Duke isn't territorial normally. What the heck? Dogs that are well socialized aren't raging terrors at people. People could go in and out of the back yard without him giving a shit all day. I just don't want something to happen. I highly doubt, unless someone was fucking with his puppies(Which the guy was doing) or actively hitting him that he'd EVER bite anyone. He LOVES to play with people, it's just that the whole, "IF HE HURTS SOMEONE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR INSURANCE IF YOU DON'T PUT HIM DOWN." thing that makes me want to keep people away from him. Also kids are horrible. Probably once a month some of the neighbor kids get it into their head that throwing tree branches or rocks at him over the fence is a good idea and if they were like, actively in my yard winging rocks at his face I don't think he'd just let it happen.

But that goes into my other pet peeve, I don't like when dogs are not well trained. Well taken care of and socialized dogs are NOT territorial jackasses usually. I mean a lot of them don't like people in their house if no one is there but most well trained dogs who've been socialized since birth have no trouble with visitors or playing with other people. 

AND THIS ISN'T IN PET PEEVES THREAD! SOMEONE CAN MOVE IT OR DELETE IT, I'M A DUMBASS!

Man, Mal, what kind of sitcom do you live in where your neighbours just randomly climb over your fence all the time, like some bizarre gaggle of suburban Kramers?

I don't really think it's a sit-com... More me scaring kids. Last year late some kids were throwing GARBAGE, like McDonald's cups and empty soda bottles at my dogs, I was home but no one else was so all the cars were gone. I guess the kids thought no one was home(Note: Kids here means 17-19 year olds not actual children) and I see what they are doing from my kitchen window, go get my brand new(at the time) Dirty harry revolver, walk over to the window they are right under and knock on it with the gun. They look up, see me and freak out. I watch them run away, see what house they go into and then take a shower, get dressed, walk over and tell their parents about them throwing garbage into my lawn, their mom made them clean that shit up.

This isn't 1971, it's time to upgrade that tiny, socialist gun to a MANgnum.

(If your local shooting range has one for rental it's really fun to try out for 10 rounds or so depending on how much you like your shoulder being intact)

Yeah, I know. I just love the .500 because it's basically Smith & Wesson saying, "Hey, remember when we made the model 29 and it was awesome? Let's make an even bigger revolver firing an even bigger caliber and really man up!" Just looking at how much fatter the casing is from the .44 magnum makes me laugh a little inside.

I feel like the S&W 500 is a novelty gun. The kind of gun that they designed specifically so dudes like Ted Nugent can invite a celebrity friend over and be like "Hey man, you wanna shoot a gun?"

Well "used for handgun hunting" usually IS code for "novelty gun".

Handgun hunting is the excuse that gun manufacturers use to sell novelty guns like the S&W500. It's a sport engaged in mostly by extremely, extremely silly enthusiasts. Kind of like black powder rifles, but with more giant scopes and rifle straps attached to revolvers.

If I had to bet money, I would bet 90% of the S&W 500s out there are owned by rednecks and counterstrike players and have never been fired more than a few times at the gun range right after it was purchased.

Even the bear seems kind of depressed about how silly the nature of his death was. ( ._.)

They at least had the decency to kill cousin smoky with a 12 gauge. This is bullshit.  ::(:

Went to see Cabin in the Woods last night with a couple friends. It was great! I got home late, though, and I was so tired, I forgot to set my alarm. That's okay, though, because a couple of helpful dudes decided to start chopping down trees with a chainsaw right behind my house at 6 am! Then, in the shower, I got soap in both of my eyes while washing my face.

After that, it was time for breakfast, when I somehow managed to cut my thumb with a butter knife.

I left the house, and stopped at the gas station to fill up my tank, but both the card reader at the pump and the one at the register inside rejected my card. Luckily, the atm took my card, and charged me an extra $3.50 fee.

After I got back on the road, I noticed my hair looked kind of weird. I touched my head, and realized while I was in pain from getting soap in my eyes, I forgot to wash the conditioner out of my hair. I managed to salvage that somewhat by just waiting till it dried, and mussing it up, but STILL.

Then, I realized I had forgotten to bring coffee with me. Every morning, I grind coffee to take to work with me, because the coffee at work is terrible, as all work coffee should be. So I figured I could stop at a Starbucks and just grab a half pound of ground coffee. Little did I know, however, that I had chosen the Starbucks where the dumbest barista in the world worked.

I approached the counter, and after regarding me for a few moments, he asked if he could help me. I asked if they sold ground coffee, and he gave me a deer in the headlights look for a good 15 seconds before answering that yeah, he thought so. He then bolted to the backroom for a second(?), then came back out around the counter, led me to the display of whole bean coffee, and helpfully informed me that they had light, medium, and dark roast coffees. I said I'd take a half pound of Caffe Verona, a dark roast. He started going for the medium, and I corrected him. He reached for the French roast, and I corrected him again. He then reached for the Italian roast, which was on the other side of the Caffe Verona, but with my coaching, he finally managed to grab the right one. :slow:

It was at this point that the manager finally appeared, and after ascertaining the situation, informed me that they didn't sell ground coffee by the half pound, only the pound. At that point, I just decided it wasn't worth the trouble, thanked them, and left, sans coffee.

Finally getting to work, I started on my main task for the day: finishing up a document I'd spent the last week and a half putting together and chasing down signatures for. I sent it over to QA, only to be told that they wanted a minor change made to it. Even though this change literally consists of checking a box YES instead of NO, I now have to go back and get every single one of those signatures all over again. :victory:

Oh, and I believe I've mentioned my car before, yes? Just in case I haven't: when I came out here from Illinois, I couldn't bring my car, as it needed about $1800+ of repairs in order to make the trip. My ex was originally going to buy the car from me once it was fixed, but when that fell through, she agreed to pick the car up from the shop and keep it at her place until I could go back and get it. She went to pick it up on Saturday, but it had been sitting so long, the battery was dead! That's another $140 worth of work! So they put the battery in, and she was supposed to pick it up on Sunday. Sunday came and went, and I didn't hear anything from her. Then Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, until today, when she finally texted me to say that her mom, whom she lives with(she's 34, btw), had told her she shouldn't help me with my car. So I got to call my parents and ask them to make the hour and a half trip from their house to pick up my car and take it back to their place. Luckily, my parents are cool, and they said no problem. In hindsight, I probably should have just asked them from the beginning. :shrug:

TL;DR: Ted and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

There were a couple of bright spots, though: I found a good, local coffee place that's about a mile from my job, and I'm pretty sure one of the administrative assistants was flirting with me.  :bunp:
