Around here, we like things.
And one of those things, is dogs.
So tonight we are blessed with a COVID miracle – the second night of the Westminster Dog Show. This weekend marks the 145th iteration of the event – the second-oldest continuously held sporting event behind the Kentucky Derby – which began Saturday at Lyndhurst Mansion, a National Trust for Historic Preservation property, in Tarrytown, New York.
Because of COVID restrictions in New York, there are no fans allowed, and I guess MSG was apparently busy not hosting Knicks or Rangers playoff games. So, that’s why they went upstate.
Last year’s winner was a Standard Poodle named Siba,
the first win for a poodle since 1991. Who wins tonight will be anyone’s guess, although the smart money is on little rat dogs like Papillons, Shih Tzus, or some other shitty runt from the Toy group. [Late edit – the Pekingese! Which won the Toy group.]
But who cares – it’s just one more delight on our screens this evening.

Was in the land of legalized sports betting AKA New Hampshire earlier. Tossed $5 on Scotland to win tomorrow. Lets go you crazy bastards
Hello Cardinals.
Thanks for stopping by.
My dinner is less glamorous than the Doktor’s, but I have no complaints.
I’m making a soupie stewie thing with white beans, chicken, carrots, leeks, and collard greens. Smells crazy good.
Ad lib stews are the best stews.
Hey, you ever worked with duck eggs? I picked some up at the farmer’s market today.
I’ll probably just use them for breakfast, but I might try brining a few.
BYYYYYYYYAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
He is correct.
I’m shamelessly eavesdropping and I quite like the people to my right

I kinda like these people to the right, the one dude is on pointe
I like 2/3 of the people on my left. The dude is pretentious but the ladies are okay, he’s failing them
Just let us know if you hear any good stock tips.
Chris Myers is wasted!
Has Tom Brady been declared the winner of the Fancy Boi category yet?
Fuck yeah venison with a big red!
Got a pic this time
I love venison. The best I ever had was in Scotland, at a 17th century coaching inn on Loch Eck.
That dog show is a fashion nightmare
It’s like there is a prize for the gaudiest outfit. I love it!
We needed Buddy Cole to judge the couture.
oh shit!!
Nikola Jokić joker is out of the Game!!!
yea Nugs are cooked.
psyched to see the Suns moving on.
Foie is delicious and the fact that geese had to suffer makes it better
People opposed to foie gras have just never met a goose.
They are assholes who deserve to be force fed, then eaten.
this suns vs nugs NBA game is Rocking!!!

bow wow those sunglasses r rocking!!
Enjoying the show?
Awww.
Ooh, this Muscat for the foie is gooood
Similar to the typical Sauternes, but better
Bold statement.
Its got the honey flavor but more dimension
The people sitting to my right apparently know the sommolier’s sister who works in finance
Okay, I can accept the Samoyed winning the group.
They are fluffy fun dogs
My sister had one. He lived to be 18, playing all the way.
I imagine one in a field of snow and like the Cheshire Cat, only seeing the eyes and mouth.
I am probably unreasonably excited that its a Gruner Veltliner with the soup
Austria is having itself a day!
They really should get the person who does the dog_rates Twitter account to judge the Westminster Dog Show.
Shit, Ned Beatty died. He was unbelievable as Ed Conner on the show “Roseanne”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuBe93FMiJc
Used to see him around Vancouver. Always said hello.
He also had a real pretty mouth.
Really liked him in Homicide Life on the Street.
Ok, I laughed. Squeal like a pig!
Jon Voight had the pretty mouth. Ned Beatty had them little panties on.
That is a handsome thicc boy right there.
Big. Boi.
I’m also enjoying how the judge is dressed like Mrs. Roper.
Kind of Mrs. Roper with a little Phyllis Diller mixed in.
Ooh – good call.
Messi is 100% boning that dog.
Nice to see Bonnie Rotten showing the Greater Swiss.
My wife asked if they were talking about the dog when they said “Very defined markings of the breed.”
Someone once told me that only loose women drink sherry
You mean, “great women”.
That’s why Steve Perry was so excited.

