You should never have a problem getting back on D in half court.

esther kim · 08-26-2009, 02:58 PM

RIP Jack :(

Coolest pup ever...only 2.5 months old. He collapsed and died this morning from what appeared to be ruptured intestines. But before they could finish all his tests and after they hooked him up to fluids and took x-rays....he passed away. So sad.

Medz · 08-26-2009, 03:25 PM

Very sorry to hear that, Esther. That picture is heart breaking.

Stefan S · 08-26-2009, 03:45 PM

So sorry, Esther! he really looks awesome.

I hope that he is roaming on happier trails, and that you will not grieve too long.

ThaMaestro · 08-26-2009, 03:47 PM

Damn, Esther! I'm sorry to hear that. Good looking pup.

esther kim · 08-28-2009, 12:52 PM

Thanks for the kind words, Medz, Stefan + Maes. :) I know he's just a dog but man, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I heard a Kelly Clarkson song on the radio and I just started bawling. I mean, what is wrong with me. LOL

My mom (who is no animal lover) couldn't sleep for two days thinking about him. He was so much a part of the family and so human-like...hard to not be sadden he's gone.

esther kim · 08-28-2009, 12:53 PM

Just like any good asian family member, he was dreaming of being a doctor one day. ;)

esther kim · 08-28-2009, 12:54 PM

This is how he preferred to sleep! He even made his bed...I swear to God, my brother found him like this one day.

Dave Bing · 08-29-2009, 03:04 PM

Hard loss, I'm sorry for you Esther. Time and yes another dog do a lot for healing. My mom had grown old with an irreplaceable companion. She wouldn't consider getting another dog for several years. When she finally did break down and bought a new pup she regretted instantly that she didn't do it right away. Heffner didn't replace Winslow. But he brings her joy in his own way.

tin mad dog · 08-29-2009, 05:57 PM

Sorry about your loss Es.

hack · 08-29-2009, 10:20 PM

2.5 months, how awful. He looked like a real cutie.

Agree with Bing, tho now wondering a bit about his mother due to choice in dog name.

tin mad dog · 08-30-2009, 11:46 AM

Maybe his dog likes to wear a satin robe?

Dave Bing · 08-30-2009, 12:24 PM

Heffner was a rescue adoption from a puppy mill where he was used as a stud. He's a little toy poodle with an underbite. Pugnacious looking and quite the swordsman apparently.

hack · 08-30-2009, 08:57 PM

LOL. Bro and sis-in-law have a toy. Cutest little thing, and one never imagined liking a fripping toy poodle. Then they got a scottie and the toy turned snotty.

Stefan S · 08-31-2009, 05:11 PM

I'm happy I have two dogs. First off, it's not just twice as much fun, it's fun [squared]. (I wonder, if I had 3, maybe it would be fun [cubed].). Also, as hard as it will be when one of my pupps moves on, maybe it will be a bit less hard.

By the way, my ladies like to make their bed, too. On one ocasion, when I was in the living room, I heard some weird rumors coming from the bedroom. So, I went there to check out what is up. It turned out that Sappho was pulling her heavy mat all the way from under the windowm, to on the bed, to on the pillow, and so on. Simply hillarious.

I took this pic at our Labor Day cookout. That's Maes on the end, his little brother in the Stockton jersey, and my guitarist Blaine next to him.

It looks like Maestro should be able to put on a knee-breaking move on his lil bro in the Stockton jersey...

hey thanks for the kinds words Dave, hacker, money and JD. Btw, I love that story of Heffner.

And it's always nice to be gone and greeted by pics of stefan's pups. So adorrrrrrabla..

Money, your photo compositions are getting more refined +sophisticated. That's a cool shot of Maes et al.

Those dogs do look like they need some fresh air...

It would also be nice if Stefan showed some appreciation for his furry friends, perhaps with a limerick?

Stefan S · 10-12-2009, 07:40 PM

It's a ghost crab! Ocypode quadrata. It was staring at me, so...

...I tried to stare him (?) down. Then...

...I just told him I am calling the dogs. (Darn! I knew that the Ladies will somehow emerge in any of my photo stories...)

I can try but, to be frank, the only limerics I have ever writen were "R"-rated. Like this one

SCENES FROM THE LIVE OF A TROJAN WARRIOR

I’m your friend and the friend of your mom
a buddy to take to a high-school prom
being strong, ribbed, and thin

And a few more...

Money23 · 10-14-2009, 12:56 AM

Awesome photos of the crab!

Whisper · 10-14-2009, 01:49 AM

I've never seen a crab with a square body before. In fact, I was sure that it was a remote controlled beachcomber.....until he folded into himself.

Holy schnikes I just almost puked -- crustaceans nauseate me, as I am allergic to them. Just looking at them, with those fucking eyes on stalks and their claws and whatnot -- I can't handle it. Can someone repost mabbott's limerick, so i don't have to scroll up there again please?

Sorry if I groosed you out, Amigo.
BTW, it's Mabbot's request but not his limeric. The limeric is mine:

Ah, yes. It's lovely, but I'm having trouble seeing it within the context of your previous works.

Stefan S · 10-15-2009, 06:43 AM

No context beyond Mr. Mabbott's suggesting I will write a limeric, maybe, and my response that all my limerics are a bit riske. As you can imagine, it's the first in a series of 12 (i.e., as many as there is condoms in a box).

...and here si a few more, so you can see how/where it goes

Trojan warriors have noble ambitions
to fulfill our goal and the mission
in the age of the pill
we’ve resolved to have will
not to break and go out of commission.

Brother Al vowed to serve and protect
but what happened is kind of suspect
in fulfilling his goal
Al went up a wrong hole
and some serious shit he had detected.

"What comes from shit, to shit it returns,"
Ben expressed deeply seeded concerns
he may take it all slow
but we doubt that he knows
where it is where shit really turns.

...an so on, and so forth.

hack · 10-15-2009, 01:21 PM

Ah -- so this is a wholesale move. Quite the departure from the sparse serenity of before. It would be like Money and Bing suddenly swapping roles in the Highbrow/Lowbrow Debates.

Money23 · 10-15-2009, 10:01 PM

We've done it, albeit briefly. I was surprised to see DB Forshing Dan Brown, though he still did it guardedly and deprecatingly.

Stefan S · 10-16-2009, 11:36 AM

Two more:

Quote:

Carl believes in the ethics of Natural Law
from which the conclusion he tries to draw
that we break the eternal holy code
while put on a dick that's about to explode
we worry he’ll break when push comes to shove.

Holy rants from Carl’s mind are long gone
seen last time when the lights were still on
he was blown like balloon
for a while looked like moon
then he burst and was thrown out at dawn.

I'm overdue for a quick turnaround. Uh... anyone prefer Proust's In the Shade of Flowering Girls over Swann's Way?

tin mad dog · 10-18-2009, 04:04 PM

I am doing some location scouting in an effort to bring a movie to Michigan that my friend is producing. If they decide to come here, I will probably come and work on it.

Here's a nice shot of Manchester, MI.

LOL, nice.

Still don't really get your Roy vendetta, though. Sometimes seemed like he was the only guy out there trying.

I guess that's pretty far OT for this thread.
