Is this supposed to be a poll?

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:27 (eighteen years ago)

No, just a time-wasting list thread. Feel free to flame.

But I saw the future and thought she'd do that last night, so I closed my office and got my wife to close her study, so the dog wouldn't have access to any carpeted areas to piss on.

I don't have a sense of smell, but my half-bassett sure does, so I was thinking 'oh he could be my smelling-nose dog', so to speak.' Then i realize this would only be useful if I needed to find out where other dogs had peed or if I needed to find bits of sandwiches and chips under the grass in parks.

― Abbott, Thursday, 26 April 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

oh he could be my smelling-nose dog'

my fave term for this is "smell-hound"*, first used on the Simpsons ep where Sideshow Bob meets his brother.

*alternate suggestion: "snout-hound"

― kingfish, Thursday, 26 April 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)
