Btw, some men are not just strange but very stupid to think such a thing. ...so we now have grizzlies in the mix. If one is ever in the town of West Yellowstone, Wyoming they have a grizzly bear enclosure where one can see the bears up closer than as normally viewable in many zoos. The massive and incredible build of muscles in their shoulders and front legs is hard to believe until you see it ! Me and and an old buddy got charged by a brown colored bear in a brushy wilderness area near a creek many years ago. It was scary as hell but he broke off his charge, I guess we were lucky since apparently he was not very hungry that morning but could have had us for a snack. Understandably We didn't hang around to verify if it was a grizz or big black black in the brown variation. There is a saying that your hiking buddy in bear country should be a slower runner than you, that way you might have a chance to survive per the regretful sacrifice of your buddy. Btw. running form a bear is supposedly the last thing you want to do (easier said than done) since they would then see you as prey and can easily outrun a human!

there was a time that such a thought might have crossed my mind when 4-5 ferociously crazily yapping Pekingese dogs tried to get at me through a screen door with their owner standing right there...

sounds deep, but the Self in all beings never sleeps...

Humanistic sensibilities' and conscience do not apply to those hell bent on evil, granted evilly inclined beings or those that have aligned themselves to such also have a spark or atom of Sprit buried deep inside themselves and if they didn't would instantly turn to dust or less than dust, but only Sages, realized masters, Dharma guardians, divinely realized gods and deva's can see that spark and somehow and actually mitigate or stop the furtherance of evil, for regular Joes or Janes with noting more than conceptional armor who think they are equal to the task in using knowledge, will and experience to directly deal with such forces are dangerously naive regarding what could happen to themselves and others. Btw, we can run and hide from so called "current events' which are also human and spiritual events but only until such also catches up to us, so it is for mice and men.

it is near futility too bring up a point of humane conscience with those who have very little or none...such has been going on for ages all over the world...and is front and center in so much of our world today. Once reasonable people have had the wool and worse pulled over their eyes and are sometimes assisting those doing the pulling; whether in religions or in other aspects of our lives. The first step to reveal that is to openly recognize it, for silence on such matters emboldens evil.

I've had scares or close calls of being bitten by a great Dane, German Shepard and pit Bull but one of these little guys is the only dog that ever came at me and bit my leg without hesitation which was a surprise. Btw, I didn't know for a long time that they were or still are used to go into badger holes to force them out; so considering that they can be one very fearless go getter to take on such a formidable creature as a badger. Another short story: one of the funniest things I ever saw was my moms Chihuahua charge a great Dane until it realized its huge mistake and turned tale and ran back to her.

ok, and lets add some Fords, Dodges, oatmeal cookies and pizza to the list... oops and some good beer.

great video Nungali, thanks. I bought my wife an old 1925 upright piano that i partially restored. She has gotten over 35 years use out of it and chooses it over the modern electric keyboard she also has.

never thought this hot dog post would have legs...

lol...except for sodium nitrate and such

the wind blows...but don't be like a leaf in it.

how about those nuts that stuff an incredible number of hot dogs into themselves in a timed competition, sounds like an easy way to choke and die! (I'd rather stuff apple pie and ice cream but one could still choke and die in doing that or have a dangerous sugar overload) The T.T.C. says something about knowing when enough is enough. btw, someone did nice fiberglass work on the Wienermobile, and an example of ,"different strokes for different folks". lol

I'd say a headache would be the result of a 'thing', (or watching the daily crime reports on the 6 o'clock news) trying to put 'no-thing' into a box, for such just won't compute, although good concepts and or witness could point to or help ease forms of angst on the matter.

one better make their dogs at home!

wonder what frame and engine it has underneath the dog, AI might know...(this is a nutty thread) Yep it did: The modern Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is powered by a 6.0-liter General Motors (GM) Vortec V8 engine. This engine is generally found on a Chevy or Isuzu NPR truck chassis, providing approximately 300 horsepower to move the 14,000-pound fiberglass hot dog.
