I'm not gonna internet detective, I don't really care and I can respect privacy the way the internet can be nowadays. I have a standing offer to buy any of the Texas halforumites a beer or coffee or whatever if there's ever a meetup.

I love that shirt and keep eyeing it on ThinkGeek. Haven't bought it yet though.

Two levels of awesomeness for me today:
- I can officially marry people now. According to Vital Stats/Health Services (I have no idea why they deal with this paperwork, but whatever) I am now "authorized to solemnize marriage" as a religious representative. Woot! (and it only took 8 months of paperwork.)
- The funeral I was officiating today did not get rained out (we were out during one of the few dry times today), and I did not fall in the open grave or onto the casket. I consider this a considerable win. Particularly the 'not falling over' bit.

In breeding circles a female dog is never called a dog. If you say "dog" male is implied, and you have to use "bitch" for the females whenever you refer to them. You don't say, "Here I have a group of dogs" unless they really are all male. You say, "Here I have a group of bitches and dogs."

So "dog" is a male canis familairis, and "bitch" is a female canis familairis.

But that still doesn't help your joke, since outside the breeding world dog is used generically for both.

Thank you. Just checking. it's weird - stallion, mare and horse; bull, cow, heifer (etc) and cattle; buck, ewe, lamb and sheep, etc etc, but nothing for dogs?

Silly English-speaking folk. :p

Hey, when your language is built on mugging other languages in dark alleys and taking whatever they have in their pockets, you can't afford to be too picky.

That's what's so weird about it. You have 55 different names for cows in their different stages of not being fertile, being fertile but without calf, being pregnant, after one calf, after one-and-a-half calf, after lots of calves (that's a stienman, right?), after menopauze, when they're well-done, when they're still rare, and whatever, but you can't be bothered to steal a word from a language to signify "male dog"? :p (in Dutch, they're called a reu, if you must know).

See, we were thinking more along the lines of Seymore when we decided on the breed.

Was actullay going to be his name, and while not totally ruled out, I think we've more than likely settled on Ezra.

*I apologize in advance for all them feels.

The county fair is held in my town every year. Last night on the free stage, my brother and I got to see


They launched streamers out into the crowd




In his fat suit to sing "Fat".


Closer look at the fat suit.


Singing "The Saga Begins" with the local detachment of the 501st dancing on stage behind him.
