Celebridog...

Brat took (with the assistance of my paws) the Dogster "Which Celebrity Is Your Dog" quiz. And she is...



I couldn't agree more!

I Can Haz LOL?

A friend commented on an old, old, picture of Brat that I used in 2005 post:

"This is worthy of becoming the Loldog equivalent of a Lolcat..."

So of course I had to LOL her:

A Century In Video - 1919

[ Pat Peeve's photostream]

Note: Original clip was removed. I replace it with a Chaplin clip. It's from 1919. It has a car. Close enough.

Of course none of my text makes any sense now.

Whatever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Here is a 1919 New York City street scene. Traffic was very chaotic.



I can't see any traffic lights in the film, although they were in existence by then.

If you look closely you'll notice that the cars have both right and left hand drive even though everyone drove on the right side of the road.

New York started driving on the right in 1804 but...

Early American motor vehicles were produced in [right hand drive], following the practice established by horse-drawn buggies. This changed in the early years of the 20th century: Ford changed to [left hand drive] production in 1908, and Cadillac in 1916.

Admit it, even if they were slow and a titch drafty, wouldn't it be pretty cool to have just about any of those cars?

Here's my official time:

Let me Quibble?

I am seriously thinking of changing the name of this blog. It wouldn't happen before next month, 'cuz I'm not going to create a new masthead before then.

"Why?" you ask. Because it turns out that I'm not as original as I thought. Every time I do a Google vanity search for myself I run across the phrase in other people's blogs. Today for the first time I ran across another blog with the exact same name down to the explanation point.

Not that it's anything like mine. Seems to consist of bible quotes and christian music lyrics -- and THAT'S ALL!

So of course it's exactly like me :-)

(if you really must see - it's here)

I want to come up with something very unique that produces little or (preferably) no other google hits. I would probably ease into it over a couple of months. For example my May masthead would say "blah, blah, new name, blah - formally Let Me Rant!"

Here is your job. Could everyone who reads this post please suggest a new title in the comments. Please keep in mind that you can comment anonymously but that is NO reason to be an asshole because that leads to bad karma

And you don't want to mess with karma!



Ok, I'm sorry, I don't mean it. I really love you, and the problems, well it's not you, it's me!

So please leave a suggestion and have happy thoughts.
