WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BECOME ADULTS?
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chauncey, feelin' a little lucky this morning, eh?
Chauncey: What you talkin' 'bout Willis?
KD: Who's Willis? Dude, I'm talkin' 'bout you laying on the cat...
C: Oh...We're buds...we play all the time
KD: But Chauncey, you're normally enemies.
C: Dude, we're kids, we only become enemies as adults.
KD: Sad how that happens...
HEY GUYS, A LITTLE SECRET, IT'S OKAY TO BE SENSITIVE
Ken-Dogger: Morning Fido, what gives?
Fido: That wild lady down the street gives, oh…you meant the rose

Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Dolby, why the look?
Dolby: Dude, today’s the Big Game…
KD: Yep, Super Bowl, it should be awesome.
D: I’d agree about the game, it’s the other stuff…
KD: Other stuff?
D: The weaponization, the angst of all the stuff not in the actual playing.
KD: Would be cool if we could just enjoy the combatants on the field and just love the competition.
D: Can I get odds on that?
GOING TECHNO - WHATEVER WORKS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chopper, you tired buddy?
Chopper: Well, yeah...
KD: This playing in the backyard is good for you.
C: Dude, I get the benefit, could we work on the metering?
KD: Metering?
C: Dogger-Man, Rome wasn't built in a day, these legs aren't growing overnight...Muscles grow during rest, not during stress.
KD: Okay, I'll back off, didn't have to go all techno on me...
C: I'm resting...whatever works dude, whatever works.
LAUGHING - THE BETTER PART OF VALOR
Ken-Dogger: Morning guys, hey Momma, you takin’ care of Dutch?
Momma: Yep, the lessons continue…
KD: Catching up on the news?
M: Nope, teaching him the nuance of comics…
Dutch: Yea, comics are weird…Why do peeps make fun of each other?
KD: It’s a way of dealing with some of the issues we have in the World.
D: By laughing?
KD: Sometimes, it’s the better part of valor…
Dixiee kept me out of trouble
Morning Rocking Friends,

Dixiee: What? You tired of ol’ time rock and roll?
KD: We’ve done the sliding cross the floor thing…
D: You didn’t call the hookers did you?
KD: NO…just cause the Mikster is away, it doesn’t mean all Hell breaks loose…

D: Just channeling the fun, bro, just channeling the fun…
NEEDING MORE HEADS IN THE GAME
Morning Citizen Leaders,
Ken-Dogger: What up Faust?
Faust: Where we headed today?
KD: Well, I’m working, not sure what’s on your agenda.
F: It’s not about my agenda, it seems to only be about the masses now.
KD: Masses?
F: Yes, those who keep wagging tails, like that is what we need to catch.
KD: You don’t want to catch some tail?
F: Nope, I’m looking to catch heads…We need more HEADS in the game, not wagging tails.
GETTING MY WAGGISH ON
Morning Whimsical Ones,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleo, what up?
Cleo: Hey Dogger…Well, I’m going out on a whim.
KD: Don’t you mean going out on a limb?
C: What’s that?
KD: It’s when you take a risk or a daring step.
C: Nope, that’s NOT what I mean, way too much daring risk going on. I’m going for playfully quaint, waggish even.

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...

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

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...
THE CHIEFS ARE STILL RIDING THIS TRAIN...THIS FROM 2020
Ken-Dogger: Morning Chief, some game huh?
Chief: It was Bro, tied at the half in the middle of a 17-point swing followed by a 21-point swing.
KD: I’m impressed you followed all of that, Mahomes sure is special isn’t he?
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.
BEING BUDS

Cochise: Dude, you're the adult, but I'm thinking it's my shadow...
KD: Get back inside...quickly, did anyone see you?

C: I'm hip...
