    If you blow a dog whistle and only your dog can hear it, did you blow a whistle?

    These lanyards were sold to a space company and dog whistler tribe. Whistlers Mother just didn’t cut the cheese. Even with the fatman special nylon straps. Rover would jump for joy though.

    They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town

    With political connections to spread his wealth around

    Born into society, a banker’s only child

    He had everything a man could want, power, grace and style

    But I work in his bathmat factory

    And I curse the life I’m living

    And I curse my poverty

    Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory

    His real aim in life was to compose a symphony for a dog whistle orchestra and give the lanyards away for free.

    Your “Countdown” item at the blog is a perfect example of a hijacked listing. Sometimes the hijackers (you can bet your life most of these are in China) don’t even bother to change the products’ descriptions or images, which is why you get odd patchwork listings like this. It’s a plague for legitimate sellers on Amazon, but there are ways of combatting it.

    As he spiraled further down into the eye of his tropical depression, they had to hide the lanyards for fear that he would fashion from them a quite serviceable noose. By the time his depression faded, it had affected nearly ten percent of his world. Experts would later agree that it was due to his shallow and insufficient thermal envelope, which created the condition of a vapor ceiling that caused his musings to condense and lead to precipitate actions.

    Yeah, controlling costs doesn’t generate the same thrill for everybody. He must not be so much a skinflint.

    I remember Creepy Crawlers. Their ads were clearly aimed at boys, and clearly the boys were assumed and encouraged to act aggressively toward the girls of their acquaintance. Soon the boys themselves would be the scariest thing the girls would face.

    Let’s also remember the wood-burning kits and chemistry sets so assiduously marketed to children back in the day. Consumer product safety – so Lame!

    Re the Countdown item on the Blog:

    Wait, wait. Does that can of bread crumbs really cost $902.81? Presumably that’s with overnight, super-fast delivery. Freight charges from China are murder!

    … dog whistle lanyards were a big part of the great Gatsby’s riches…

    …he got the idea while getting his first Pfizer shot…

    …he had light symptoms that he almost didn’t notice until he did…

    … He got all riled up over little things…

    …he believed someone was opening the comments section to open debate by opening the usual comments to …

    …well…

    …debate…

    …it was like a silent dog whistle to his brain…

    …he had ripped the man’s literal throat out before he realized…

    …hey, I bet that was a symptom of the virus…

    …I never would have acted so rude…

    …before the shot…

    …and it took a while to grab my calming dog whistle out of my pocket!…

    Eureka!

    …what if I put it on my BM lanyard?…

    … why, why, I could make millions…

    …but each million he made did not comfort him…

    …and fear encompassed his soul…

    …what would the second shot do?…

    RE: Toxic Work Environment

    Factory management has indicated you want to hear from us about the so-called toxic work environment here. I seriously doubt this. I have known you and your workplace style for many years now, and have never been impressed with your empathy.

    Anyway, enough about you. Someone who shall remain nameless (because I don’t know who they are) has been mixing up the raw materials between the Extruding Line and the Weaving Line. Someone needs to address this! It keeps happening! I would investigate it myself, but I’m too lame and shy, and am just trying to get through each day and snag my paycheck, such as it is.

    What he did like was when the lanyard was put around his neck and the woman paraded him in front of his family.

    Lanyard or lead?

    Does it make a difference?

    Yeah, I’d deface that smug image, too, Sister! Any putz not happy with making a fortune off dog whistles just hasn’t been paying attention lately.

    Besides, lanyards are so increasingly popular these days, for all kinds of things, such as ID cards (laminated, of course). If you don’t have a lanyard around your neck when you leave home in the morning, you are not fully dressed!…

    Since a dog whistle is in a range we can’t hear, I wonder if a dog that is hearing-impaired has a harder time hearing that range (as opposed to the sounds we can hear.) Is a dog whistle high pitched or low pitched? What about the sounds a whale can hear?
