Hey it's fun to talk about absolutely nothing, breeding pixels and comparing our scrolls and trying to get the 'new' dragons. It's hording that doesn't cause any problems LOL. What's more is Dragons don't need to be trained, pottied or excercised (I think I'll suggest getting a pet dragon for the next person that comes on here talking about how they want a dog without the hassle)

Carla, I just clicked one of your eggs. I'm not sure what exactly that does but I guess it helps them hatch or is that like a CM poke

. Maybe I'll alpha roll one of your Dragons.

Thanks Westhighlander, my eggs appreciate it! LOL

As far as the CM debate goes, my opinions on him are well published on this site. I'll stick to the techniques I see used everyday at my job (SeaWorld) on animals that could kill a human with ease as well as the dogs, cats, ferrets, a pig and birds they use in their "Pets Rule" show (all of which are rescues and they adopt out when the animal is ready for retirement). I'd love to see Ceasar alpha roll Shamu, he'd end up a crunchy Orca snack!!!

But can I alpha roll your dragon, or at least an egg?

cshellenberger · 06-02-2009, 12:56 PM

LOL If you can figure out how, just beware of the Blacks and the reds, they're the 'warrior' classes!

LOL! Now I'm amused about the crunchy snack thing and jealous that you get to work at SeaWorld!!

One other thing about CM.

Though I can't be sure why, the number of dogs that people walk daily in my neighborhood has gone from 1-2 to basically almost every single dog since CM and his show have gotten popular with his message that all dogs need daily exercise like a walk.

That alone is probably enough to make up for some idiots misusing what they see on TV. Millions of happy walked dogs.

And in other news, the number of times I've seen the next car I will buy has gone up two fold too. Which raises the question, who is the Shelby Whisperer?

Carroll Shelby of course...

Or J Walter Thompson their marketing agency depending on how you look at it.

Both likely rake in a whole lot more than CM inc.

Well since Ford is not bankrupt yet it's an easy choice. Oh yes we bought a new Trailblazer last Sept. I keep telling people about not being brightest bulb in box thing.

All warranties will be fine, your GM cars will get serviced. It's actually a great time to buy a GM car. I'm actually considering the Camaro SS. http://www.chevrolet.com/vehicles/20...aro/gallery.do

cshellenberger · 06-03-2009, 09:25 AM

Westhighlander, I've looked at the new Camaro SS, it pales compared to the Shelby GT 500. We were originally going to buy the Camaro with all the hype surrounding it, but were VERY dissapointed by how cheap it felt inside. I'm a Chevy fan (Currently own an 08 Malibu and a Silverdo 1500 Z) but Chevy came up short on this one! We've already ordered our GT 500, Kona Blue with the White stripes and are expecting it in January. Yes Curb, I'll post picks for you to drool over

Winniec, It's a fun job, but honestly it's only until I can find something that pays better unless I can jump into a leadership position soon. I'm making a bit less than I would be other places for comparable work ad since they've been bought out by the Dutch (Inbev) alot of the better 'perks' have been taken away.

well I'm not so sure you can say a dog has never had exercise in its life just because its fat

case in point......every day I see 2 different owners ...one that has a huge overweight sausage of a Rottie....but I know it gets walked every day because i see them on my way home like clockwork

and One that has 2 choc. labs that remind me of potato bugs..LOL...but again I see them right around the time I'm taking my daughter to school in the am..walking walking walking

I agree CM has brought the need for exercising you pet to the attention of the GP....but so have a lot of other people and programs ...in general I think the ideas about pet ownership have changed greatly in the last 10 years

TxRider · 06-03-2009, 09:26 AM

I guess the point was lost, that if you are a CM detractor you cannot very well hang responsibility for teaching millions of idiots an arguably bad technique like an alpha roll he only does with a minority of dogs and doesn't even recommend....

Without also acknowledging what he stresses more than anything else with every single owner, of every single on dog, on every single show he's ever done. Which is that you should walk or exercise your dog daily if you want a healthy well mannered dog, and that it is responsible for getting millions of people, idiots and otherwise, off their duffs and walking their dogs..

Not if your intellectually honest anyway.

GM warranties backed by the full faith and credit of Uncle Sam. Yeee Haw. I still would not buy a new car GM or otherwise, but then I wouldn't buy a new car under any circumstances. Maybe when I've got a few mill stashed away one day, but not until then.

I don't, I tend to talk to other owners when I'm out walking or working out front and they walk by. They tell me themselves their dog is new to going for a walk.

Since mine walks well, I often volunteer to walk with them as it helps some of the dogs. Especially people getting drug around by strong unruly dogs.

The GT 500 costs so much more than the SS. I haven't seen the inside of the SS but I'm surprised you think it's cheap. What did you think was cheap about it? The other car I'm looking at is the 370Z which I've been in and I think is the best sports car value out there. Only problem is that it is really small.

Yes, but if you are ever going to buy one, now is the time to do it. Some cars are just being given away.
