No peanut butter or kinks were involved...
Ya know, for a dog that loves going into the sea and the local lake, she sure does have a pathological aversion to being put in, (and staying for the duration in,) the bath..
-
Our dogs are ambivalent about baths, but they absolutely love being dried off. They just keep walking back and forth in front of you, tail wagging, while you dry them with the towel. I am pretty sure they only tolerate the baths so that they can get to the drying off phase of it.
-
My dog is pretty water-averse, regardless of form. My bitch not so much, but she hates baths even more than the male.

Point of contention: peanuts are legumes, not nuts.

I content your contention
some onesomeone fucked up long before we did around 1790, where were you at that time?First off: FTFY.
Now, back to the discussion at hand:
So you're claiming that peanuts are nuts simply because some idiot fucked up in the 1790s? Are you going to claim next that a pineapple is an apple that grows on a pine tree?
Since peanuts are, in fact, legumes and not nuts, if they had been involved in @PJH's dog washing, this would be no indication of the presence of nuts.
-
this would be no indication of the presence of nuts.
for a dog ..., she
Nope.
-
Inb4 presence of nuts does not determine gender followed by confusing misandry flamewar.
-
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is neither Mormon nor a tabernacle nor a choir.
A few corrections:
- Neither: not the one nor the other of two people or things; not either. Since you are trying to exclude three things, you used neither inappropriately here.
- The members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are also members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly referred to as "Mormons".
- Choir: an organized group of singers, typically one that takes part in church services or performs regularly in public. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir meets all criteria of a choir, in that they are an organized group of singers, they take part in church services, and they perform regularly in public.
With all this in mind, LMFTFY:
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is

Figured I might as well make sure you had all your "neither"s right. I leave any other errors for someone else to pick apart.

A firmer indication - well two actually - are that (1) my dog is a bitch (covered previously), (2) the dog has been neutered, and would have been regardless of gender, since she's a rescue, and the shelter she was acquired from make it policy that any re-homed mammals (with the possible exception of equines judging from their website) leave the premises neutered.
So no definitely no nuts of any description involved.
Except perhaps the two that narrowly avoided injury in her attempted futile escape from the bathroom, after her not so futile escape from the bath.

Those are quotes. There's nothing to be fixed.
Basically, you assumed fictional Linda Richman knew what she was talking about.

her futile escape from the bathroom
I keep the bathroom door closed when bathing the dogs (which I don't do nearly often enough (but still too often from the dogs' POV)).

Well, if I were not in such dire need of caffeine supplementation, I might still quibble about why she would attempt a futile escape, rather than futiley attempting a (successful) escape, but since I need both caffeine supplementation and elimination of the previous supplement, I will let it go this time.

Palmolive – it's neither palm, nor olive.
Well, no. You are parsing that wrong. It's pal-molive. Now how do you know it's not molive?
The Civil War was [not] a war.
I bet there's a lot of people who would have disagreed with that.

>chubertdev:

From the source of all information on the Internet (emphasis added):
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the B.J. Johnson Company was making a soap entirely of palm oil and olive oil, the formula of which was developed by B.J. Johnson in 1898. The soap was popular enough to rename their company after it - "Palmolive".[7]

That was really directed more at @chubertdev than at you. I realized your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but it gave me an excuse to respond to that particular part of @chubertdev's post.

No, but you did imply it. Twice.
-
if you read carefully you will find out that I did not imply to nuts or legumes in the literal meaning. The nuts I was implying do not grow on trees nor on bushes nor under the ground.
Actually the nuts I was referring too may be found growing near the bushes.
so I can see why you got confused.btw did you like my comic ?

Status: Catching up on this thread and feel like adding to the chicken chat. We have two chickens for laying and get two eggs a day. We used to have 3 chickens but our cattle dog had 3 unauthorised chicken dinners so I raised the height of the chicken run walls. And got new chickens.
They aren't smelly and are easy to look after. I'd recommend keeping them.

My neighbor has roosters, I have visions of doing something terrible to him with acid and razor blades every time the blasted things wake me up at nope o'clock.
When he brings up his flock I offer to eat the cockerels for him but he thinks I'm joking.

Reasonably enough, that's prohibited here...
