It cracks me up that Sal refers to me as a "soccer mom".

My kids did play sports and collectively they competed in:

Baseball
Softball
Basketball
Volleyball
Cheer Leading
Swim
Dive
Track
and Gymnastics, but no Soccer, lol!

His new album, "American Gargler," will be appearing in the children's section of Barnes and Noble this fall.

He's recording it under the name "Kurt Z."

Please accept my curtsey for that one.

I'm already keeping my eye out for his rappin' YouTube videos so I can alert TB to have his little guy watch them.

I dunno, Terra. I'm sure that the WF would be glad to get up a fund raiser for me to take the trip back to shut something like that off.

Actually - a better idea. Start putting together text clips. When I get back we'll pop some asti and pass a few fatties and make one together. This place could use a little shakin' up, I'm thinking.

Since I'm a victim of having to listen to this c r a p (omg, am I my parents?), there's a party in the house, or in the house, in the house, in the house seems to be some of the most common phrases.

Maybe I should consider songwriting. Nah.

My dog wrote this for the aspiring rappers, Terra and HeySal.

Warrior Lady's Rap

The drums are a thumpin'
with Terra K a jumpin'
to the jams we be pumpin'
see her shake her rumpin'
to the beat, so sweet
like a doggie after meat
can't take the heat?
beat a fast retreat!
Look, here come's HeySal
looking for her K pal
they love Asti so well
drink until they can't tell
a Warrior from a foyer
so they holler for Tom Sawyer
and they fall down
on the ground, roll around
laughing to the silly sound
of their own rapping
while clapping, and snapping
up the fatties, smoking
joking, and poking
fun at us all, 'cept Paul
that's all.

LOL! LOL! LOL! you guys!

I'm laughing so hard the occipitals in the back of my head hurt and my eyes are literally crying real tears.

Oh and give your dog a treat! He's amazing!

LOL Joe!

Don't worry, I'm not the fighting kind of girl.

We do keep telling ourselves that simply because it's true. What size package do you think a gold bar comes in or a 3 carat diamond ring for that matter?

I could see it as a SyFy movie, so I'll do what they do and write an entire script for it in the next five minutes .

Or we could go with an urban theme in "shorties" could be gangsta women. It would also fit in with the rapping soccer mom theme we seem to have going now.

Think Terra is spot on with the "quietness" and the way the replies are popping up in this thread, it seems the *RUBBISH* is getting the better of some of the old school

Problem with coming in a lot, is back in the day, you could actually have a decent, interesting and positive conversation about your day/week/life/plans, but now, by the time you get through the crap-o-la posts and bot remarks, you sort of feel... well... Drained!

Nice to see the old vet KimW, still kicking about with the our Time Share kidney still in doing it's magic!

Maybe Terra, you could start a little PMA thread to see who else pops up, that has gone walkabout

Thank you DaddyKool!

I'm sorry that I've used up my thanks for a bit, if I hadn't, you'd surely have one!

It's very nice to meet you by the way.

I know, it is a crying shame that the undesirable nonsensical, self promotional, argumentative as well as the spamvertising posts are chasing away some of the best people I've had the pleasure and honor of learning from and making friends with.

It does get rather trying at times.

By PMA, do you mean Positive Mental Attitude? Starting a thread like PMA Challenged People Need Not Reply?

I do try to report as many of the posts that break the rules as I can, and I know that others do as well, but it seems as of late, there are just too many for us all to keep up with.

I'm hoping it's just a summer thing!

Again, nice making your acquaintance!

"The media" likes simple terms to describe certain ideas. The term "soccor mom" morphed into something that has NOTHING to do with soccer. It has to do with mothers that stereotypically....

drive vans
take their kids to sporting events/practice
are passionate about their kids treatment and sometimes their victories at sports
Maybe help out at the events
etc....

I've been writing songs since I was a teenager. With that experience and the help of the Rhyme Zone, it took about two minutes to write that.

I've never tried writing rap before, but I wouldn't exactly say it was fun. Sort of, because I like to write, but not really because it's just throwaway words. It's more fun to write keepers.

Yep - and I realize the age reference doesn't quite fit you but for some reason when I saw it the only thing that went through my mind was "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena".

Hi HeySal,

This comment is slightly off-topic to the thread, but I noticed your new avatar and it reminded me of my old dog Scooby Doo who sadly isn't with us anymore.

