Golden Brodie Releases his App…End Troubling E-Mails

Published on by Lucas Pam5 Comments

Have you ever wished you had not sent a certain e-mail to a certain person…in business, leisure, a family member, a lover, a done lover, a doctor or lawyer or even worst, to the media or a group of politicians?  Do you forget when communicating through e-mails that the world is there…out there with folks that would just love to get your message and do who knows what with it.  Y’all said yes…be honest…

It’s time you get this app, designed and developed by Brodie, the retriever that knows how to save you from yourself…from the moment when you hit return and can’t get it back… from the moment when a WikiWackie reaches in and runs with your stuff.

Brodie used his natural retriever instinct to develop this free app that will alleviate flying e-mails from your finger tips.  Easy and fast to download, once done, you’ll be in a safer place so others cannot call for your head, call for your resignation, call you names or boo you.

This app reacts to your every e-mail, especially if you participate with a server that caters in any way to the D Party or the R Party…but don’t worry Brodie has covered all parties and independents.

Simply enter your e-mail and when completed, hit enter just like you always do…the app will then go into action, retrieve your message, hold your message and wait for your responses to the questions that will follow to you within 5 minutes. (The cooling down period/rethink this time).  The message reads:  “Are you sure you want to do this”?  Answer the prompt: Yes or No.  Next prompt will show Brodie himself bringing a rolled up message to you in his soft golden mouth.

Follow the prompts: Did you realize that this app does not keep your message out of the hands of meddling people?  Yes or No.  Would you like your mother to read this, the DNC, the RNC, the FBI, another head of a country, the whoever you can think of that should not have access to this?  Yes or No  Are you out of your mind?  Yes or No.  Depending on your responses, Brodie will either take the e-mail, dig a hole and keep the e-mail for 24 hours…then repeating the process or he’ll quickly release the document based on your, hopefully truthful answers.  Delete is always an option.

Be among the first to allow Brodie to save you from yourself.  Think of this as a life-changing free offer and let Brodie save your a..

 

Golden Brodie Dogs it to Philadelphia for Ice Cream

Published on by Lucas Pam9 Comments

Well, welcome one and all to the great city of Philadelphia, PA…to the home of the Hoagie, the Pork and the Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches…you name it sandwiches!…  These folks in the City of Brotherly Love, the 5th largest populous city in the USA is packed with D Party members, voters sitting on the fence, Super-delegates (some possibly in disguises), and the Bern people who came with support for the lady and some of the Bern people who are prepared to be an irritant to the Lady and to her newly announced running mate, Mr. K.  Those two folks are definitely going to have sand in their pants and perhaps all of the sandwich eaters gathered in the Wells Fargo Center will catch this…and sandy pants my friends is not only uncomfortable, but if sand is left tooooo long, an ugly rash could surely appear raising its ugly head…band-aids please.  But what does that have to do with ice cream?

There were whispers and little rumblings that Ben Cohen, yes the Ben of Ben & Jerry’s…yes the Vermont ice cream guy is attending the D convention.  That my friends is why I dogged it to “The Keystone State”.

See… B&J in the past have created a special designer ice cream for people that they admire and/or wanted to celebrate.  There was the “Cherry Garcia” created for Jerry Garcia”; “Whirled Peace” created for John Lennon; and “Yes, Pecan,”to celebrate the inaugural of the 44th President of the United States.

So, I’m on a mission to find Ben and lick his ears and give him the golden retriever lean and persuade him to make an ice cream that honors all dogs.

There is not one person who has mentioned dogs in these political speeches…and I have been listening. So, my hope is that Ben will decide to make “Peach Paws Swirl”.  Luscious, and made to honor all dogs in this world…all dogs that have no vote…all dogs that rely on humans…all dogs that suffer needlessly…and all dogs that have great lives and lastly all dogs that jumped the Rainbow Bridge.  If Ben decides to take up my golden idea…then next comes “Purrrfect”, vanilla, with tiny bits of chocolate shaped like fish.  I adore cats.  Where are you Ben?

 

Golden Brodie on the Loose…declares allegiance to the Christmas Par-ty

Published on by Lucas Pam3 Comments

Ok, ok…yes I was in Starbucks this morning…waiting in the long and silent line… and yes, I did declare my allegiance to the Christmas Par-ty  It was a calculated moment on my part.

I figured that the good people in the Q…desperately in need of being caffeinated and in a uge…hurry …would benefit greatly from being with me at my selected kick-off spot…my declaration.  I played off the scientific findings that when combining a need for a caffeine fix & being in an awful hurry, you have folks that will agree to just about anything…So I announced with a great deal of surprise that the Christmas Par-ty was alive and well and no-one need to sign a pledge to come…together.  The only stipulation was that 1) You show up. 2) You say nice things about the Christmas Par-ty. 3) No complaining about the hospitality that brought you there.

