Humans networked over drinks while their canine counterparts followed suit at Duck and Decanter yesterday.

Called "Lappy Hour," the event comprises half meet-and-greet, half pet adoption with the support of local animal placement agency Mixed Up Mutts.

A few dogs and cats found their way to a new home yesterday thanks to the event which occurs every Thursday from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at Duck and Decanter.

I've woke up with a few dogs and I blamed it on the alcohol.

Drinking alcohol is a poor excuse for anything.

Alcohol is addictive, there are a great many bad side effects including arteries that carry our blood from place to place is not fuel line rated. Alcohol swells, dries and hardens those puppies, pun intended.

The favorite meal of alcohol is your liver, loves to consume it w/o the onion.

Alcohol is advertised to parents and children alike, the industry hoping to get another addict to support their families. Each new addict represents a positive to the alcohol industry, like money in the bank.

It seems that our common household substances which are addicting and have bad side effects are advertised to millions to hook another addict. The younger they can entice the human by making these substances look smart and good, lots of pretty boys and girls, the more they take from your labors in life out of your wallet.

Caffeine and Nicotine are among those addictive and harmful substances that are pushed upon us by none other than the pusher man. Hey, listen there is a commercial on right now, be cool, be smart, drink alcohol.

I wonder if there is a plant that is both non addictive and whose side effects are used in the medical field? I seem to recall that there was a vote on this subject and 65 percent of the people approved it.

Bill says:

So what's your point, rodat?

rodat6 says:

Don't get drunk and come home with another dog, you'll be in the dog house. Don't drink alcohol, yer' blood vessels are not fuel line rated, alcohol is addicting, it makes your nose red and misshapes the body. Gasoline is cheaper but is the same basic stuff that powers a heavy automobile. Combustible fuel tears your body apart from the inside out but makes you think that you're clever while doing so.

The leaders of the larger brained, faster memory family of dolphins are females and for a good reason, their motto is basically, "lips that touch alcohol shall not touch mine."

How many points would you like, I have quite a few?

Try this, every human who is on the planet at present or who has ever been on the planet or who will ever be on the planet are blood relatives and they fight like it too. Pity.

As Carl Sagan pointed out, 'we are each crew members of spacecraft planet earth.' Poor crew members at that.

Okay, one more, if the human species of animal, those who chose the smelly third of the planet, if we used half the energy cleaning up the planet and making it a great, loving place to bring a newborn into as we do trying to get laid, we'd have a much better world. Unfortunately the human is messing up the planet for all species both vegetable and animal out of sheer ignorance of the basic values of life. We have death camps in full scale operation so that we can shove dead flesh into our mouths and can remain a species of ignorant animal indefinitely.

A loving, intelligent entity who would create anything and want, need or expect worship from is guilty of self worship in the book of logic. A loving, intelligent, psychic who has all of the known superpowers at that.

I have some more points but will save them for later...

Dogs

How would you like to be born as a dog in this world, kept in the yard for most of your life, given water from a garden hose which everyone knows it tastes rubbery unless you run it for a good while? I want to cry.

Dogs have the intelligence and universal worth the same as a human but not quite the intelligence of a dolphin. Even birds have intelligence and can reason, feel pain, feel joy feel need and have the same value as a human, the same value as a dolphin.

All particles in the universe are related, are connected and are equal. Due to being taught, humans believe that they are superior in some way because they have bombs, guns and manufactured sex toys and did I say automobiles?

Automobile emissions rob all animal and plant life of a better quality of breathable which by the way is the healthiest and most powerful substance that all animal species can snort and it free for the taking.

Dogs are equal in every way as a human, they have the same rights as you,

Just because you haven't learned to interpret a dogs or even dolphins BAUD rate, parity and stop bits, you do not understand them and take them for dumb animals. Hey, we are animals too. And we are not exactly brilliant as evidenced by our paranoid world.

How would like to be a dog in Phoenix or anywhere for that matter where you drink and eat from the same unwashed bowl, month after month, year after year?

Look at your dogs water bowl, is it clean, is it large enough and kept out of the sun so the dog will have a cool drink?

And finally would you eat your dog if it meant that you could continue being human species for a while longer and then join your dog? Then you could be his its dog for a while if Karma is a reality and I think that it may be.

Wilbur Force says:

Meth is ok though, right?

rodat6 says:

Meth is okay?

Sure if you want to fairly quickly burn your brain out.

Wilbur, I have no addictions other than food and water, I am not addicted to alcohol, I am not addicted to coffee nor nicotine nor testosterone and the last pill or medication of any type that I used was in December of 04.

I cannot remember the last time I had a cold or flu, I have never taken a flu shot.

I eat my first meal of the day in the early evening after work, been doing that for over 30 years. I'll bet that I can outwork you, my height and weight are proportional.

I've never tried meth or crack, what about yourself Wilbur?

Wilbur Force says:

If clean livin' leads to that much of a deficiency in sense of humor, I believe I'll pass.

rodat6 says:

How about "kill a commie for christ."

Smoke a joint for Jesus.

Cheesus Priced forever?

I can't laugh at any of them, you must be correct, no sense of humor.

I'll look on ebay, maybe they have one for sale.

Here is another clue, Google my user name and have a good one.

Wilbur Force says:

Yeah, that would require a level of interest I currently do not possess.

rodat6 says:

Wilbur, my father's name was Wilbert, are you He?

I have been saying the same basic things since I got my first computer and modem in 1984. I out of 100 understand what I say perhaps less, I am so far off the scale that even I wonder why I am still a ignorant species of animal.

All of our books say how smart we are, isn't that amazing?

Humans count how many times they have orbited the sun so they know how old or young they are. Quaint, isn't it?

Here's a joke, Humans are so smart they taught dolphins world peace.

Humans put themselves above Mother Nature, She has nourished us for our entire life and when we croak we don't give a morsel in return. When a dolphin sheds its body, the body becomes a nutritious meal for other life forms and in turn passes it on, nothing is wasted. Nature benefits for sure.

When a human sheds their flesh they are either filled full of a toxic, non environmental friendly poison or turned into furnace carbon and neither benefits our planet.

We are ignorant beasts but if you look at the larger brained, faster memory dolphins, we could learn quite much,

Have a good one WIlbur.

By the way Wilbur, I picked up on your most excellent sense of humor right off. Remarkable. I'll have to take lessons, thank your, if we cannot evolve we will not grow.
