Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Like A Dog

Hey, Conan the US Army dog. Whatcha doing?

“I have no idea.”

You’re a dog.

“Yeah. I’m relatively whip-smart, though. Compared to a dachshund, I’m Einstein. But I’m still a dog, and I got no idea what’s happening. This is a new place. Never been here before.”

It’s called the White House.

“There are odors you wouldn’t believe in here. Little tip from me to you? Someone has been doing black magick in this building.”

You can’t possibly know that.

“Trust my nose. I’m good at two things: smelling shit, and biting dicks off.”

You bite a lot of dicks off?

“Yeah. It’s classified, so don’t tell anyone. But, yeah. I get their balls, too. Usually.”

You okay with that?

“I am okay with being a good boy, and I am told I am a good boy when I bite off dicks. But not, you know, random dicks. Unauthorized dick-biting makes me a VERY BAD BOY, and I cannot do that again.”

You went freelancing?

“We all make mistakes when we’re young.”

Hey, man. No judgments here.

“Who are these people? This guy I am with is not The Guy, but I know him. He’s good people. Generous with the scratches. Got a lot of fetch in him. Good people, but not The Guy.”

Your handler’s identity is classified.

“Love him. This guy’s good, but not The Guy. What’s with Milkbone here?”

That’s Mike Pence. He’s the Vice-President.

“Look how close I am to his bacon and eggs. One shouted German word and breakfast would be over.”

Don’t eat Mike Pence’s dick. Wait.

No. Don’t eat his dick. Hey, how does that work with attack dogs? What if, like, I knew the secret German words?

“What about it?”

Could I shout them at you and get you to do stuff?

“No. What are you, an idiot? You’re not The Guy. I only listen to The Guy. The commands are in German to keep people from knowing what he’s telling me, not because I’m some sort of Manchurian Candidate that goes insane and starts murdering at the sound of German.”

I think it’s also in German because German is a scary-sounding language.

“One would assume. What is this thing? It’s shaped like a person, but doesn’t smell like one.”

That’s a person. He’s the President.

“What does that mean?”

Alpha.

“Oh, God, you’re shitting me. You made this your alpha? I can smell him decaying. And he’s petrified of me.”

The man does not like animals.

“I need you to listen to me: I know what humans smell like. He doesn’t smell like that. Call the authorities.”

He is the authorities.

“I could…you know.”

Eat his genitals?

“Yeah.”

No.

“Took you a while.”

I’m still mulling it over.

A Terrible Poem By A Good Dog

buck-noble-wyoming

Smells.
I will smell them.
Tree.
I will smell it.
Tree.
Smell this one, too.

The Guy does not smell things,
Or if he does makes a big deal out of it:
Bending over,
Shoves his snout right in the thing.
The Guy is getting old;
Cannot smell anymore.
Maybe.
I don’t really know.

He could have the rope if he wanted it;
I just pull on it because I like to pull on things.

The deer down in the clearing
Is weak and
Chase it,
Nip the undersides where it’s soft,
Tangled on its own guts and
Down on the dirt:
The organs are the best part,
But tough.
Cats kill their food before they start eating;
You know what they say about dogs and cats.
Why do I know that?

That tree has not been smelled;
I will smell it.

Hello, there.

“Hello. I love. Hello.”

You’re a very good-looking dog.

“Did some modelling.”

How’d that go?

“Pooped on a camera.”

Oh.

“Offered to eat poop, but that made no one happy.”

Probably not.

“No pleasing people.”

Lemme ask you a question.

“Shoot.”

Is there dog racism?

“I bark at Asian ladies.”

No, I mean intra-species. Like, schnauzers against mastiffs or whatever.

“Dog is dog. Butt smell like butt.”

That’s nice.

“Except for little dog. They are sub-dog. Bring country down. Cause of problem.”

What did they do?

“Yap. Hate yap so much. Want to eat. Cannot eat.”

Can’t eat them because of the rules and perhaps an inner dog morality?

“Had all aggression bred out of me. Am big lazy baby.”

Just as good.

Well, hey there. Who’s a good dog?

“Me.”

Who?

“Me!”

Who?

“ME ME OMIGOD ME SO GOOD YES.”

That’s right.

“Why you talk to cat?”

I talk to everybody.

“Talk to dog. Not cat.”

You’re kinda anti-feline, aren’t you?

“Not against cat. For dog.”

Okay, sure.

“What wrong with being proud of dog heritage?”

This is going in an odd direction.

“Cat come here. Take our naps.”

Please don’t do this.

“Have too many kitten.”

Wow.

“Do not assimilate. Cat neighborhood is dangerous neighborhood.”

You’re coming up to a line.

“#ALLPETSMATTER”

And there’s the line crossed.

“Cat poop in house like BAD DOG. Commit crime.”

We’re done.

Puppy-Dog Eyes

Please don’t make that face at me.

“But I love you and give me food now.”

Which one?

“Both.”

Okay.

“Food now.”

What happened to love?

“Love always. Food now.”

Stop this.

“Okay. I stop asking for food. You go eat food and then I will lick your face.”

Dude, you’re obsessed.

“Food is so good.”

I don’t beg you for food.

“This is a situational argument. You have food. I have no food. If I had food and you had none, you would beg me. Our discourse is contextual and based around the power of withholding. Read your Foucault, man.”

What?

“Food now woof woof.”

Right. You don’t think your people controlling the food supply is a good idea? What would happen if you could eat all you wanted?

“Eat until puke.”

And?

“Eat puke.”

And?

“Puke puke.”

And?

“Cycle continue until sleep.”

Right. Your people keep the food away from you for a good reason. Besides, you are most likely one of the best-treated dogs in the history of doggery.

“How you figure?”

You’re in the house. That’s kinda recent. Hell, a lot of places in this country still don’t let the dogs in the house.

“House is the best. Is where people are. Couches. Food. It does not rain in here, but it does thunder sometimes, which is not okay.”

You spend time with the people just hanging out?

“We go to the park with other dogs. The other dogs also have people, but they are not as good as mine.”

That’s sweet.

“I want to start Instagram account for them. Dress them up and take picture. Get likes.”

That’s weird. Anyway, back in the day, people didn’t hang out with their dogs. Rich ladies and poor kids, I guess, but for the most part, humans and dogs worked. Not just watched Netflix.

“And chill.”

No one’s saying that anymore.

“I did not know. Sorry. I love you.”

No worries. Just saying: you got it good.

“So good.”

Right.

“Do you have food?”

I’ll find you something.

“I love you.”

Yeah, yeah.

See That Dog Star Shine

The notable thing is that Bobby is photo-bombing the dog, not the other way around. It’s not even his dog: some random family was at the mall having portraits made of their pet and Bobby burst in and kept lunging into the shot, no matter how many times the photographer said he was going to tell Garcia.

Bobby’s gleeful shouts echoed through the Sears, “I’m a dog, too! Woof!” Security was about to put a forcible stop to the whole thing when an urgent call came in over the walkie-talkie about a man with a mustache rampaging through Menswear punching mannequins where their dicks would be, if they weren’t mannequins.

It was a strange afternoon; no more shopping trips were scheduled for quite a while.
