Ouchie Revisited

Remind me the next time I go to have stitches removed to take 2 pain pills an hour beforehand and have someone drive me.

That was not quite as painful as being bit and stitched originally, but it was no walk in the park either. To top it off, he may not have gotten all of them because there is a little scabbie thing under which he thinks there is one or two more and he wants to wait until it comes off on its own to see and so I might have to go back.

The good times just keep coming on this little adventure, let me tell ya.

I guess the good news is Doc said I have done an excellent job keeping it from becoming infected. That is a big concern when they actually have to stitch dog bites, I guess, stitching all those dog germs up inside and all. That's an ooky thought.

In more good news, I finally this morning confirmed with Animal Control that they have the dog in quarantine. It certainly took long enough, especially when they knew since Monday who owned the dog and where it was, yet it didn't manage to get quarantined until either Wednesday or Thursday.

I told Jen earlier, my name may not be Earl, but I am with him on the whole karma thing. My parents had a dog who was quarantined 3 times for biting people - never in the face, though. She was a "back biter," she'd get the back of your leg as you were walking away. Still painful, I am sure. At any rate, they were fortunate enough to never get sued over any of the bites.

I figure that karma probably wants me to return the favor. Which I plan to do.

But DAMN the owners of this dog make it HARD when they won't even cooperate in quarantining the fucking dog.

Note to Self

The next time you think more people than usual are looking at you strangely because of your stitched and swollen mouth - check your zipper. The zipper that happens to be on the side of those particular pants. The pants you are wearing with the short-ish shirt that was in no way covering the zipper at the time.

I know I Keep Harping on This, but...

Hey, Jerry... THIS is what you signed to the team. A guy who is an ass to little kids:

From the Dallas Quick today:

Kids get a bit of T.O.


NORTH RICHLAND HILLS – A kid on the bleachers' front row voiced the thoughts of everyone starting this two-day camp.

"Are we gonna see him to-day?"

Welcome to Terrell Owens' "Making of Champions" youth football camp, where T.O. didn't show up yesterday until 5 p.m.

Before long, Owens became mildly frustrated that QBs couldn't get the ball to receivers and started throwing himself.

"Have y'all ever seen a better QB?" he asked.

"Donovan McNabb," said one kid, giggling.

Forty-five minutes later, he was finished. Kids pressed for autographs.

Tomorrow, he told them.

But no one complained. Kids forgive easily.

Harumph. Kids may forgive easily. Me, not so much.

CONFIDENTIAL to the Person Who Found Their Way to my Blog by Googling "make me not crazy:"

Google has like, WAY mislead you, friend. You won't find that here.

But do please let me know if you find that anywhere on the internet...

I Will Never Say "BITE ME!" Again

That's for sure. Bad karma. I am sure that is why this dog bite thing happened, you know. I said "oh, BITE ME!" just one too many times and here came karma to bite me in the ass, or rather, in the face. If for no other reason, to let me know that saying "BITE ME!" is SOOOOOO out and I really should get a new saying.

So the bad news is, Animal Control still doesn't have the dog in quarantine. The worse news is, the owner of the dog brought the dog's shot records by yesterday, and his last vaccinations, including rabies, expired 11/20/05.

Oh YEAH. I told you, good times.

Dude tried to tell me his vet told him the shots were good for 5 years. Well first, there is a 1-year rabies vaccine, and a 3-year. There is NO 5-year. Second, it says right on the sheet of paper he gave me "Rabies Canine Yearly, given 11/20/04, expires 11/20/05." Could that BE any more spelled out?

The dog's name is Nemo. That's just a little too cute for a dog that bit someone in the face, don'tcha think?

Funny though, cuz right now, Finding Nemo is the name of the game.

Ouchie

Um. I don't recommend getting bitten in the face by a dog. It hurts. Just a lil bit. 22 stitches later, I think I will not forget that not all dogs are nice like most boxers and most especially my boxers...

It's not too pretty, either, trust me.

I tried to post a picture that I took with my camera phone but apparently that is just too high quality a picture for blogger.com so you will have to wait until I take one with my real camera.

Or, for a more gory shot, maybe you can request some copies from the FWPD - you know, the ones they took BEFORE I got the stitches. I am sure those are even nicer.

Good times.

Well, the pain pills are good times... as for the rest of it, I recommend skipping it.

ROTFLMAO

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

HELP, I can't breathe.

Taken from today's Dallas Quick paper:

Sports Illustrated NFL columnist Peter King has picked the Cowboys to play the Patriots in Super Bowl XLI. "What I like about this team is it addressed almost every one of its major needs entering the off-season," King says on SI.com.

Obviously, if you've been following along, you know just about how hilarious I think that is. I am far more inclined to agree with that newspaper columnist's prediction that I wrote about previously, an 8-8 record, that being worse than last year's.

Perhaps the team has indeed addressed almost all of its major needs, which in theory could give them a shot at going to the superbowl. What is being left out of this theory, however, is the issue of personalities. Which can make, or break, a team, as we have already seen.

If you saw someone take a sharp stick and poke themselves in the eye and go down, would you then pick up the same sharp stick and poke yourself in the eye, thinking you'd get different results? Of course not. (well, not if you don't ride the short bus) And likewise, the Cowboys should have left that sharp stick alone.

One way or another, this is going to be an interesting season. Thanks for making my day, Peter King.

Time for a Change

What, you ask, has finally enticed me to remove Eminem's Curtain Call from my car's CD player?

Why, the Dixie Chicks' new Taking the Long Way, of course.

Remember back when they said what they said about the President, how horrible everyone thought that was? Including me, at the time.

Well, I don't think it was so horrible anymore. And I don't think a lot of other people think it's so horrible anymore, either, based on the fact that last night, I happened to get the very last one the store had of the Chicks' new CD, which was just released a week ago.

It would seem that generally, the "horribleness" of what they said steadily declined right along with the President's approval rating. Imagine that.

Of course, I have yet to hear their first single, the appropriate Not Ready to Make Nice, on public radio. But then, I have Sirius now, so who needs the censorship of public radio anymore? I hear the song on Sirius all of the time.

(Incidentally, Russ Martin, if you would come to Sirius I would never have to listen to public radio again!)

Also, while public radio across America may not be playing the new Chicks song, and the single as yet hasn't done particularly well on the charts, the song is currently the #1 most downloaded song on the internet.

Oh, and did I mention that their new album just debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200?

This, after telling America on 60 Minutes just 2 days prior to their album's release that they are not sorry for what they said, and that they do not think the President deserves their respect.

You go, girls. I'm from Texas, too, by the way, and let me say that I'm a lot prouder that the Dixie Chicks are from Texas than I am that certain other people are...

Too bad a lot more folks weren't with us on that sooner, myself included.
