Keith brought up dogs in bars....
I would have put this up as a poll, but I can't donate at the moment, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I have a dog and I cook... What health issues? If one poops, you do the same as any other dog owner does. You clean it up ASAP! Dog germs do not immediatly go to the food storage devices.

thoughts?

4. It's true!
In some bars, it's the only way the floor ever gets cleaned!

5. I'd agree for bars that don't serve food ...
... serious, old fashioned bars where the only 'food' ya get is peanuts and maybe some stale vending machine potato chips.

I'm the proud parent of 2 well-behaved and adorable doggies and would bring them everywhere if I could. :thumbsup:

6. KO clearly does not understand the Seattle mentality
dogs rule in Seattle; they can go on any city bus with their owners and sit with them; there are lots of nice dog parks; obviously Keith is not a dog owner. Much as I love him, he needs some doggie education.

In Europe dogs can go into restaurants and cafes with their owners - thats a sign of a highly evolved society

9. Seattle is the city w the 2nd highest proportion of single adult residents -
San Francisco is first - so small wonder that dogs rule here.

12. Be kind to Keith
He and Dan Patrick were discussing public breastfeeding today on the radio (apparently neither of them had heard the story about the mother kicked off the plane for breastfeeding her child before) and KO said that while public breastfeeding might make him uncomfortable, he realized the problem was his and he was the one who should adjust, not the nursing mother.

So hey, maybe he doesn't get the dog thing, but he gets the baby thing. The dog thing may come.

Pet dogs, just sitting around.

17. There's a cat in my local bookstore.
I don't know why there's a cat in my local bookstore. But somehow it wouldn't be as good a bookstore if the cat wasn't there.

Books and animals go together.

25. but remember in revenge of the planet of the apes
Edited on Fri Jan-26-07 12:45 AM by datasuspect
when after all the cats and dogs died, humans began to use apes for pets, but the apes' interaction with humans made them evolve quicker and they became intelligent enough to become slaves and then that's when humans forbade them to speak and learn.


leave the dogs be dogs lest they become our slaves and then turn against us like cornelius and zera's son caesar did when he began the great ape uprising against their human masters.

8. When I bartended in Brooklyn
we let dogs in all the time. We didn't serve food (we had pretzels and peanuts on the bar) and no one ever complained about the presence of the dogs. They were part of the neighborhood family.

10. At our neighborhood "pub" dogs are welcome
inside, smoking welcome outside. I love it.

It's just a couple of blocks from our house and the only place in town to get Old German beer for a buck and a half a can.

Large selection of micro brews too.

11. I say, they have to pay for their own drinks.
And they're not allowed to drive home.

14. A dog walks into a bar one day...
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:39 PM by Canuckistanian
I can't remember the joke, but the punchline is, "and at these prices, you won't see many more of us".

There is a dog rendition of this joke as well.

13. Alcohol is a disinfectant, is it not?
And a few spilled beers won't do any harm to a bar that is inhabited by the species Canis canis.

16. Regardless, he has no business raising dogs in any drinking establishment.
Puppies don't know when to quit drinking beer, or vomit for that matter.

22. They said Keith was bringing up herds of dogs in bars, like we don't already have a dog...
...overpopulation problem. :eyes:

If you're going to breed dogs with reckless abandon, you should at least do it in a proper kennel and not the local pub.














Yeah, I'm fucking with you.

24. I see it in Chicago fairly often.
Fine with me. The dogs are better behaved than a lot of the people.
