Tears of laughter, quote of the day

November 18th, 2010

If you haven’t encountered the blog “Hyperbole and a Half” yet, you are SO MISSING OUT. Allie Brosh is a genius writer and one of those deliberately bad cartoonists whose drawings seem to burst with emotion. Her latest post, “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving” — look, I’m only halfway through it and I’m already sharing it with you, it’s that funny. She has two dogs, and apparently her “simple dog” resembles, physically and psychologically, Milo. Here is how Simple Dog solves problems:

And this, my friends, this is the quote of the day, which follows that picture:

But making high-pitched noises won’t solve your problem if your problem is a complete inability to cope with change.

I think this is the truest and wisest thing ever, ever said. And, also, one of the better analyses of the current U.S. political climate I’ve read in several months.

    Saw this on my RSS reader and thought of you and Milo before I realized you were the poster! Definitely noticed the resemblance.

    Here is a link for you in case you need something to think about besides impending holidays:

    I thought it was a goof at first. Retailing genius/social engineering/worthless junk or all of the above? Hmmm…

    Oh my goodness thank you so much for that link to that blog. I was hysterically laughing last night, harder than I have laughed ever at a website. That thing is GOLD.

    That was *hilarious*. My dogs didn’t do that when we moved, but my cats’ behavior was very similar (though not nearly so entertaining).

    I saw that before you linked it, but I LOVE it. Did you read The God of Cake?

    I found the new scale of pain last year after falling on the ice and doing unmentionable things to myself. I found it very helpful, and if my doc had used it, I would only have been a 6-7 rather than an 8-9.
