CorgiWatch: Day Two

On Important Things in London, Where There Also Appears to Be Some Sort of Track-and-Field Event:

Curtis: What are you doing?

Sally: [looking at laptop] Looking at the corgis. Thinking about what they might be doing right now.

Curtis: How long have you been up?

Sally: About an hour.

Curtis: I'll bet you thought about them all night.

Sally: I did.

Curtis: I thought you were going to take it easy today.

Sally: I am. Why?

Curtis: Well, I'm just afraid you're going to get yourself all worked up over the corgis.

Sally: I can lie down if I get tired.

Hello, Pot? This is the Kettle.

On Bad Taste in Internet Matters . . .

Curtis: What are you looking up?:

Sally: I'm trying to find a site about taxidermy classes in DC, for Jill. I found this. *

Curtis: I really need to keep you away from the Internet.

Sally: But first, look at the site we talked about before, that you really wanted to see. The chat forum from my hometown. Maybe start with "Anyone no when the next ged tests are?".


* No, it's not in DC, but that's what came up.

Vanity, Thy Name Is Sally

On the subject of Spa Time . . .

Sally: When JB & TH come up, I think that TH and I are going to go do spa things.

Curtis: Okay.

Sally: I think you and JB should do spa things too. Like, he could get a pedicure, and you could get a haircut, at that fancy-man place in Old Town Alexandria.

Curtis: Do you think that JB and I are girls?

Sally: No.

Curtis: Okay, girls with penises, then.

Sally: No.

Curtis: I understand that you think that JB and I are going to go get pedicures and hairstyles and then skip around with shopping bags and titter, but that is not what is going to happen at all. We're going to go to a bar, and we're going to drink, and we might talk about stuff, but none of it will have anything to do with exfoliation.

Sally: Okay, fine. Can you help me with something?

Curtis: Most likely not.

Sally: I was looking over this menu of spa services, and I was wondering what you think TH would like best.

Curtis: I don't care.

Sally: Look at this list of four things, and tell me what you think we should do.

Curtis: This is all horseshit. I have no idea what any of this is. 

Sally: I think I might get the cellulite rub.

Curtis: Does that mean they rub your cellulite, or that they rub you WITH cellulite?

Sally: Forget it.

Curtis: Done.

Where can I NOT get one of these?

We love watching shows about animals, including Dogs 101. This particular episode we're watching now is about "Designer Dogs": Labradoodles, Cockapoos, etc.

In the beginning of the show, they were showing examples of these dogs: Pug + Beagle = Puggle, Chihuahua + Yorkie = Chorkie (which is one of the worst names ever). One combination caused us alarm, leading to the following conversation, "On a Worse Dog Than the Xoloitzcuintli, Which Is Now the Second-Worst Dog in the Entire World":

Dogs 101 Narrator: And there's the Border Jack, a cross between a Border Collie and a Jack Russell!

Sally: That is the worst idea ever.

Curtis: Seriously. I can't imagine who thought this would be a good idea.

Dogs 101 Narrator: It combines the intelligence and energy of a Border Collie with the intelligence and energy of a Jack Russell!

Sally: Wow. That is seriously a bad combination.

Curtis: That dog would move you out of your house and take over your bank account.

Sally: While jumping up and down and annoying the shit out of you the whole time.
