Grown women usually in the 20-25 age range who have little stuffed teddy bears and other stuffed animals hanging off their backpacks. I mean what are you like ten years old?

We love dogs but….dogs that bark when a leaf falls from a tree or when an ant sneezes 200 yards away….and then keep barking as if they are surrounded by an invading army of cats. As I say…we love dogs…but dogs are idiots

That will probably be smaller dogs, they are terrible. My greyhound would not bark if Charles Cross was leaning over her 'mum' and stabbing away at her guts.Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View PostWe love dogs but….dogs that bark when a leaf falls from a tree or when an ant sneezes 200 yards away….and then keep barking as if they are surrounded by an invading army of cats.

Yeah it’s usually smaller dogs with, I’m guessing, Jack Russell’s being the worst culprits. Our neighbours used to have one. I’d never harm a dog but I swear that I felt like strangling it at times.Originally posted by Geddy2112 View Post

We don't have many JR terriers in my town. The ones that REALLY annoy me are chihuahuas. Small dogs as a general rule are nervous and yippy, and chihuas in particular are particularly paranoid, especially if they are spoiled as many people use them as child substitutes.Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post

I have some knick-knacks on MY bags. Dinosaurs for my computer-related stuff, anime for backpacks, lunch bags, etc. For me, it's a personalization thing; it also serves as an instant identification from a distance if something thinks that they can snatch my bag and claim it's "their's".Originally posted by c.d.

I think that’s another part of it CF. These little dogs are often carried around like babies. I certainly don’t dislike small dogs, it’s just the yapping.Originally posted by C. F. Leon View Post

As we get closer to Halloween one of my favorite things to do is watch old, classic horror movies like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy etc. But they don't show them on TV, instead it is just all this modern crap like Halloween Part 25: Jason Retires to Florida and Buys an Annuity or Dracula with Jerry Lewis as Dracula. I mean why don't they show the old stuff? The copyrights certainly must have expired by now. The only thing I can think of is that they want people to buy or rent the original classics.
Really annoying.

I don't think I would go that far. I recently watched the Ken Burns' documentary on Prohibition (which I thought was excellent), The Maltese Falcon, some Poroit episodes, Antiques Roadshow and have recorded but not yet watched The Hound of the Baskervilles (with Basil Rathbone) and the original Night of the Living Dead.Originally posted by Tani View Post
I think you just have to be selective.

Anything by Ken Burns is good imo c.d. I think his series on The Civil War is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen. The Rathbone ‘Hound’ is a classic. The more recent one starring Richard Roxburgh was pretty good too though (I recently watched it again and found that it was much better than I remembered it to be) As you say, there’s a lot of crap but some good stuff if you look.Originally posted by c.d.

Hi Herlock,
I remember watching it years ago when it first came out. I was riding my bike on the C&O Canal here in Washington, D.C. and walking towards me was the narrator of the series David McCullough. I recognized him right away and wanted to tell him what a great job he had done with the narration. I stopped my bike next to him, went to stick out my hand, and completely forgot his name. He looked at me expectantly waiting for me to say something and I just rode off. Felt like a complete idiot.

Just saw a commercial for Christmas stuff on TV. Makes sense seeing as how we are just weeks away from Halloween. Good Grief.

Speaking of Halloween and Christmas, those benevolent network executives took two beloved Holiday Classics (It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas) off network TV and made them only available on subscription channels. I mean why make millions of people (especially kids) happy when you can make a few extra bucks? Greedy bastards. I hope there is a special place in hell for them.

Hi Herlock,
If you were a fan of the Civil War documentary, I highly recommend Co. Aytch by Sam Watkins. It was the Rebel diary they kept citing from in the series. A great look at what the war was like from the perspective of a Rebel private.
