Fish Empathy

Sometimes, an idea comes along that transcends the mind from which it originates.  Take, for instance, the new Fish Empathy project from PETA.  The great minds of PETA have embarked on a campaign to help people "feel" like a fish.  No, they are not pushing scaly clothing.  They want people to think fish thoughts and feel fish feelings.  They want YOU to know the pain of the modern fish.  Essentially, fish are people too and if you eat them, your a freaky cannibal.

To help you empathize, 100 PETA members got together and made a "Fish Empathy Quilt".  If anything can evoke fish feelings in me, it is looking at a 300 sq ft fish quilt.  I feel fishy already.  My new found fish feelings have enabled me to come up with a list to help other people empathize as well.   Do you want to feel fishy too?  Here is how:

1. Swim.  Fish spend their lives in water.  Spend extra time in the bath.  You want to feel like a fish, not smell like one.

2. Purse your lips.  It's already the rage in pop-culture.

3. Drop on the deck and flop like . . . you know.

4. Eat Worms.  My first thought was the "Nobody likes me" song; then I saw this.

5. My favorite thing fish do:  Eat other fish.

Who would have thought PETA would encourage meatatarianism?

Spaz Dogs

PETA members, please do not protest naked outside my house unless you are REALLY hot.  To be perfectly clear, noone in the picture below should show up.

I own a small dog.  Small dogs are fun because you can treat them like toys.  You can carry them in travel bags, dress them, etc.

The first time you dress them, they act REALLY funny.  I posted some videos on YouTube.

The first video is my 6 month old chihuahua trying to take his fishing outfit off.

The second video shows the same dog running, hopping, and spinning around because he just doesn't know how to act with clothes on.

The dog was not hurt in either video, but he was mad and he retaliated by leaving some "treats" under the kitchen table.

This third video shows my mom's yorkshire terrier trying to walk in boots.  I had the video set to "Dancing Queen" by Abba, but I pulled the music to avoid any copyright problems on YouTube.  Play any disco tune while you watch.

If I get enough hits on this page, maybe I will post a series of dogs with peanut butter.
