That's even more scary! He killed his mother just for a hat! You don't mess with Cubone!

And his mother was a kangaskhan.
Working hospital guard duty tonight on a murder suspect. Listening to the critical care ward nurses chat is amusing as hell - it's nice to hear "fuck" being used as a comma by a 135-lbs/61kg brunette.
Huh. I wanna go all @bhamv3 here but I ain't feelin' no mojo.
My dog got a little on the heavy side. He weighed 101 lbs. at his last physical. All of my dogs have eaten Dog Chow, all but one lived to be well over 10 years. The Vet said he is healthy besides the weight, so she recommended the Light version of Dog Chow. I buy the light stuff and mixed it in with what I had left of the regular stuff. Then I get one more bag of the light stuff and put him on that full time.
Up until this time my dog had the stamina to only go out twice a day for potty breaks. This last month, if I was home he would start whining to go out after only a couple of hours, and he would wake up in the night wanting to go out. Monday morning he was whining at 2 am, just 3 hours after getting let out. And his energy level has gone down noticeably. I don't know what Purina puts in there, but all the calories they removed must have been the best part of the food.
I did some research and found a brand at Tractor Supply the met my check boxes for food. Man, it is incredible just how quickly he has rebounded. Just three days later and he's running around like a puppy again (at 100lbs this can be a bad thing.) Going into winter I'll just adjust his exercise more to try and keep his weight down.

Some brands of dry food would give one of my dear late departed cats the worst case of explosive vomit and diarrhea. I'm suspect he was allergic to some semi common cat food ingredient.
Does your dog like people food? If so poached boneless chicken thighs (or boneless fish)+ spinach wouldbe a lean, healthy and cheapish meal for a dog. It's best to not substitute ALL of a dog or cats meals for home cooked though, as some essential nutrients might be missing.

I think they just hate being introduced to the concept, actually. "My will is my own," and all that. They're so predictable.

I've kept my dogs away from human food as much as possible. The dogs I had before were all German Shepherds. And they will starve themselves to near death if you give them something really yummy, to guilt you into letting them have it again. White bread is their weakness. So special treats on their dry vary from raw egg, bits of hotdog, small amounts of cheese (it don't take much to make them explosive.) Once Ralph started getting fat he went to dry only.

...ran into a future car salesman of America today.
Boy Scout: "excuse me sir, would you like to buy some popcorn?"
Me: "I'm sorry, I don't carry any cash." (Which is true. I only ever use debit or credit.)
BS: "Well, we take credit too, we have a Square."
Me: "...goddammit. Well played."

"Let me rephrase my answer. No."
I've been there.I just saw someone arguing that someone else was wrong when what that second person was saying boiled down to "I agree with you"
No you haven't.

I got a notification that I was being given a warning for a comment I made on Imgur, and the comment was deleted.
I make dozens of comments a day, how the heck am I supposed to know what I said so that I can, ostensibly, know not to say it again? I have no idea what comment I made, I don't even remember looking at the album in question.

You designed Monaco, then?
Aye. Playing F1, I find his tracks are the least interesting.At least it wasn't Hermann Tilke.
Mind you, I suck at Monaco. And Catalunya.

Friday I went to get my car washed after leaving work. It was after 7pm, so the sun was in the twilight hour and darkness was falling fast as I pulled into the drive-thru at Ducky's carwash. Normally there is an attendant or two at the entrance with a long handled brush to apply extra scrub to your windshield/headlights... but nowhere to be found this time. I waited, because they also give you hand signals to guide you onto the rails for the washer... and after about 10 seconds a guy in Ducky's uniform popped up from the tall grass off to the side in the gully near the back fence.
He came running up to the car and scrubbed my windshield, then offered me my choice of scented air fresheners and apologized for his tardiness explaining "there's this guy who thinks he can fight me, so I am over there teaching him a lesson." Confused, I looked over into the tall grass of the gully and couldn't see anybody else...
"You mean you're over there beating some guy up?" I asked. "Yeah!" he replied as he signaled me to steer onto the rail.
Once my car's wheel was secured in the guide, he ran back down into the gully. I lifted myself in my seat to peer down, and sure enough, he and another guy were grappling on the ground, fists swinging.
Huh.
The rest of the carwash was uneventful.
