The Sword of El Cid

A Friendly Word Of Advice

Posted by Ash on May 16, 2008

Never, ever buy a 3D jigsaw puzzle.

Especially not one with one thousand pieces.

Jus’ sayin’, is all.

UPDATE: Three down, 997 to go.

UPDATE II: Thirteen down, 987 to go.

UPDATE III: Twenty-seven down, 973 to go. This is going to be painful!

    Dear Ash

    Should you make it through to the last piece, you be crosseyed or blind. Have no fear, you will get use to the white cane, and lovely gentle dog.

  2. Ash Says:

    As long as I get a Labrador or a Golden Retriever, I’ll be happy.

  3. tizona Says:

    Retriever. They are the loveliest, most gentle and noble breed, I’ve seen.

    However they are quite the jokester…until trained in obedience and of course their duty, to make sure (seeing eye or just as a pet) humans fuck up less with them, then without them.

  4. tizona Says:

    The Corgis would be wonderful guide dogs for midgets, however.

    Mental Image:

    Retriever trots along, and leads owner off a bridge into a manmade lake. Dog starts going “Haw Haw Haw!” in a British accent. “I’m quite the prankster, aren’t I? Haw Haw Haw! Bloody good show old chap!”

  6. tizona Says:

    Well, trouble is, they can’t say STOP and if the owner insists, the dog ain’t going over the bridge. To smart for that one.

  7. Ash Says:

    Yep, the dogs sure ain’t stupid.

    If the dog insists, the owner is going over the bridge though.

    Haw Haw Haw!

    i love those!! especially the glow in the dark ones!!! my underwater one - lost - took 6 months alone. got the hongkong skyline waiting for me. paintball is too early tomorrow, fancy doing puzzles??

    i got a dachshund. whatever others say - he’s mine. i made that decision a long time ago and i’m not gonna throw him off the balcony!! i drove 17 hours in heavy snow just to get him. he’s 8 +/- kgs now. he’s a gorgeous little monster. the sweetest dog i’ve ever had too.

    #9 And the most mischievous. Still, he’s getting a bit better.

  12. Rebecca H Says:

    Just think of the pride of accomplishment when you’re done, Ash.

    As for dogs, I personally favor boxers or border collies. Boxers for their goofy personalities, border collies for their smarts.

  13. Ash Says:

    Except Rebecca, I’m sure that Josh has already stolen a piece.

    Border collies are amazing dogs. Love them.
