with it for several years running. It's a Fujifilm Finepix, I've had it for six years, and it's time to upgrade, baby! Anyway I got several requests to help you guys cleanse your palate of the Britney skankness with some dog pics, but like I said, camera thwarted that process. So instead here's one I took a few weeks ago. My living room should be on HGTV. Or not.

Wow. I thought *I* was the only one who kept my Hindu goddess heads in the fireplace...

Whoops... sorry for the double post. But I thought of you as I posted today's dog-related post over on my site. I'm guessing Ridgebacks are smarter than Dalmatians.

Photo Caption sez "Dog waiting for pork to fly thru air towards face."

Rachel: Have you ever said something a la "When Pigs Fly!" and had Sunny reply (in Barkinese) ...

"If Only!"

How you tease those poor dogs!

LOVE the map!!! You should send it to Miss South Carolina. BTW, it's Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica Ac Hydrographica Tabula by Henricus Hondius, 1630s (unless bottom center has Amstelodami Excudit Ioannes Ianssonius in which case it's 1640s).
A real one would set you back $15,000 or so. And no, I don't have one :-( I once saw a real one that had been varnished to a serving tray (that should be a felony). I know you like " but I tend to speak parenthetically, and I ramble.

A) Your dog looks like it wants to kill someone. Namely, you for not heaving a dead animal in her direction for consumption.

B) That is a ROCKIN' entertainment center. I bet it feels like you are really there.

C) You are supposed to eat cows, not pet them.

D) That is not enough booze. You need more.

And finally...

E) On the ends of your mantle, the large colored glasses. I can tell that they are in fact that; Large Colored Glasses. But they look like a collection of colored bongs. And since I know that they are not, I'm going to say it anyway...

You damned dirty smelly hippie.

Page, no, I've been there. They are bongs. I was totally freaked out! Especially when I was like, no, none for me, thanks, and Rachl Lukis was like, "You take it trixie! You get high!" I ran away.

j/k I've never been there. But it was a fun story, yes?

Rachl Lukis, you do not have nearly enough DVDs. Until you have 2 3/4 bookshelves full, you are a DVD loser.

I'm just wondering whether the erotic art is some kind of self-portrait of Rupert's ex or what. I think we need a close-up to understand better... Hey, that could be our reward for putting up with what you did to our eyes yesterday.

Mighty open-minded of you to let him keep it out in the open there in your apartment.

Holy shit sarahk, I literally had to spit my coffee back into it's cup.

~I have a few old maps, I'm still waiting for them to make me smart, dunno what the holdup is.

oooh! David Gilmour on the tv. Good choice. But that makes me think they are, in fact, bongs on the mantel. And since I know SarahK, and know she doesn't lie, I will overlooking the "j/k" part of her story and assume they are bongs!

sarahk: the thrilling tale of your narrow (if imaginary) escape reminds me of this line from the poem "Have Some Madeira, M'Dear":

"In the wink of an eye she made no reply, up her mind, and a dash for the door."

I can't find the US on that map. Did you go to Germany to get those steins in the middle? Why is that dog naked?

DAVID GILMOUR is a GOD. The "David Gilmour in Concert" (a/k/a the Meltdown Concert) DVD is total awesomeness and my favorite. Can't really tell if that's the one on your screen, because the pork-catcher is distracting me. Anyway, I must have watched that DVD 100 times already. Michael Kamen on piano (R.I.P.)! The song "High Hopes" gets me. I mean really gets me. It's gorgeous. The damned guitar SOLOS. Aaaaaggggh. I must go mist myself with a personal fan now.

If you have David Gilmour, you MUST have a bong.

And a poster of Robert Plant...

And an open, stale bag of Doritos...

And bong-water stains on the rug...

And a can of Ozium to "clear the air" when mom comes down into the basement...

You need a big TV to put the little TV on top of.

Damn, girl, time to upgrade the electronics! Oh, and erotic art by boyfriend's ex? admit it, you only have that there so you can tell him you aren't threatened by it...

Rachel Lucas

Ah-hem!

Those are not bongs, they are old candle holders. Saved them out of my mom's garage sale. That is not to say I am opposed to bongs, which are very versatile tools.

The erotic art by Rupert's ex is actually really beautiful and no I'm not threatened by it. Silly people. I'm not 23. Rupert bought a new dresser from my ex-husband a few weeks ago when we started shacking up. It's all cool. We're so...European.

And I will have you all know that that IS the "little" TV. When I got divorced last year, I let my ex keep the giant monstrous TV because I didn't want to deal with moving it. I took the smaller one we had on the top level of our entertainment center because we had always felt the need to have the news on small TV and something entertaining on big TV. At the same time. Anyway, when Rupert moved in, I gave that little TV back to my ex but I took this picture first. Hmph. I'm not THAT lame. YOu cannot properly view Gilmour on such a small machine. Gilmour demands more.

Speaking of Gilmour, AMEN to all who agree. God I love that man. I own a few live Pink Floyd discs too but I especially love Gilmour. Dogette, I do think it was the concert you mentioned. WHICH IS AWESOME ISN'T IT? The cello on "Comfortably Numb"! Oh. My. God. Pure ecstasy.

Mister Cantankerous

I am taking bets that the reason the camera is broken is because Sunny has been secretly drooling into the flashcard chamber ever since you posted the first clothing pic, and has successfully managed to short out the cameras electonics. It is such an incredibly masterfull plan on her part too. Clear, odorless, and the excess slobber will evaporate off leaving the camera looking completely unsabotaged.

What a Smart Doggie you are Sunny! Yes you are! Oh Yes you are! Have mommy give you some delish porkie goodness.

Alright, Rachel and Dogette: I just ordered the David Gilmour DVD (Amazon Prime membership is awesome & dangerous at the same time). I'd better have my socks knocked off! : )

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.

Please can you tell me the exact name of that David Gilmour DVD? I am desperate. I will offer up pork products to Sunny, if necessary.
