OT: 105th Obsequious Banter Thread: Penny for Your Thoughts

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Girl woke up early to go running today (our half marathon is next Sunday) and about 7 miles in she found a dog. It was collared and on its collar there was emblazoned a number. She called the number, and it was animal control (or a similar entity). The operator got Girl in touch with the owners. The owners said "that isn't our dog anymore, we gave it to someone else", to which Girl pressed for info. Who is Someone Else? What is their phone number? Girl got in touch with Someone Else, a woman, and she didn't even know the dog was missing and weren't very thankful upon receiving the call.

"Are you missing a dog?" "Uhhmmmm....I'm not sure?"

They said they couldn't pick up the dog because she was the only one there and only had a horse and buggy. She called the dog "Shiba". The dog was a Shiba Inu, so obviously it didn't even have a name. The dog was skittish around people. Girl relayed this info back to the operator who called the police, who then dispatched animal control to the scene to corrall the dog.

Then she relayed the info to me, and I said it sounds like a puppy mill, and I said you need to tell animal control what happened and that you don't think it's best for the dog to be returned. Girl waited with the dog until animal control got there and explained everything and animal control was rightfully concerned. The dog is on its way back to the shelter and things will be investigated.

Today is Girl's birthday. She is a hero and I'm proud of her.

Of note: after this, the original owners who the dog was registered under called Girl back and asked "so...you let the dog go, right?" so I said you should block their number and report their f***ing ass too, because what they're really asking is "no one knows about the dog, right?"

I'll personally beat these people within an inch of their life, only so they can endure hours of Chinese water torture with dog pee instead of water.

Nice work, friend. Tell Girl we all said "Happy Birthday, hero."

I don't have much time to binge watch shows anymore, but Shoresy was f***ing awesome.

Someone should pull their skin off

Looks like we're approaching the reign of King Charles.

Elizabeth has been Queen for all but 2 of the 72 years my father has been alive... I wonder how many British monarch changes will happen in the lifetime of my 4 year old...

Sir, I’m an American. I’m not approaching any reign of a British monarch.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sir, I’m an American. I’m not approaching any reign of a British monarch.

The Queen is on our money still, which is tragic, but reverence to the monarchy is pretty much non-exisitent in Canada these days.

I legitimately can't imagine money with Charles on it. Thankfully, I try to avoid cash as much as possible. I am the anti-Jojo in that respect...

Jojo, do you accept Canadian money for OnlyHands subs?

Act now for your 5% mourning kicker if the bill pictures the Queen.

I can't make spreadsheets with color and binge watch shows. Also Hulu ads blow and no 2x speed? Cmon. Took my like two months to get through Letterkenny.

pour one out for the queen

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

And it's official. The Queen is dead.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Rip the Queen

 

[swami24]

Charles is such a d'ouche. Not that it matters to me but he should just abdicate. A guyb2 cubes away is English born with a cokney accent. His take... at least Charles is old and won't be around long.

 

[trostol]

i mean..it was gonna happen..but it felt like it never was..

Ahem. A word, sir?

[Flybynite]

Does Reggie Jackson have an alibi?

 

[Lord Defect]

@DancingPanther happy birthday Girl.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Charles should take Rameses as his regnal name.

Elizabeth's death was inevitable (no shit), but I hate Charles is King now.

Still better than this...

I remember reading many moons ago when the Queen dies BBC was going to interrupt every channel with a broadcast and other ceremonial things would happen. Pretty crazy stuff. 72 years! What a legend