No doubt it was Cecil Rhodes, that rascal.
I love it. My Grandma and I used to kill a bottle of it on a Sunday afternoon.
I don’t drink it often, but it’s definitely something I need to explore more. I think it’s one of those beverages where a lot of people only drink the really cheap stuff, then conclude it’s all shit.
Nailed it. I had no idea until a Sherry lover ran me through the 5 types of them. With that knowledge it isn’t always Harveys Bristol Cream, and Dry Sack (heh)
I think I have a similar thing going on with Beaujolais. I don’t think I like it, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had anything other than cheap Beaujolais Nouveau, and I have developed a liking for other light reds, so I probably should take another run at it sometime.
What kind of Sherry?
Oh dear, while most beef is best on the rare side, this is not true of proper waygu, as the extensive marbling needs enough heat to melt
Extend your pinky, sip your Beaujolais & discuss proper grill temperatures.
Beaujolais should not be had with beef. Too fruity and light.
‘Berta Beef?
The Great Dane was a pretty (big) girl.
I had a friend who used to walk hers while she drove her tiny car. His name was Shuster, he was dumber than a box of rocks, but very sweet.
Was the other dog named Simon, or Wayne?
Can you imagine two of them in your house? It would be like having indoor ponies.
Fancy dinner time! Started with a glass of dry rose, next up Jason iberico with a sherry pairing!
Jamon is not Jason, stupid autocorrect has no class
/immediately creates “Jason Iberico” sockpuppet DFO account
His friend, Ron Mexico.
Damn, I thought it was a mistake for “Jason Derulo”
I had a hamburger and a hot dog!
Well la-dee-dah, Mr. Rockefeller.
Bet he had sum of dem there napkins too.
It’s a rose day here, too!
The unofficial [DFO] dog, the Boerboel, is named Cletus this year.
“Most dogs’ll never eat a skunk…”
Interesting goal for Colombia. Half the team was offsides but not the guy that counted.
I will take it!
George is a handsome lad. He’s no Lambeau, but he still has his balls.
My friend that just moved locally has one. Such an affectionate puppy.
Okay – Working Dog time.
Gorgeous animals, although I do not like the ear pinning etc. Also Dobermans are terrifying animals.
Good album.
I took delivery of an air purifier this week. It has an app that reports on air quality. My new hobby is farting on it to get a proper reading on my GI health.
Be careful you don’t accidentally squeeze out a shart.
Watch out for The Man
This has been a bit of a self own as it spreads the bouquet far and wide.
According to this device, odor is not a measured part of air quality.
In a brilliant bit of supplemental programming, the sister station to the dog show broadcaster in Canada is showing “Best In Show”.
Oh we watched until the real dog show started.
Colombia v Ecuador!
Also, the NASCAR All-Star race is on FS1.
Not sure I have enough nose candy to do this match justice, but I’ll try!
FYI, Ecuador, for some weird reason, is wearing teal and white. They may have gotten into the nose candy pre-game.
They look like a Caribbean club.
Lookit this shaggy new guy!
Elastic was invented (or rather, patented) on March 17th, 1845
Tomorrow looks like a stellar Euros lineup. Go Scotland, Poland, and Sweden I think!
*check arrives*
Oh yeah, now I remember why I usually only drink while playing in Vegas.
Seriously though, if we ever have another Vegas DFOcon on the strip, we should just go to a small poker room and all sit at the same 3/6 limit table
*still cheaper than Canada.
Given that the casino makes their money off the rake, would they care?

Went ahead and Dived On In with solar for the home. Already got my email welcoming me “to the solar family”.
I may have to move on this three day right of recension if this gets any more annoying.
At least it’s not like the Manson family or the Jim Jones family
Trying to watch the COPA game, but they keep showing diving
Gotta score on style, difficulty and execution
No clean entries tho
My first go wearing heels in the last few years went okay! I set the bar low, with well-made 2 inch non-spike heels and managed to walk the half mile to the Bellagio with only one small blister!
That’s funny — I’ve been wearing nothing but heels most of the pandemic.
I’m completely over heels. Unless it’s chonky. My fancy shoes are ballet flats.
These are historical reproductions and I’m a sucker for that sort of thing
Dogdogdoggydog! Here’s another picture of my good boy, Bear. I miss him every day
Bear gives off the vibe of a GOOD DOG.
He was America’s Sweetheart!
Bunch of you all like WrASTLin’ right? Will Summer Slam be a sellout?
Yes. It’s in Vegas, people want to blow off steam, and they are promising Cana putting over Roman.
Eurotrip is on IFC. Full nudity.
Tuned in for the nude beach scene aka sausage fest
