NEW YORK, June 27 — New York City dog owners who worry that their furry friends need some stress management have a new option: yoga for dogs. “Ruff Yoga” — a so-called doga class aimed at relaxing the canine denizens of this often un-Zen city — is being offered once a month in a downtown city park.

HALF AN HOUR on the yoga mat makes Isaac, her cocker spaniel, a calmer dog, said doga devotee Sarah Klein.

“Usually when he’s in the park, he can’t focus,” said Klein, who was among nine New Yorkers and their dogs who attended a class Thursday night.

The 427 was far too heavy for its power. The 409 only blew if you let the engine get way too sloppy.

But, if you were on a track, the small blocks always won, anyway.

He doesn't usually 'focus' in the park because a cocker spaniel is a friggin' hunting dog, you ditzbag, and he's expecting you to get him a squirrel!

1- So I'm standing in line at the burrito place - long line - out the door, and a guy who is well into his 50's walks by with seersucker shorts. Red and white, so they kind of took on a pinkish hue. Not a good look. I'll even say that it's not a good look on anyone outside of Savannah (maybe not even then). So, didn't seersucker go out of style in what...the 20's?!? Or is this guy cutting edge?



2- The guy in line in front of me is wearing thongs (the footwear, not the crackwear) and he's got a heinous case of athletes foot or trench foot or leprosy. And I'm starting to lose my craving for a burrito. I think restaurants should tighten the standards as to what qualifies as shirt and/or shoes in an eating establishment for the benefit of other diners.

That's all - back to my burrito.

1. I like blue seersucker at least, and in summer it makes great sense as well as looking spiffy. This Northeastern thing of, for example, wearing dark wool suits on blazing summer days is just stupid.

2. This "love your body" thing has gone too far. Part of living in a civil society should be covering up one's grosser aspects in public--like grizzly old guys wearing speedos at the beach, it's just not thoughtful.

Hi, filter-lighter here, please provide the correct lyric and if that's not a clear identifier, the name of the song when citing mistaken lyrics. Even knowing the diaphragm thing is CCR I just can't think of the song.

When I was a kid I thought "lay down sally" was "pass the salad." It doesn't even sound like that, but whatever, like I said, I was a kid. I do still giggle internally when somebody asks me to pass the salad.

Lester came from the City by the Bay

Bagged a Moldovan along the way
Though some suspect that she was a he

He says hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Lessin, take a walk on the greedy side

Bumpkin-at-law came from somewhere southern
Talkin’ ‘bout NASCAR, he was all his puppets’ darlin’
But he never lost his head
Even when he won the iron bed

He says hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Bumpkin, take a walk on the greedy side

And the sock puppets go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)

License Plate Boy never once gave it away
Every firm had to pay RMSC pay
A re: line here and a flame war there,
The janitor’s closet is the place where

They said hey, take a walk on the greedy side,
Said hey, Plated, take a walk on the greedy side

DC Chef came and hit the street
Looking for salary info, and creating GP heat
Founded the Fashion Board
Talk about thongs gets him out of his gourd

They said hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Chef, take a walk on the greedy side
Alright

Fugee is just fading away
Blood sugar just got too low one day
So I guess she had to crash
Left New York and headed out to the Patch

She said hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey Fugee, take a walk on the greedy side

Oliver_Wendell_Ramone 06-27-2003 05:38 PM

And for my next number...
 
Continuing my blasts from the past, in tribute to my man Lou, I give you "Heroin," GA-style.

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m gonna try for the big salary, if I can
‘Cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put that check into my bank
And I’ll tell ya, things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushing on a deal
And at my desk, another meal
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
I have made the big decision
I’m gonna try to nullify my life
‘Cause when the assignments begin to flow
When the collar is tight around my neck
When I’m closing in on death
And you can’t help me now, you GAs
And all you sock puppets with all your sock talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
I wish I’d been born a hundred years ago
I wish I’d practiced law with civility
Going from this courthouse to that
In a lawyer’s suit and hat
Away from Bigflaw
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and the GAs around
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Bigflaw, be the death of me
Bigflaw, its my wife and its my life
Because a paycheck to my account
Leads to money in my wallet
And then I’m better off and dead
Because when the cash begins to flow
I really don’t care anymore
About all the GPs in this town
And all the clients makin’ crazy sounds
And everybody puttin’ everybody else down
And all the SKEKs piled up in mounds
Because when the money begins to flow
Ah, when the cash is in my wallet
And that wallet is in my hand
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

Pop-up stopper recommendation
 
GAs whose IT slavemasters allow them to install apps on their workstations might be interested in the new beta of the Google toolbar. In addition to putting a Google search field on your Internet Explorer 5.5 and later toolbar, the latest version (again, still in beta, so use at your own risk) has an integrated pop-up stopper.

The link to the beta download page seems to be down temporarily, but check back here periodically.

And REM continued the tradition in the '80's.

Since we're quoting song lyrics, here's another one of my favorites from Weird Al (frankly, I never "got" Nirvana -- I thought they sucked):
_______________________

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Dnn't know, don't know, don't know
CHORUS
Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy this oughtta bug your parents
Yeah
It's un-in-tel-ligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
CHORUS
Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah
And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know don't know...
CHORUS
Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well, I'll see ya!
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, adinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaah!
________________________

BTW, Ollie, nice blast from the past. It's good to "see" y'all.

Another favorite mistake is a friend who sang - "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Jeep" rather than "Done Dirt Cheap." An Ex thought "You can't hide you're lyin' eyes" referred to "Lion eyes" when he was a kid. I once also heard "Oh big ol' jet airliner" from Steve Miller replaced with "Oh, Big Ole Jed had a light on." The last one I love - it's nowhere near the same on paper, but when you sing it - not too far off.

An agreement that by its terms is not to be performed during the lifetime of the promisor is within the statute of frauds.

I thought ThrashersFan was a member of the "not in my lifetime" school of thought re: buttlove. Hence, TM will need to wait for the condition subsequent to collect.
