I had a friend who named her dogs Leto and Chani.

Epic!

For a different kind of nerdy, my mother started a tradition of nerdy names for our cats. We've had an Oedipus Rex, an Antigone, a Perseus, a Clotho, a Lachesis, an Atropos, and a Sisyphus.

The dog in Jim Butcher's Dresden books is called Mouse, if that helps.

I had, up until Cold Days, always pictured Mouse as somewhat Great Dane-ish. (Not to be confused with a great danish.)

I don't know why, as I know Butcher had mentioned the Tibetan Mastiff before, and I've certainly spent enough time in Asia to know what a temple dog ought to look like, more or less, but still the image got stuck in my head.

Probably from too much Scooby-Doo.

:D

Is this actually possible? How can you have too much Scooby-Doo?

I have no idea what one of those temple dogs looks like. I always assumed it was like 10 feet tall and five feet wide. I shall investigate.

Just Google Tibetan Mastiff. You'll get the gist.

Sort of like a scruffier Saint Bernard.


Sort of.

:D

I read in an interview that Mouse was based on the Caucasian shepherd. My sister said she saw one in real life just a few weeks ago. She said it was unreal just how BIG the dogs are.

Here's a pic from the Interwebs:

I always thought of him more like a bigger chowchow... But then I've known a chow, so that was easier for me to picture :)

Hi all! Sorry I've been scarcer than usual... Continuation of building works in the house has kept me away. I've back read, though, and signed up for the story swap and handed out some reps. :)

Blessed Solstice (Here comes the sun again! My favourite time of year, when the light starts to come back!) to those who celebrate! :)

Why would you boil perfectly good meat unless you are making soup?





Or, you know, British.

I'll have you know that not all British food is bad.

Most of it, true, but there are some good places.

If anyone wants to know how bad the food can get here, then I have horror stories to tell.

Super geeky dog name brainstorm... GO!

Sirius?

Too obscure?

Is that middle one the same thing as take out, or is it a specific product?

Fish and chips, curry, kebabs... All the things which I shouldn't be eating.

Only slightly?!

:roll: For 'slightly', read 'completely'. :D

Some places over, you get a queue of five people and the place is full.

Oooh - there's a bar not far away called... Creepy Wee Pub? I can't remember the exact name, but it really does live up to its' name. Ten or fifteen people, and it starts to get really crowded.

I'll assume only one thing from now on BW, at 35 you're old (yes I used that word again) enough and daft enough to know what's right and wrong to eat.

:Hammer: I'm. Not. Old.

Can we please stop saying BW's old at 35?

This. Just this. This, with tinsel and Christmas music.