My golden self is really wondering about what I did.  I’m wondering if I will regret this dogged move.  I know that my actions were just a skoch (check the Urban Dictionary) selfish, but in the end, those folks that stood there with me who needed a boost…some motivation..my golden declaration was yet another opportunity for par-ty unity.  So let’s Part-y!

Golden Brodie listening for a “Song of Sixpence”

Published on by Lucas Pam1 Comment

Is today a different day for the R presumptive candidate as speculation swirls around him…as reports snake around the governor’s mansion in the great state of Indiana…wanting the answer…who will be the R running mate..the vice president?… No one will know until the big announcement at 11:00am on Friday, July 15.

Brodie never misses an opportunity to share his polite and political observations.
Brodie never misses an opportunity to share his polite and political observations.

Until then, let me recite for you a traditional, English nursery rhyme published in 1774.  Here goes:

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

So, let’s see if the presumptive nominee gets the pundit birds to sing sweet songs of political harmony, should he choose the one pence.  The one pence who would bring experience and a conservative record…perhaps unification…Let’s see then…

There was such a commotion,
that little Jenny wren
Flew down into the garden,
and put it back again.

My golden self adores this nursery rhyme.  SheShe sings it to me on occasion.  Maybe, just maybe she’ll sing this tomorrow.

Golden Brodie questions a Political Flying Machine and Dressing?

Published on by Lucas Pam7 Comments

The research speaks for itself regarding the intelligence of dogs… the vocabulary of a dog…no wonder I try so hard…a golden dog trying to understand politics.

According to learned psychologists and experts on dog intelligence, the average trained dog understands 160-165 words.  Super smart dogs have a vocabulary upward to 250 words…like that of a 2 1/2-year-old child.  So give me a break when I tell you that I remain confused with the political conversations and shared rhetoric on both sides as they race to the White House.   And by the way, my golden self is not ranked among the super smart and I am OK with that.

Written on refrigerator -Throw This?
A political pundit describing a recent speech given by the democratic candidate…”she threw the refrigerator at him”.

So, after the Bern Man and the Lady finally came together and announced their “togetherness”, she “threw the refrigerator”at the opposing sides presumptive candidate in her speech that sealed the deal between her and Sandy as they stood on the dias together.  I know this is a strong woman and hopefully we respect this about her… but it’s impossible, is it not, that she threw a kitchen appliance at anyone…?!?  In response… to her flying apparatus, the R guy did not even duck… He’s spending most of his time nailing down his vice presidential running mate…it’s said that…”He’s searching for the running mate who will help him to “change the dressing”.  So, here they both are now in the kitchen.  She’s supposedly throwing everything she can get her hands on at this one…while he, supposedly, is looking for his number two guy who’ll represent change, a change-over from the usual oil & vinegar slick to what?…thousand island perhaps??…he’s definitely not thinking green goddess for sure…and whatever his change over dressing is…it will be served on the side.

Brodie spins a political satire.

I do believe that I used up my entire word bank on this one.

 

 

Brodie here. My Golden Political Commentary 14

Published on by Lucas PamLeave a comment

Here we go again, but this time I really am more in control of understanding the political games and lingo used between our R and D sides…I think.

Let me start with the vetting of the possible candidates for the office of the Vice President of the United States.  My dog sensibilities understand the importance of going to the vet on a regular basis, so both parties score high from me on this.  But this vetting process or selection process seems different from my vet visits.  Aside from checking all vitals of these folks there are strategies, political strategies utilized on both the D and the R sides.  Seems each seeks either strengthening their hand through their respective candidate or doubling down with their candidate.

Now strengthening their hand, I deal with that everyday.  I’m learning the skill sets of a therapy dog, so I know who is in charge and it’s not me.  It’s SheShe.  I follow her lead.  She has trained me.  She strengthens my resolve, she asks me to do my job and she expects me to be successful and give what is needed.  Both parties are looking for a VP that will do just that, know that they are not in charge, know who is in charge, but all the while demonstrating success, projecting the right attitude and giving unending support toward the happy picture.  See, I can understand this stuff.

Now we are left with doubling down.  Well, this to me is the crazy because I get straight commands from SheShe.  She has yet to ask me to go down, after I am already down.  Just doesn’t happen.  But evidently in this race to the POTUS, both parties are looking at these channels, while selecting their VP. I tell you… I had to go to the Urban Dictionary for a clear understanding.  It’s pundit speak, OK?!?

Brodie never misses an opportunity to share his polite and political observations.

According to the Urban Dictionary, doubling down can have a hyphen or not and remain correct.  The meaning, as it applies to politics, is “engaging in risky business”. When doubling down while playing blackjack, a person doubles the bet on the table.  The clincher is that this betting person receives only one more additional card.  That’s it.   See, this is the old card playing scenario, yet again.  Now that you have this wealth of golden, researched information, one sees that doubling down, is risky.  Let’s see if either party decides to make that super, bold choice, one that perhaps will blow the minds of their voters, confuse, yet in some way delight the voters.

