someone adopt this dog

Seriously, because if you don’t, I’m probably going to cave and do it. Yes, I know we’ve only had him for a week, but c’mon. LOOK AT THAT FACE.

But here’s why I won’t adopt him. Riley’s not a fan. At all. The General, Riley, Kentucky and I are all sitting in the bedroom, which is always the way across the duplex from our kitchen, which is where Vicente (the adorable puppy featured above) sleeps at night. The problem is Vicente thinks he needs to be around everyone else when he sleeps and is very vocal about telling us this.

Right now, he’s making the saddest sounds he can possibly think of making, including whimpering and something closely related to a Velociraptor on it’s death bed. Trust me, it’s sad. Riley, the spoiled rotten dog that he is, jumped off the bed, walked to the kitchen to see what was going on, walked back into the bedroom and tried to close our bedroom door with his face. Riley’s tired of Vicente’s antics and needs you to adopt him.

Vicente is maybe 3 months old and comes from Isla Mujeres, Mexico. He’s been in the U.S. all of about a week now. He weighs around 10 pounds right now and is the sweetest little guy ever. He gets so excited when you pick him up that he’s close to shaking right out of his skin. Vicente is a big fan of watching TV on the couch, but is also absolutely hilarious when he decides he wants to play. Riley (at 75 lbs) and Kentucky (at 85 lbs) aren’t really the ideal playmates for him.

If you’re looking to adopt a puppy (spring’s right around the corner!) or know someone who might be interested in this little guy, you can find out more information at Pet Project Rescue’s website. (I also stole the above picture from them.)

little danger’s backup

February 17th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in Reviews

Ever since I got Little Danger the iPod Touch, I’ve been nothing short of obsessed with it. Games, apps, contacts, mp3s — I’ve pretty much decided to keep everything on it. Well, maybe not everything, but close. Now that iDrive has included the iPhone (which may as well mean the iPod Touch) in their free trial of Online Backup options, I’m one happy camper.

For free (yes, free), I have 2 GB of online storage that I can easily access via Little Danger. This means that sense I don’t have a photo-taking option on the iPod, I can pull up photos from the 2 gigs of space I have online pretty much anywhere I am, and that makes me pretty happy. It’s pretty much vital for me to be able to pull up a picture of me standing in Cozumel in front of a U.S. Coast Guard ship with a penis-shaped balloon hat in one hand and a yard from Senor Frog’s in the other. I mean, who knows when I might meet someone at the laundromat that would want to hear my sordid tales and see all plenty of pictures of drunken debauchery, right?

2 gigs probably isn’t a lot of room if you were using the site as an online backup option for an actual computer, but considering Little Danger only holds 8 gigs of incredibly important information anyway, the 2 GB options works really well. And anything free works really well in my opinion, too.

personalized license plate fiasco

“I want to tell people who I am and what I am. I’m proud of it. I’m openly gay. I’m not hiding,” said Keith Kimmel, 28, of Norman. “What better way to tell everybody than to put it on the back of a car?”

This kid wanted his license plates to read IM GAY. While I probably wouldn’t want that on my car, just to save it from being vandalized in some degree by crazies, this kid does, but Oklahoma’s not having it, because it might be offensive to some.

For years when I lived in Missouri, I had personalized license plates that read 2DOLLA. I knew what it meant, but one day when I was driving to St. Louis, someone passed me on the freeway waving two one dollar bills and making signs with his hands and mouth that are way too dirty for me to share.

I’ve seen personalized plates here that I can’t even figure out. And trust me, guys, I’m good at that. Remember that show Bumper Stumpers? I was un-frickin’-stoppable. For all I know, they’re making reference about the dirty things they want to do with roadkill. But you know what? I don’t care. It’s just like I don’t care about morons that have stickers with Calvin pissing on every symbol under the sun plastered to the back windshield of their pickup truck.

If the government would stop trying to control absolutely everything in the world during every minute of our life, I can almost guarantee you that we’d all be in a much happier place. I guess it’s a good thing that I’m rational. Otherwise, just to piss off the government, I’d be going out and marrying a duck and getting personalized plates that say DUCKFUCKER. Oh wait. Is that too many characters?
