If you want an Aussie dog though, probably look to Heelers/Cattle Dogs. Supposedly they're even part dingo.

One of our current dogs is a GSD/ACD mix. She's an--interesting--girl.

You know what, I have no idea where I got that misinformation about BCs.

FWIW, we’ve been a BC household since 1986. Mom got her first one after I went to college. The puppy got my room.

I’ve got a long list of household tasks to complete today, but what I really want to do is prep for Saturday’s D&D game.

BTW,I finally got to that prep at 10:30 pm. Luckily, however, all my front-loaded prep meant that all I had to do was detail a little bit of the outline I had already created and briefly double-check stuff on the VTT.

Think about how many fewer posts there would be if no one attributed things to a poster that were never actually said.

Reading and understanding what other people said takes too much time, it's more efficient to just make it up and the respond to that.

Yeah, we had the same experience cooking rabbit. Went to a specialty butcher for stew meat, and they left the head in. Really ruined Easter.

I have come to despise the "defending the hypothetical person" tactic, not only as it has become popular in politics, except that because the hypothetical person does not exist, the defender bears no responsibility towards them, and can say or do anything.

I am friends with a now very famous comic book writer, who got their start doing shared world fanfic with me and our friends. They have now written hundreds, maybe thousands of published comic book stories and not a single one of them has taken anything from our shared message board beginnings.

Can't tell if pride or disappointment..
