15122. Magoseph - 5/25/2005 1:20:27 AM By the way, you have been rather busy lately, haven't you? 15123. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:31:24 AM Hey!
I have to chime in about Mac, and I LOVE the whole feel of reading what he writes.
I'm very partial to the county fair and I drag Bob every fall to look at the prize sewing and garden produce and baked goods, and through all the farm animals and everything. He hates it--which is crazy, since he loved farming. It's just one of those obligations that go with the partnership. I have a few as well, but Bob seems to forget that whenever his turn comes up. 15124. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:37:22 AM Thanks for asking about the pup, Mags! I do believe she's a prodigy. She pooped outside, hasn't had one accident, and seems to be learning "no" really fast--staying on her mat when she's on the carpet, not getting on our shoes, etc. Mojo seems to like her, but I'm not ready to let her play with her yet--under two pounds and over 60 is a lot of difference in size for playmates. Mojo and Diva did great (unless there was food involved), but Diva could back her off and get away from her when necessary.
And I don't think the name Doby's going to stick. It's getting to be a thing between Bob and me now. He's thought of one name--Cady--and I picked the spelling. I have all the ones in here and about fifty I put out, and he's pooh-poohed all of them, or even worse, said "it's okay," usually followed by: "but"+some obscure acquaintance, neighbor, or relative I either forgot about or never knew existed.
I don't want to name this puppy the most idiotic name I can think of just to irritate Bob every time I use it, but it's tempting. 15125. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:38:01 AM We've only named one pet together in 24 years, btw, and that's Mojo. I suggested it and Bob loved it. 15126. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:43:24 AM Trillium,
Thanks so much! Diva was a great little dog and we really miss her.
15127. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:44:50 AM Jay, that is just too cool. I always loved it when that cartoon came on tv. I had no idea it was so well known. 15128. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 1:46:44 AM It wouldn't do to have such a voluptuous cow as the Belgian blue in AR. 15129. Macnas - 5/25/2005 8:55:26 AM Arky, good to see the new pup is settling in.
The Belgian blue wouldn't do in AR? I suppose there's not many sheep there...
Thoughtful
This breed of cattle are hugely muscled, as you can see from the photo, and the meat is extraordinarily lean. 15130. jayackroyd - 5/25/2005 3:08:14 PM Things illegal in Arkansas:
he Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock.
A law provides that school teachers who bob their hair will not get a raise.
A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month.
Oral sex is considered to be sodomy.
Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs. 15131. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 3:20:00 PM Boy, do I know a lot of criminals. 15132. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 3:20:31 PM But I would never bob my hair. 15133. Magoseph - 5/25/2005 3:26:55 PM Arky, how about letting Bob name the puppy? 15134. PelleNilsson - 5/25/2005 4:01:50 PM arky of yore:
 15135. Macnas - 5/25/2005 4:13:46 PM You just don't see that style anymore. 15136. Hobbes - 5/25/2005 4:18:13 PM Someone said it was because they reached a preset posting limit and the sysop was sleeping in
He should give us his pager number. 15137. jayackroyd - 5/25/2005 4:38:19 PM which is precisely why he won't.
When I was hosting the mote, there was one user who took on the job (unasked) of calling my office (immediately) with reports of any service interruptions. Those calls were fortunately not frequent enough to constitute an actual nuisance, but they did become a source of sarcastic commentary. 15138. arkymalarky - 5/25/2005 5:15:45 PM Mags--that's what I'm supposed to be doing. We agreed at the outset that he would pick the name. He's really liked one name--Yoyo--which is OK, but.... (ha). I said if we name her that, her full name will be YoYo Ma Barker. We'll come up with one--we're both just being silly at the moment, but we're giving her a day or two to see which one seems to fit. Although, YoYo may well end up being it.
BTW, she slept soundly until 3 am, which was the end of that. She and Mojo played some this morning, and I think they're going to do well.
Pelle,
That does sort of look like me when I get up in the morning--without the makeup, unless it's after an unusually exciting evening. 15139. wonkers2 - 5/25/2005 5:19:27 PM Mago, Our internet connection was down for 10 days until we finally figured out we needed a new modem and waited for it to arrive. But I have been busy--sailing season has started and the Cap'n's first race was last Saturday. 15140. wabbit - 5/25/2005 6:21:05 PM I always try to avoid giving animals names that rhyme with a common command, like *no*. They don't always differenciate and it gets too confusing.
Of course, my furpeople end up with names like Woobus, Oohpah and Keevan, so perhaps I should stay out of this! 15141. Ms. No - 5/25/2005 6:33:35 PM Apparently my shack has a tenant....well, at least in the front yard. The construction crew has noticed that their work is often observed by a rather large groundhog they've christened Mr. Fatty. I keep waiting for his progress report.
