Focusing on a DIAGNOSIS
Ken-Dogger: Brutus, you're looking a little sad today.
Brutus: I am, but I'm not sure whether I should be happy or sad.
KD: Why's that fella?
B: Well, I've been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) so normally I'm sad in winter
KD: Okay, get that, so why the imbalance?
B: Dude, you've seen this weather, cold one day, hot the next, I'm not thinking it's SAD, I'm thinking I'm cyclothymic...
KD: Brutus, it's still seasonal...
THREADS BIND...WE NEED MORE WEAVERS
Morning Weavers,

Rascal: Bro, everyday’s a big day when I’m in it.
KD: Full of yourself this morning; no, I mean the Super Bowl.
R: Wow, weren’t we just here?
KD: Seems like it, but they played a season.
R: That’s no small feat given the year we’ve had.
KD: That’s true, there are many threads woven in a country…

R: We need more weavers Bro, more weavers…

I SAID HEY, WHAT AM I PREPPIN' FOR?
Ken-Dogger: Winkin, what are you doing?
Winkin: I'm pattin' Blinkin's head for a job well-done
KD: That's nice dude, you think that is your job?
W: Well I've been watching this human work thing, those that pat heads get the most money.
Blinkin: Yeah, what's up with that?
KD: As peeps move up the chain, they do less 'real work' and more glad-handing
W: They're getting ready to run for Congress?
KD: Something like that...
SECURITY - IT'S IN THE COMPACT OF CARE
Ken-Dogger: Morning Fluffer, you’re looking secure this morning…
Fluffer: I AM Bro…nice and snug and secure
KD: Wow, a comforting thought…
F: I haven’t been on Earth for a long time, but this security thing seems important…
KD: It is, people want to know they can be secure in their surroundings, free of excess fear…
F: Well, I give you love, you give me security, I’ll take that compact.
KD: It’s yours for the taking…It’s what caring folks do
SAD, IT'S NOT THE GAME

Ralph: I am, got my outfit on.
KD: I see you're a Pats fan, the balls deflated
Ralph: Dude, will we ever hear the end of that?
KD: Don't think so, but what are you betting?
Ralph: I got money on over/under and # of timeouts called in the first quarter.
KD: They've got some weird bets this year. I'm keeping my money on Giselle goin' off, that's a no-brainer
Ralph: Give me $50 on that one too...

C: He is, and seems like a quality guy, but my heart was all in for Andy
KD: The Big Red Bear?
C: That would be Mr. HOF Andy Reid, last night clinched it…
KD: Yep, icing on the cake bro, icing on the cake.
