"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

And now, a word from our sponsor
(H/T: Friend and commenter Jonah, who brought Cal Worthington to my attention)
I'm a So Cal boy, Watched many a late movie with Cal and his dog Spot. Must be a million verses to the song. "if I can't sell you a car, I'll eat a bug", he was eating chocolate covered ants or something as one of his promotions. Cal always put a smile on my face.
(Life-long SoCal resident here) When I was a kid in the late-1960's, we had a mongrel dog that was genuinely goofy-looking: German Shepherd (body), Collie (head) and Basset Hound (legs - no, seriously). He was, naturally, named Spot.
(By the way, Cal Worthington changed the way cars are sold over the entire nation. He was the first to realize that a car dealer could make way more money on the financing than on the car itself - the car was an excuse to make a loan.)

I wonder which of those dogs would come running when he yelled, "Here, Spot!"
I know that's supposed to be a "trained" tiger in the ad, but I just don't think I'd do that.
The scratches on the hood were a conversation starter for sure. Not sure about the fishy smell from the seal.
