DIRECTIONALITY...IT CAN BE BEFUDDLING
"Hey, check this out, took me most of the morning Ma, but I've finally got both ears going in the same direction...
What you say?
To a Beagle, this is no small feat."
As Richard Pryor once mused, "why you guys hold your stuff?"
"You've done taken everything else..."
"What you talkin' 'bout Willis? I'm checkin' cause you see what they did to the tail...Tell me, can you see 'em, or did they take them too? Well, are they there?"
STILL TRYING TO FIX IT
Morning Fixers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Quigley, why the look?
Quigley: Did Rudy G get paid?
KD: What? You’re concerned about that? Isn’t that Rudy’s problem?
Q: It is, it’s also ours…
KD: Not sure I follow…
Q: Well, it’s really more about the End of a Story, we never seem to get there.
KD: Does leave stuff open and easily escaped, doesn’t it?
Q: Yep, it’s just a series of ‘new stuff’ anymore, cycle seems broken.
KD: Then we need to get about fixing the cycle.
THEY OFTEN TELL US ABOUT THE NECESSARY RESTRICTIONS
"Okay, okay, okay, I know I said it before...But if you'd help me out of this box for the 20th time, I promise, well I hope to promise, the 21st time won't come soon, well, soooo soon....
Ma, you might also consider not putting these fun things in places where I can get to..."
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU MODEL
Ken-Dogger: Hey Brutus, you getting up?
Brutus: (Opens one eye, closes again) ZZZZZ
KD: It's okay, I'm up and I can't get back to sleep
B: ZZZZZ
KD: Did you hear me?
B: ZZZZZ
KD: Wait, did the Mikster tell you to ignore me?
B: ZZZ, nope, I just watched her, learned it all on my own
KD: Et tu, Brutus, et tu...
Ken-Dogger: What up Fredo?
Fredo: Did you see that case of Stolen Valor yesterday?
KD: No, I didn’t, what do you mean?
F: That Executive Order on Social Media, that’s what I mean.
KD: Oh, that’s just Trump feeling aggrieved.
F: And he was aggrieved because Twitter stole his valor.
KD: Did finally create decisive action from the White House.
F: Yes, just sad, the Vainglorious get action, the masses get graves.
KD: Yep, when valor saves one to the exclusion of 100,000, it is stolen.
Hoo-hoo that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Middle Pup: I know, I know Ma, I'm supposed to be posing for this great puppy pic, but....well, I just farted and I'm laughing cause my peeps are tryin' to keep a straight face..."
Special Memorial Day edition...Respecting the Flag
Yet kneeling is unacceptable...
Ken-Dogger: Hey Venkman, what up?
Venkman: Dude, concerned about morality.
KD: Really…
V: Well, there are two strands now…Morality and Two-Days Hence Morality
KD: Two-Days?
V: Well, there are peeps who respond to moral outrage, and then there are those who wait for public response and then two days later, they get to moral outrage.
KD: So. there’s an incubation period?
V: Apparently…For those who aren’t firm on what morality is…
KD: And for those whose morality blows with the wind.
DISCRIMINATION...IT'S NOT A FORCED CHOICE
"I know, I don't know how it happens either...Some of us are brown on the outside and white inside, some of us are white on the outside and brown inside, some white and white, some brown and brown."
"So,...it really doesn't matter what color on either side?"
"Nope, never did, unless you choose to use color to discriminate..."
DEFINING MASCULINITY
Ken-Dogger: Morning Princess
Princess: Morning KD, let’s go on a walk.
KD: Let’s just wait for the Mikster, she enjoys the walks too.
P: You just don’t want to be seen with me do you?
KD: Well, you ARE a bit froufrou.
P: Really, I’m impacting your masculinity?
KD: It is silly, my masculinity isn’t that fragile.
P: Didn’t think it was, so we’re walking?
KD: Yep, masculinity is about doing what’s right.
Ken-Dogger: Hey Jacque, did you hear about America’s newest status symbol?
Jacque: No, but I think I’m gonna…
KD: Shush…Apparently, we’re beefing up backyards, making them their own fun park.
J: Wow, more places to segregate us huh?
KD: Would appear that way, you know we closed community pools rather than integrate them.
J: Yep, and now we’re closing off homes. Maybe we weren’t meant to come together.
KD: No, we were…We just have powerful forces working to keep us apart.
