Stepping out...

P1180853

... with Howie and Ollie (at The Puparazzo). And more with just Ollie (the Labradoodle) here. Ollie's a Labradoodle, but what is Howie? He reminds me of the cats in Betty Boop cartoons.

Is that your tattoo, Professor?

But are they really kitties?

Did you know your blog now only publishes titles to RSS? Before today I could read your entire posts on RSS, but today I only see the title and have to go to your actual site to see the post. Maybe you intended this, but maybe Blogger just automatically changed its settings? It's a little frustrating because your titles often don't give a lot of information as to what the post is about (like "Stepping out...").

Labradoodle.
I like that word. It sound good and feels good saying it.
I intend to use it randomly in the future.
"Should work fine now, I adjusted the labradoodle"

" While I was under there, I fixed a leak in the labradoodle, no extra charge."

"Had a labradoodle in the glove box, thought I was goin' to jail for sure"

Labradoodle out of balance, eat less carbs.

Massaged her labradoodle, she had a five minute orgasm

I don't know if I would prefer a Drudge siren or a bat-signal of a giant pair of shorts in the sky to alert Althouse when something like this happens.

Sniff.

What is it....some sort of a skull tattoo?

Wow! Very edgy. Must generate lots of classroom discussion.

I changed a setting. Was that bad?

That's not my leg, but let me know if you think I should get a tattoo on my leg, and of what.

This?

How about a Cruel Neutrality tattoo?

If only. Skulls. Why skulls? There are probably more skull tattoos than anything else. Evidently death and decay are cool. You see a lot of butterflies, but isn't that just the distaff side of the same junior high school aesthetic?

It's like paint jobs on choppers. Just once I'd like to see a custom motorcycle with a non-adolescent decorative theme.

A few days ago I stopped at a roadside 24-hour restaurant for an early breakfast. Not long after I settled in a group of bikers rode in on their hogs. I doubt they were actual outlaws; they were too old. Old? Correction: elderly. Except for the attire, festooned with flames, skulls, Maltese crosses, two of the gentlemen resembled no one else than Santa Claus.

These chaps are going straight from the iconic transport of the rebellious youth, the motorcycle, to the iconic vehicle of dependency, the power chair – from adolescence to senility without a maturation in between. Oedipus could not have being thinking of bikers when he answered the riddle of the sphinx.

Howie looks like a Boston terrier mixed with something leggy.

[Let] me know if you think I should get a tattoo on my leg, and of what.

The leg alone just won't do. It needs to be a whole body objet d'art with a monumental theme. I'm think of the English Civil War. We'll start with the feet which will deal with the dissolution of Parliament. The knees and thighs will display a diorama of Edgehill...

I know, you're think Quaestor is being crazy again. Patience, please, I'm working up to something...

On the broad canvas of the back we summarize the struggle from the Battle of Naseby to Pride's Purge.

On the torso we depict the trial and execution of the king based on Burnet's famous engraving. We put the trial right over the central chakra because of the great legal questions raised by that proceeding which led eventually to the norms of our modern Western world. It's just so fitting for a renowned professor of the law.

I can now see the entire post in my RSS reader. I don't know if you changed something back or if blogger hiccuped for a while, but it seems to be back to normal now!

Ann Althouse said...

I changed it again.

Efforts to improve on what is already good runs risks of going the other way.  Skip all tattoo suggestions.

You need to write this suggestion in the form of a parody of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady."

But I think an American history theme would be more appropriate!

Howie looks like something that came back from Pet Sematary. But in a cute way.
