BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'm in Minnesota for my annual Thanksgiving visit, but it's really only a couple of degrees cooler than it was when I left Florida, so I can't really do my traditional "Jeez is it freakin' COLD up here!" post.

I can, however, complain about the National Dog Show Presented By Purina. It's bad enough that one of those freakishly groomed poodles won Best of Show. A poodle always seems to win these things, even though any non-insane human being can tell you that contemporary poodle hair styles are flat-out grotesque. What's with those twin spheres of fur on its back? Why would you design a dog that you can't even pet? I don't want to see any more poodle champions; I mean it.

More appalling is that they didn't even show the pug being judged. If you're going to cut out a dog to fit the allotted time slot, cut the mop dog. That thing is unnatural and disturbing. Don't cut the pug. I also like Boston Terriers and wiener dogs, but for the most part I'm all about the pugs. I expect a pug to get double the screen time next year to make up for this travesty.

I hope that all of you in Thanksgiving-celebrating nations had a great Thanksgiving!
