I will be popping a cork in just mere minutes, here in semi-sunny Wilmington NC, where my wife and I are visiting for New Years. Been a bit busy to check in, besides my netbook is way tiny and real hard to see.
All this talk of dog piles reminds me that in '08, I found out the answer to that age old question, "does a bear #$%* in the woods?". And that answer is no. We were staying in a mountain cabin, and went for a walk to a nearby man made pond. We walked across the dam that made the pond and cam across a pile that could only be from a bear. I know this because I, also, had a St. Bernard at one time. So the true answer to the question is that a bear #$%*s on a dam.
Damn.
