That's some pretty serious Systematic desensitization therapy right there. Kind of all or nothing, eh? You're either cured or wind up in a permanent fetal position.

This would explain why the Romney campaign was Genuinely Shocked at Loss, despite all the (publicly) available info that should not have given them any reason for confidence.

That story is getting stranger by the minute.


And even stranger yet. I may actually go buy a legit popcorn maker for this one.

Needs some cheesy frame rate speedup and a Yakkity Sax music track.

Mud scraper training?

Haha, the whole time I was watching this I was trying to figure out how such a small instrument could produce so much resonance then it was shown as attached to a larger board at the end.

And then Palpatine stepped into the ring and kicked everyone's ass

He just woke up from the surgery and looked down.

Looks like Supercat has been partaking of some super herbs.

I'd like see how he would do on some plum poles, pretty good I'd bet.

Strap a CCD to his melon and you've got a pretty cheap steadycam.

A few winged devils swooping out the clouds and snatching people up would make this considerably more interesting.

That was.....beautiful.

kids that age should not be allowed near dogs. They pull, poke, prod etc. Then the parents wonder why the dog snaps...

Or the dog could just get up and walk away if it was bothered, which it clearly wasn't.

The video is short, maybe it did walk away. But, chances are, the kid would follow and the owner would allow it to. I have had 2 German shepherds (individually) and currently I have a Tamaskan(mighty wolf). I can assure you that they have, no matter how well trained, their moods. I never allowed my young kids - or any one elses - to pull, prod, torment, or stand on them (especially when the dog was sleeping). My point is simple. It's NOT worth the risk. There are innumerable reports of dogs just snapping and attacking kids and adults. In 99.9% of cases it is the owners, not the dogs fault. Why would anyone, in their right mind, take the chance of having their kid scarred for life(or worse), the dog put to sleep, and having to live the rest of their lives with the guilt. I'm sorry my response is a bit long winded but, sometimes, even the obvious needs pointing out.


The only thing "obvious" is that if you truly believe that is a real possibility, then you should not have those dogs to begin with. If they cannot be trusted, then don't worry about supervision, worry about why you are insistent on keeping them and maintaining a dangerous situation.

I am now done.
