Hot diggedy dog

I've never really been in favour of putting clothes on a dog for reasons other than warmth, so I can't decide if this is a cute or cruel way of dressing up a dachshund:

I don't have Chinese fonts installed on my computer, so you'll have to write that out in hanyu pinyin.

Having said that, I can assure you that I can't imagine having the linguistic faculty that making a pun in Chinese would involve.

So the other day I saw this daschund and as it passed I said to my friend, "Doesn't it look lovely? Like you could eat it. In a bun." And the middle-aged woman walking it turned around and said to me, "Yes... In a bun... mmmmmmm." I think I should just keep my mouth shut in future.

Well, it would probably be a bit too heavy for the dog, so, a bit cruel, It looks sorta cute but, Unappetizing . So, no. I don't want to eat it. But really, if you saw a dog dressed like that walking down the street, or running in a park, You'd probably be... Scared. Probably not necessary to dress dogs anyway, but. People will still do it, no matter how silly thier dog looks.

well i have a doxon and i think this should only be put on for a little time because i could hurt the doxon but if this was for everyday use it would be bad to the pup.

Quite funny: George W. Bush was caught without cash at church when the offering plate was passed around, and had to get help from his dad. I always forget to put cash in my wallet, actually, so I sympathise. (Via Esoterically.net .) Extremely sad: Italy's real-life Romeo and Juliet , this one set in Padua instead of fair Verona. Just plain strange: New Zealand gang steals dead member's body from his own funeral . Elv1s 4ever: Elvis has the 1000th UK number 1 single with "One Night". Quite a remarkable feat for a performer who's been dead forever. Although it's probably more due to a decline in the singles format. Spiralling downwards: Paris Hilton caught on tape shoplifting . Apparently, being a Hilton means you don't have to check out. The idea of catching P-Hilt on video has jumped the shark.

Verbal agreement

From a Grauniad Guardian article on James Dyson , inventor of the dual-cyclone vacuum cleaner: He still has one major ambition. To become a verb, in the same way that Hoover - or, as he puts it, "the alternative" - has done. I suggest to him that people are already using his product but still saying they are "hoovering". He smiles. "I don't think they'll be doing that for long," he says. That struck me as unusual - it's very rare for a firm's leader to say that he wants his product to become a verb. Lots of other companies like TiVo and Google have tried desperately to avoid their name becoming a verb, for fear of the name becoming so generic that the trademark gets diluted. But then, the Languagehat archives seem to show (see comment near the bottom) that Dyson's big on turning his name into a verb. *** Sadly, due to its distinct lack of vowels, the chances of "sng" becoming a verb seem close to zero, regardless of whate...
