Evidently you are, if you claim to have my home address, and a photo of
my child. That qualifies as stalking.

I most cretainly did not. You are the only one who would have thought
anything bad about that comment in the context in which it was posted,
and the fact that you did speaks volumes about your moral character.

Stalker. And you just libeled yourself again. You keep insisting I
have made derrogatory comments about my son when I have not.

It's called free speech. Calling someone an asshole isn't a crime.
Publishing lies about them is.

Jebediah Muffinbaker was a ranch hand in the Old West. The work was hard,
but he was a hard man, looking back on thirty-five hard years since he was
pulled from his hard mother's womb. After a long week under the brassy sun,
he liked nothing better than to go into the local saloon for some drinkin',
some spittin', and especially, some fightin'. Many a Saturday sunrise saw
Jebediah limping back to the ranch with a black eye and a happy (albeit
gap-toothed) smile. Folks around said, "He don't MEAN nothin' by it, that's
just his way."

Enrique Estancia de la Murrianchalendo was a saturnine hidalgo, heir to the
vast Murrianchalendo goat-fur empire. Quick-witted, quick-tempered, and
quick in the sack (hey, it happens to everybody...), he sometimes hosted a
poker game in the lobby of the brothel. He wasn't particularly GOOD at
poker, but he liked to play.

Sometimes two men just don't cotton to each other: Like dogs in a pit or
cocks in a ring, they just know they're bound to fight. That was the case
one Saturday night, as Jebediah and and Enrique both reached for the handle
of the outhouse door at the same time.

"Vatchoo DOOING, esse?" snarled Enrique. "Zhoo better RECKANIZE, and step
off!"

A crowd of onlookers started to gather as Jebediah stood his ground, leaned
forward, and carefully spat a chunk of thoroughly-masticated tobacco on the
ground, not two millimeters from Enrique's glossy flamenco-style boots.
Adding insult to insult, he followed up with, "You feelin' froggy, boy?
Think you wanna jump? Come ON, then, you just brang it ON, son! BRANG it,
boy, BRANG it! But it'll have to wait until after I use this here outhouse,
because some things just cain't wait."

Enrique was indeed froggy, and he would have dearly loved to jump, but he
had a much more pressing need, namely, the urgent need to evacuate his
colon. And it really couldn't wait much longer. To save face, he came up
with a
proposal.

"I got no time to mess witchoo, vato. If you gotta go as bad as I do, I
guess
we can SHARE the outhouse. But I'm not funny like that, got it?"

Jebediah countered with, "How about this: You sit sideways facing the wall,
and I'll sit sideways facing the other wall?"

Enrique agreed hurriedly: "Right! You go your way, I go mine and we agree to
ignore each other completely."

I still have to go with heart over head. That might have been okay for a
vicious dog or truly dangerous wild animal, but the poor little rabbit only
wanted food. I can't think of any viable solution other than relocation.

May he rest in peace.

I see. Your flawed logic says that because a native had to ask what animal
was hanging in the window, it could not have been dogs because he would've
known that already? Is that it? Be careful with your response.

The flawed logic is all yours. Guess again if you have nothing better
to do.

I wonder if you realise that this so-called discussion is completely
nonsensical, given that dogs have never been used for food in Italy
except during famines in times long past? Not to mention that it is
just as illegal as elsewhere in the "civilised West".

Not by me. They took it for testing. I told them I would like to know

Whatever you say, Victor. Keep in mind that it's impolite to doubt other
peoples' experiences because they don't match your fairy tale idea of how
the world really is.

How silly a way to twist what he actually did say. He said it wasn't
possible for cultural and legal reasons. Only someone utterly unfamiliar
with Italian reality could actually believe that they were selling dogs
for human consumption.

Your recollection of 40 odd years ago simply doesn't jibe with Roman
custom. Either your "friend" had his leg pulled or he pulled yours.

Italians don't eat dogs. It's really very simple. My observation is
based on experience, not imagination. It's outside the Italian culinaria
and outside the law.

Are you enjoying your upside-down position? Isn't it getting a tad
uncomfortable after a while, though?

ObButcheredDog: A recipe I once posted - Korean, mind you - for dog
with black beans, from a no-longer-existing Web site. It is now
available at
<http://pittsford.monroe.edu/sutherland/depts/sstudies/jdejoy/Motivation.ppt>.

