Unpossible: Dog Dances The Merengue
— Ace

Of course we already knew this wasn't unpossible. There was that old, classic video of a dog and its mistress dancing to a medley from Grease.

Thanks to Rob.

Fake? Some commenters smell a viral campaign and CGI or SFX tricks.

I honestly only watched the first minute. I never suspected or detected fakery. But maybe I was just being dopey.

I want to believe a dog can dance.

2 Such well-trained dogs. My german shepherd drools at imaginary spots on the floor, my newf drools on me, and my lab steals the good recliner.

10 5-tell me-when we lived in Jordan, locals tried to kill our dogs by giving them treats laced with poison. Our babies survived but not for long-we lost our first chocolate lab less than a year later. Jerks.

11 " Yep, smart dogs train their people, not the other way around." So true. My beagle takes MY spot on the couch if I get up to get anything. The little bitch knows exactly what she's doing. Oh, and that isn't profanity, she really is a bitch.

Really? That's the thing that bothered you?

I'm really bothered most by their religion starting with an "I" but that they are called "muslims". I find that really bothersome. After all Christians follow christianity, buddists follow budda, confucians follow confucians, protestants protest, environmentalists worship the environment, but muslims follow islam? Huge problem with that. Huge.

I have it on good authority that Henery Stern, the NYC Parks Commissioner during the Rudy Administration was once holding some event in Chinatown. Stern had his Golden Retriever with him. A group of Chinese kids gathered around Stern and his dog at one point, and one of the kids asked, very politely, "may we pet your dog?" Stern replied: you can pet the dog, but you may not eat the dog."

80 Retrievers are very, very smart.

That being said, back in the Vaudeville days, a lot of dogs were trained to do not just tricks and dances but whole routines.

Oh, and the obligatory "don't let Muslims play with your dogs." I have known a couple of exceptions to that rule, but even moderate Muslims, for the most part, have a hard time being human to a dog.

After all, they have to emulate Muhammed, and Muhammed hated dogs. And people.

Subject: Fw: FW: Plane crash in Tennessee

A plane crashed in the middle of rural Tennessee.
Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended on the farm in
force.

When they got there, the disaster was clear.
The aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hulk left smoldering
in a tree line that bordered a farm.

The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but could find no remains
of anyone.
They spotted a lone farmer plowing a field not too far away as if nothing
had happened.
They hurried over to the man's tractor.

"Hank," the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. "Did you see this
terrible accident happen?".
"Yep. Sure did." the farmer mumbled unconcernedly, cutting off the
tractor's engine.
"Do you realize that is the airplane of the President of the United States
?"
"Yep."
"Were there any survivors?"
"Nope. They's all kilt straight out," the farmer answered. "I done buried
them all myself. Took me most of the morning.."

"President Obama is dead?" the sheriff shouted.

"Well," the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor. "He kept a-saying he
wasn't... But you know how bad that sumbitch lies."

but, but, but, if he were a dem he wouldn't be quitting and he'd be wearing it as a badge of honor.
Beier mentioned something about "ethics charges", that shouldn't even matter, how many dems are up on ethics charges and have remained.
the Republicans should behave like the dems and refuse to quit.

113 OT but Drudge says we are giving 85 drones to Pakistan. Good idea giving Billions in technology to a muzzie country. Quick, China, Russia, Korea, Iran, what's your bid. These SOBs can't sell us out fast enough.

114 OK, that dog video was fun.

Although I think I still want the baby penguin.

oh Lord, reload:

"President Barack Obama said Thursday that the Justice Department will try to "root out" cases of fraud or manipulation in oil markets, even as Attorney General Eric Holder suggested a variety of legal reasons may be behind gasoline's surge to $4 a gallon."

Yeah, there might be "legal " reasons the price of something goes up. Sounds like they're trying to set up a lynching as a legal proceding. Maybe the Repubs in the House can hold hearings on why the Obama Admin (I hope I'm remembering this correctly) insisted on supressing drilling in the Gulf of M when their own experts said there was no reason to ban it.

117 I don't think that the dog was doing anything unusual other than stay on it's hind feet so long. And dogs have been performing like that forever. The dog was watching the person and following the commands... mostly to walk backward. I don't see any reason to think it wasn't real.

118 Big Deal.

When that dog can dance the merengue while juggling ping-pong balls, lemme' know.