Yeah, I know that there are various breeds which have similar markings, so it's not so amazing, but it reminded me of some happy memories so I thought I'd make this post. Scoob was a cross-breed that I got from a dog's home as a pup and lived to be 15 human years old.

I only had to have a quick skim of my old photos to find one where he was adopting a similar cool pose -

Scooby Doo (RIP)





Edit - anyone know how to insert an attached image? I've attached it OK but then copied the warrior url and inserted the url via the 'image' icon. The image showed when I first posted, but now it's gone.

Is it to do with a fix applied to the forum to stop cookie-stuffing or something? If not, I'd love to know. For now I'll host it and add it to the post (which is why it's showing now).

Scooby Doo (RIP)

You are being off topic in the OT?

Um........you might wanna try that pic again. I don't see one in the post.

I've seen several pooches that look like Ricky. None of them are the same breed as the next - mostly mutts, just as Ricky is. Rick definitely has either Rottie or Greater Swiss Mountain in him - most likely Rott because Greater Swiss are rare. What else is the mystery. But........

It doesn't matter to me. I'd like to know, of course, but most likely never will. He's one kewl little guy, though, and that's all that matters to me. I love the heck out of him. I also have no clue how old he is........he's old though. There's no two doubts about that. I wish he was younger so we would have more time together, but we've already bought him a few years he didn't have - and I can only hope for a few more. He's got a lot of personality.

I'm sorry Scooby is no longer around. One of the great injustices on this earth is that dogs have such short lifespans. We know they will be leaving us when we meet them, though - and all we can do is enjoy them while they are here. Dogs are patient. They wait for us on the other side without complaint.

[seasoned]

Heysal,

Hopefully you see it now. The face seems virtually IDENTICAL! Same size, same white spots over the eyes, same black ridge over the nose, same nose, same pattern of white and black on the face. Perhaps the same tounge. Yeah, I know, VERY similar to many, but isn't it interesting how something SO complex can be so similar?

Steve

[HeySal]

I can see it now. Scoobies face is narrower than Rickie's - other than that you are right, they could be brothers. This is a better picture of my guy - taken just a few weeks back, 2 years after the vet told my sister to put him down (cancer). This pic shows his true proportions better. You can see the rot in him. You can't see the rot in his personality, but after owning 3, I sure can.

What breed mix was scoobie?

[ExRat]

Hi Sal,

Yeh, seeing that new pic I can see that Rickie is very different - much bigger for a start. But a gorgeous dog I might add.

There are quite a few breeds with these markings Steve.

For example -

Dobermann

Scooby most resembled a -

Manchester terrier in terms of size and look (see the second pic down at the previous link - but his ears were different - when he was a pup, they were up, then they were half-up (and at one stage one was up and one was down - very amusing) and eventually they were down).

He was actually a cross from a Labrador mother and a Dachsund father! (Everyone laugh in unison, now! - Labs are big and Dachsunds are tiny...how on earth did they do the deed??!!)

The Dachsund dad is where he got the markings.

Unless I'm mistaken, the brown (not white, Steve!) markings above the eyes are there so that when the dog is asleep, some predators will see the two brown 'eyebrow' markings and think that they are eyes and that the dog is awake and staring back at them.



With my dog, he also had a brown patch around his rear end and when his tail was down, it split this in two (his tail was black) which therefore made his back end have two brown patches, which perhaps look like eyes to a predator with doggy-type vision.



Apologies for going off topic in the off topic and turning it into a dog pic thread!

[MissTerraK]

No problem Exrat, and no need to apologize.

I absolutely adore dogs and could spend hours looking at pics of them.

Going off topic is sort of what we down here in the OT lounge.

Terra

[Kurt]

There's a variety of dog breeds with similar markings other than Rotties or Greater Swiss Mountain...

Doberman
Black and tan coonhound
Gordon setter
Minature pinscher

...And probably a couple I'm forgetting at the moment.

What a beauitful pic Sal. I just had to paint a picture!

[HeySal]

That second pic shows that the only real similarities between Ricky and Scoobie is coloration. Ricky is built like a Rottie that didn't grow full size. He's only 60 pounds.

But who cares what they are really? They are kewl people and that is why we love them so.

[HeySal]

Pretty kewl, Jody. Yeah - that field of forget-me-nots at the reservoir really made a beautiful setting for a pic of my boy. Of course - if his fur was dry other than his head and neck he'd look even better, LMAO.
