September Dogsplash

September 6 2 pm - 8 pm

There will be a Dogsplash event at the Burlington Aquatic Center. The Burlington Recreation and Parks Dept will hold another swim for dogs and their persons. Here is your chance to swim with your dog under the stars. The pool will be covered the day after Dogsplash for the fall and winter season. The Aquatic Center is located at the end of Overbrook Rd.

The Burlington Aquatics Center is open year round. The pool is indoors in the winter, & the roof comes off & it is outdoors in the summer. They have the dog swim just before cleaning & closing the pool & changing the roof. The phone to the aquatic center is: 336-222-5043. Call them if you have more questions, or feel free to contact the Humane society of Alamance County.

Retrocrush has a huge, 30-page interview with Alison Arngrim, the actress who played Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prairie, lo these many years ago.

Castles of the United States

Lookie here for ostentatious housing. Yes, the Biltmore House is on the list. Coveting this sort of stuff is what makes people into Communists.

I'm not white trash...yet

I am 15% White Trash.

I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.

Take the
White Trash Test
@ FualiDotCom

Boy, this couldn't be more wrong! I am a Republican, and my place isn't neat. The only reason I won't be drinking wine from a box is that I don't drink alcohol. Still, it's a cute test.

A second language 'changes personality'

I saw this headline and thought of popstar Madonna's transformation into a Brit. The article begins, "Psychologists have discovered that people take on the characteristics of foreign nationals when they switch into their language." British English is a foreign language, idn't it?

Chunder Synomyms

I am deeply amused by this list of euphemisms for regurgitation.

I've successfully fired the Double Maul. Wear eye protection when testing these weapons!

Stuff On My Cat

We know, we know. It's absolutely awful, cruel, perverse, decadent, embarrassing, humiliating, dangerous, depraved, juvenile, foolhardy, irresponsible, and indulgent. Maybe even borderline illegal. But she doesn't look so unhappy! Neither does this guy! And what about these two? They look like they're having some fun. So get over it. After all, cats have been having their way with us for years. It's the least some two-legged types can do to even the score
