How We See Ourselves in Online Fights:

How Everyone Else Sees Us:

Picture via @jonahgoldberg. I have no idea what it's about or why it was made. But I thought I had to find some way to share it.

They're corgis, apparently.

I asked a really dumb question, but I have to know: Is it possible this is real? Like, they put little weapon-gloves on the corgis to make them hold the weapons?

Because I'd like it to be real.

40 also, that artist was visited by a USDA SWAT team and held at gunpoint, along with his family and visiting friends, for 7 hours while the USDA put each one of the corgis to death, because of some bullshit regulation. Also, they accidentally shot the cat. While their 5 year old son was holding it. Luckily, the corgi puppy mill up the street was granted a waiver by Obama after donating $1M to fund obamacare.

Mrs. Phinn and I once had a Shar Pei that failed obedience training three times. We kept getting bumped down into the remedial class, again and again. By the time we were at the lowest level -- reform school for dogs -- our dog's classmates were some pretty hard cases.

The worst, most difficult dog in that lowest-rung class? A Yorkie. Obstinate little fucker.

The only type of dog the instructor refused to even admit to his class, even the remedial one? Jack Russells.

Untrainable, he said.

Crossbows are stupid. The stupidest weapon ever, btw. I cringed when I saw Joffrey get his new crossbow this season. It's a weapon for dinks.

68 Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first corgi for about a half an hour. Tricolor. Good six pounds, maybe six and a half. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the ears to the curled-over tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, corgis come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: corgi comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the corgi will go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that corgi he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a corgi... he's got adorable eyes. Honey-colored eyes. Like a doll's eyes. A really cute doll with floppy ears. And then he licks you, Chief. He licks you right on the nose.

Crossbows are stupid. The stupidest weapon ever, btw. I cringed when I saw Joffrey get his new crossbow this season. It's a weapon for dinks.

-----------------------------

They're easy to use. They don't require years of training to use effectively, and not having a disproportionately strong draw arm for the bowstring isn't going to keep you from punching holes in things with a crossbow bolt.

Swords are stupid, though, unless they're using mass formations (and though I haven't seen the series, I'm pretty confident that they're not). Spears are much easier to make and use, and are reasonably effective at holding people off in barely-trained hands.

My 2 Yorkies would take on those Corgis, they are that brazen.

My littlest one charged a pit bull once.

We'd stopped at our friends' house with our 2 "girls." Our friends didn't tell us they'd bought a pit bull. So we got a big surprise when they opened their front door. He came bounding out of the house - straight at us. And my 4 lb Yorkie jumped out of my arms and went after him - barking like mad while chasing him down the street.

And I was chasing them both. Scared the hell out of me. But poor Chief was whining. I don't think he knew what hit him. Luckily he didn't turn on her.

She's a little brat, but fearless.

Needless to say, we make sure both girls are on leads before we open our car doors anymore.

144 If we're talking doggehs I ended up with my late wife's Border Collie- which she thought was a small Golden Retriever. The widow lady I'm seeing grew up with Border Collies and identified him for me. I had what I thought was "a big mutt with some Mastiff in her because she's so incredibly strong" abandoned here. When the house next door was being demolished one of the crew asked about her, I told him my theory- "Nope- Rhodesian Ridgeback- look it up on the web...." And that is indeed what Sasha is- a Lion Dog. She is as strong as a strong man and incredibly protective of me and Cole-boy.

173 Two points:

1) I have two corgis. Really smart, but tend to 'herd' people (Buddy, the male, sometimes tries to keep me from leaving for work by doing the heeler thing and pretending to bite my ankle). Good watch dogs, though, will definitely let you know if someone is snooping around your house.

2) Moorcock (what a great name for an author) did a much better job with the Corum series. If you ever wonder where the idea for the Eye and Hand of Vecna came from in D and D, they took it directly from the Corum series (long story short, hero loses eye and hand, has it replaced with demon eye and hand, proceeds to fuck shit up). I give it three thumbs up.
