Language Pet Peeves: English is Going to the Dogs!: Meet Murray Silvershein
http://languagepetpeeves.blogspot.com/2008/10/meet-murray-silvershein.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. Poor Murray Silvershein is an adorable cockaboo that's as neurotic as they go. He's afraid of everything, including his food. Or rather, the noise his dog tags make as they clank against the food bowl when he's eating. He needs a padded bowl. Poor Murray. Sunday, October 05, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Language Pet Peeves: English is Going to the Dogs!: What is a Dog?
http://languagepetpeeves.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-is-dog.html

When you want to play, they want to play. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They leave their toys everywhere. They're tiny men in little fur coats. What is a Dog?

Language Pet Peeves: English is Going to the Dogs!: Dogism of the Day
http://languagepetpeeves.blogspot.com/2008/08/dogism-of-day.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Dogism of the Day. The Mo' Urban Dictionary defines dogism as a word used to define a piece of advice given from the DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER to people who need to some help fixing their lives. But I prefer to think of it as a the study of fundamental problems of existence, knowledge, truth, justice, beauty, validity, mind and language as seen through the eyes of dogs. Some days you're the dog, and some days you're the hydrant. Wednesday, August 06, 2008. View my complete profile.