Victor

DOG WITH BLACK BEAN

1 young dog 1 year of age
oil
2/3 soup bowl of black beans (the dry, non-salted kind)
Dried bean curd, soaked and cut into pieces
Soy sauce or sugar

Butcher and take dog meat and fry in oil, until lightly browned. Take
black beans in the bowl, rinse and soak. Cook meat with beans until
juices come out. Add a little water and stir bean curd into the meat.
Simmer and season with soy sauce or sugar to taste. Serve the dish with
white rice.

I know of too many people who have lost their entire chicken flocks
to neighbors' dogs. Unless you catch them on film, there is pretty much
nothing you can do. The police try to be helpful, but there isn't a
lot. You can legally kill the dog if you see it on your property, and
since so many of the neighbors don't seem to care that their dogs are
running loose and killing other people's animals, that seems like a
reasonable response. I wouldn't eat it, but I have no problem with
those people who would.

When I lived in the South a guy's dogs got loose and ravaged another man's

I have a pet rabbit who I love dearly. He's smart, quiet (unlike our dogs)
and seems to be very content with life (probably knowing he'll never make the
trip into the kitchen). A wonderful little guy who's been with us for a
couple of years and I hope for a long and healthy life in the future.

Btw, his name is Lefty ;-)

As a responsible dog owner (and rabbit too as I mentioned in another thread.
Ok, a budgie & some fish as well) the only thing you can do is complain to
the city about the dog. Our two are fenced in and likewise are the neighbors
dogs as well. It's a very rare case to see a dog running loose in our city
and when it does happen, it's due to human error which of course is excusable
to a point. Complain, complain complain to the city and the owner will
eventually get the message. It's not the dogs fault in the least and the
owner should be the one in the pen...

Yep I know where you and they are coming from. Farmers do the same with
strays here too out of necessity. We're lucky the lease law if so
strict as that does cut down on stray dogs. Ferral cats and other wild
critters are another matter.

Lefty is the Steve McQueen of rabbits. Yes, cool is an understatement ;-)

Well, if your rabbit go out and was being a nuisance in my garden it
would suffer the same fate as the one I orignally posted about. I would
not hesitate to call Animal Control again if the traps failed to catch
it. I'm glad you like your pet but your pet has no right being on my
property.

If my rabbit did get out and you caught him in your yard I would appreciate
you reporting the incident. I agree with you, he's got no right in your
yard anymore than has any other unwanted animal in mine. That's basically my
point, that it's not the animals fault when they get loose, it's the owners.
I consider myself a responsible pet owner but let's be real about it, people
can and do make mistakes.

I do everything humanly possible (remember the key word here, humanly) to
keep my animals off other people's property and that is the very best I can
do...

Sounds like the groundwork for a tit for tat thing in which no one wins.
Obviously from your term of endearment, you aren't fond of her. There
are three ways to deal with this one. Either take the dog home and
continue to condone it (enables the owner), take the dog home and calmly
explain the dog rules in your area and tell her if the dog is in your
yard again you will call Animal Control (makes the owner responsible),
or call Animal Control and have them pick the dog up (penalizes the
owner but can be a good eye opener). Your neighbour sounds like she
would claim the dog anyway. What your really don't want to do is get
into a ****ing match with her. I hope you find a solution.

You would change your mind if you knew what happened to the rabbit I
reported. We tried to trap the thing several nights in a row. My one
neighbour kept trying to use a pellet gun on it. I finally called
Animal Control who destroyed the animal on the spot. It took them a
good part of the day to finally get it too.

In our city you make the reports to the Humane Society for Animals. A much
better idea that simply Animal Control. In fact, that's where we adopted
Lefty from ;-)

Sorry to hear that Michael. It makes life rather uncomfortable when you
have to deal with unreasonable or just down right nasty neighbours.
Whether she realizes it or not, she is infringing on your rights. It
doesn't sound like she cares much for her dog either. A dog running
loose could easily get hit by a car, poisoned, attacked by other animals
including humans and it just isn't fair to the dog. Sounds to me like
the best solution would be to contact Animal Control. Chances are good
if fines are involved she might change her mind. Good luck.
