The Office--The British Version

Angel Zoom Smokey and myself have been fans of The Office since it first came on the air. We will generally settle down to watch the show. This is why I was intrigued when I had the chance to see the original version of The Office which was on British television. I liked it, but it did leave me with some major questions. The main question is, why does the U. S. version of The Office need a billion or so writers when some of the lines were actually taken from the British show? I have to conclude that the writers on The Office (USA version) aren't very good at their jobs, and most of them must be on Facebook or Twitter rather than writing. In fact, I think that explains why the seasons haven't been as good as time goes on.....the writers are having to do their own writing which obviously is inferior to the British writers. Of course, this is merely my opinion, but as such, is correct and not for anyone to question. After all, I'm a dog so I'm right.

Speaking of humans who aren't doing their jobs properly, it was way too hot here a couple of days ago. This prompted me to have a long talk with Mother Nature. I pointed out that she is getting old and possibly going senile, and she can be replaced. It is much cooler today so I am happy to report that Mother Nature got with the program and cooled things down here. This is one Siberian Husky who does not like heat and will give out some puppy slaps of justice if the weather gets too hot. Even the humans were complaining about the heat. Of course, you have to ignore many of their complaints because they tend to complain about everything! I am glad Mother Nature saw the error of her ways and fixed things. I was afraid that the birds might have been persuading her to make it too hot. Those evil birds are bent on world domination., If only the humans could see how evil they are, but the humans hear them sing and think all is well.

Demon Flash Bandit--Game Developer Dog

My pals at Arctic Paws have sent 5 truckloads of Yummy Chummies 2.5 pound value bags to Costcos in 4 states: those states are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. For my readers who live in those states and shop at Costco, be sure and pick up a bag. Yummy Chummies are wonderful dog treats, and they aren't readily available in all places.

Virtual games are quite popular with many of the humans. I know I have watched Mommy waste time playing Farmtown--time that could have been better spent rubbing my tummy. Don't get me wrong--I can see the appeal of virtual farming versus real farming since real farming doesn't look like much fun. In fact, it looks like work to me. Therefore, I can understand why the humans would prefer the virtual world to the real world at times. The real world would have less competition from the virtual world if it made life easier. Facebook has a lot of popular games and a lot of humans like Facebook. Another rival company, Google has been trying to make friends with one of the game developers. Meanwhile Disney has purchased a game company, and they spent a lot of money on it--money which could have been better spent on dingo bones if you ask my opinion. I wonder why the big companies are not trying to get my business. I have developed some very cool games for the Internet. There is my "Treat the Dog" game, which involves adopting a dog and giving the dog treats and tummy rubs. There is "Virtual Fetch". The virtual human throws the ball, and the dog gets it for him or her. There is "Let's Dig To China", which is a game in which the dog digs a very, very deep hole. My personal favorite of my games is the "Let's Decorate with Paw Prints" game which involves having the room decorated with muddy paws. The best thing about these games is that there is no point system or "virtual cash". The person playing just gets to watch the dog do fun stuff. I think this makes them among the best games on the Internet. Any human with taste will want to play them....forget Farmville, Mafia Wars, and Who Ate my Doughnut...my games rule!

Exercise While Writing

There is big news today on the Internet. Facebook is closing their gift shop on August 1, 2010. I can only assume that making those "virtual" gifts must have been more difficult than they realized. You know the humans are lazy when they get to the point that virtual work is too difficult.

I'm sure most of us are familiar with the concept of paper weights. Paper weights are the items that humans put on their paper work so it doesn't blow away. This made me wonder--do they make pencil weights to make sure your pens and pencils don't disappear when the wind blows? Imagine my surprise when I discovered that they do make pencil weights, but they are largely for the humans who want a work out while they write. If you ask this dog, I think the humans are getting way too obsessed with exercise when they have to exercise while they write. I think the humans could use a lesson in goofing off from Garfield the Cat or maybe the lazy humans who refuse to buy the weights for pencils and pens--the sensible humans.