The most interesting aspects of this strengthening verses doubling down is that no names are necessary in my explanation.  If it looks like a pig with lip-stick, it’s a pig-with lipstick.  And by the way, there is nothing politically wrong with that.  A pig has choices.

Where to begin with the political scene?  With yesterdays chain of events, my befuddled golden head had to seek a cool corner, not due to the summer heat, but because of the unending chicanery and duplicity that continues to surface on both sides in the race for the presidency of the USA.

Brodie the Golden Retriever
Brodie thinking and taking a ride.

The presumptive D candidate yesterday played out this way…”charged with political disaster”…”careless not criminal”…”the truth factor issue”…”bribery”…”it’s not over with ongoing investigations from and through the FBI”… there was a plethora of troubling and unclear accusations.  The closer for this fair lady was when the 44th gave his stump speech supporting her race to the White House. As he sat on the stage with the lady, she kept pointing out all of the many areas, mostly domestic in nature that are in serious need of repair and policy changes.  Yes, and she would make things happen that have not been happening for years… and people don’t want to continue waiting.  Confusing??…  And the 44th agreed silently, smiling to the crowd as he stumped.  Wow!  That was a running dichotomy…a conflict…he didn’t…so she would?  I’m beyond understanding this.

The presumptive R candidate today played out this way…”hundreds of bankruptcy filings hurting the little workers…”continued business practices that harm the hard-working people”…”he won’t pay and doesn’t care”…”frequent flyer in bankruptcy”…a shameful man…”used bankruptcy laws to his credit”…”still has not released his tax return”…”not fighting for the average person but for himself”…I’m beyond understanding this.

I’m a dog.  I have a job.  I do my job and when I don’t, more training shows up for me.  This is good.  My golden goal shows me as a well-behaved and trusted golden that gives happiness to others.  So, if you are a government employee, part of your job is acting in a credible and ethical manner. If you are a business person, part of your job is acting in a credible and ethical manner.  Enough said…  Perhaps this race could use some golden goals.

Stumped by presumptive and oligarchy

So much has happened and my level of confusion has risen to the top of the golden charts.  Help me out.

That word “presumptive” keeps flying around.  She’s the presumptive candidate for the D Party, but the Bern guy continues to stoke the flames.  Then on the other side, the presumptive candidate can’t have a party, throw a party, make a party…so he’s not invited?…He said he’d go it alone.  What?

And another thing…that word “oligarchy”… the fire burning guy brings that up a lot.  And why?  I thought “oligarchy” was one of those luxury designers fashion brands. ..you know worn only by the rich and famous…red carpet garb.  If I’m right, then I guess the Bern wants everyone to have the same clothing opportunities…you know dress for success, dress up, dress like you mean it?  Seems my golden bewilderment is unending.

This is a day for remembering.   A woman is now the democratic presumptive nominee to run for office of the 45th President of the United States.  This is not confusing.  The history books will find this so recorded.  The memory of this will be forever remembered and discussed.  Ask yourself “What will history record?”

My golden outlook tells me we should forget the associated edgy stuff that has been swirling around regarding the presidential candidates. History will not remember the tittle-tattle or speculation or even care.  So for the moment, “Just Drop it.” I get that this is not easily accomplished for many. I’ll share that I have worked hard learning how to do that command.  See, because I am a retriever, dropping something is just asking too much of me at times.  However, because of my gifted trainer and loving owners, I have learned to listen and not ask questions….usually.  Yes, I can identify that some folks want to hold onto the junk….and miss the moment.  Do yourself a favor, be trainable.  Open up your mind and know that history will so record this event as a monumental step for all humans…”Good Job!”

Brodie the Golden RetrieverThe presumptive candidate…the tentative candidate…the speculative candidate…The superdelegates have spoken for the “D” party.  What happened to letting the votes from the people decide?  The Bern voters in California just might decide to stay home from their primary given the timing of this “super” situation. Oh my…What is happening?  Let’s be fair.

I’m thinking that these superdelegates have been given out of control super action figure powers.  They need to go. Consider a golden alternative for “super”….Each presidential candidate identifies with a certain coffee brand.  During each primary in each state…with the purchase of said coffee…a point is collected.  For folks that do not drink coffee, walk-ins will be taken for said coffee…with no purchase necessary to cast a point.  Drink often, point often. …Finally, on the floor of each respective political convention, the coffee brand that received the most points gets to serve up the “Super Java” to all of the delegates.  …the coffee of the people…coffee casting…serving up the joe… (definition of joe:  an ordinary man.)  Now that’s a super hot alternative to these super influential politicians…maybe I’ll go into the coffee business…
