I called it first!

Just to let you know, I have decided that the name of my first dog is going to be........

Butterstick.
No. Clearly not that kind. This kind.

For those of you who have no idea why I have a picture of a baby panda that I have referred to as Butterstick, you should look here. (I'd also like to add that you totally missed out.) For those of you who recognize this lovely name, it may seem somewhat random, somewhat lame...and not really that great.

...And you would be right. Because as a name, Butterstick really just doesn't cut it. I admit it. It tries too hard to be kooky. It is not funny. It is not cute. It is too self-aware and considers itself witty...yadda yadda yadda.

Except, although the name of the puppy would officially be Butterstick, I would not call him Butterstick. All problems of the lame name would be obviated when I decide to call a pup, much like the one below...


Butters.


Say it with me. Butters.

Need I explain the brilliance and perfection I have achieved?

I dare you to tell me that the doubly awesome benefits of naming a dog Butterstick, and then getting to call him Butters is not the best thing ever. I fucking DARE YOU.

And yes. I like beagles. Except that I'm allergic.

1. Dude, I claimed admiration for Butters before you did. I was Prof. Chaos after all.

2. I type loud, and no one can stop me. Wōnang fèi

3. Obama? Really? So what does Obama stand for politically? Except as an alternative to Hillary Clinton... come one tell me without looking it up...

4. McCain 'O8

1) Incorrect sir! The first statement has nothing to do with the second. If you would like to quarrel about this we can duel.

2) No one can stop you. Doesn't mean you're not a dick.

3) Plenty. Although I am quite confused as to where you got this idea of Obama as an alternative to Hillary.

4) Is that an actual "O"?

Also, "Plenty" isn't intended to be snide and unhelpful. I just figured we'd talk about it when I came to STL instead of constant racial bickering.

1. I am a master of the derringer. You do not want to duel with me. I was watching south park while your mom was still cutting your hair by putting a bowl on top of it, so I win the South Park contest.

2. You did not respond to the Chinese phrase I spent half of class looking up. An egregious waste of time, which explains in part why I didn't transfer to Harvard (the other part being that I am not a pretentious bastard).

3. I like racial bickering, and bickering in general.

4. That is an "O". I hit the wrong key, "O" being right near "0". And I hit the wrong key loud, annoying the people or persons in my general vicinity.

hehehhe... I thoroughly enjoyed reading the comments....and best post by far!!!!!!!! jk...well, kinda...I mean involve a puppy and you have my attention like 100x faster on any given subject....and need I remind you of WHERE your name came from?

uh hem....you see, I want a puppy, but what I really want is a panda, so I thought I could at least symbolically have both by naming my puppy "panda" and by imagining its a panda 1/2 the time when we snuggle....so yes, Ill take credit, thanks, but Ill let you have the rights to use the name first :)

"I want a puppy, but what I really want is a panda."

Nice. haha.

1) I'm not clear how my haircut relates to South Park, but I accept. I am reading Hamilton's biography and taking careful notes of what not to do.

2) Looking up Chinese phrases is not likely to be helpful. It's a phonetic language, so unless you're saying something with context, or is easily recognizable, then you're just wasting your time.

3) Fine. Jew.

4) Can you at least explain the loud typing? Do you believe you're typing faster?

Absolutely brilliant. There's really nothing else to add.

I assume that the anonymous post is Anjali?

I take almost all of my pictures off the internet. Most likely that picture came from searching for "Beagle Pup." So I have no idea.
