Dept. of Spiffing Up For Company
With the imminent arrival of our pal Mikey, it was decided that the schnauzer needed to be cleaned up.
So, he got the "What The "Hell Am I Doing Here?" treatment!

He was none too happy about things- he quaked and quivered and generally looked as pathetic as possible, but by golly, we got him fluffy and shiny and smelling like something other than half-decayed mulch.
We showed Bob the photos and he was greatly pleased.
More gory photos can be found here.

Cool Toy Alert!

The website that carries them has been slashdotted into unresponsiveness, however.

A picture named namath.jpg An Interview of Namath Comes Under Scrutiny. The Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath displayed bizarre behavior during a sideline interview with ESPN at the Jets-New England Patriots game Saturday night. By Judy Battista. [New York Times: Business]

I saw the interview and it was obvious that Joe was well into his cups.

Or as they say in England, he was tired and emotional.

When Kolber asked Namath about watching this season's Jets struggle, he launched into a rambling reply.
"I want to kiss you," he said. "I couldn't care less about the team struggling. What we know is we can improve. Chad Pennington, our quarterback, missed the first part of the season and we struggled. We're looking to next season. We're looking to make noise now and I want to kiss you."
Then, Namath finished off his answer by yelping, "Yeah!"

What I don't get is why the article goes to such lengths to avoid stating that Namath looked, sounded and acted drunk as a skunk.

Now c'mere.......I wanna kissh yew.
