Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for January 31, 2017

Alexander wound up getting halfway into India before it swatted him off like an elephant flicking a mosquito. Methinks it’s time for Poncho to meet with someone truly dangerous.

Right, Poncho, put a classical touch on your badness. You are more the Diogenes than Alexander. Diogenes was a cynic and lazy-ass, worthless bum, but he had his principles and did not bow to authority.

From Wiki: It was in Corinth that a meeting between Alexander the Great and Diogenes is supposed to have taken place.30 These stories may be apocryphal. The accounts of Plutarch and Diogenes Laërtius recount that they exchanged only a few words: while Diogenes was relaxing in the morning sunlight, Alexander, thrilled to meet the famous philosopher, asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, “Yes, stand out of my sunlight”. Alexander then declared, “If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes.”31 In another account of the conversation, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, “I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave.”32

Poncho a while back there was a dog that you guys all feared. The dog was tearing apart everything……………………just cannot remember the name :-(

Mr. Gilligan, you’ve done it again, i.e., reached genius level. This is up there with Poncho’s version of “Memento.”

…and everything was complete – including this arc!~

Oh come on Poncho! Surely your imagination can come up with at least ONE misdeed you’ve never done! Just think about it! Or improve on one you’ve already done.

One well-educated dog.
