Name, Tag

.

Thanks for tagging me Holly, Kelsey & Smokey, and Steve, Kat, & Wilbur. I'll list my wants & unwants at the bottom of this posting.

A long time ago I posted a picture of the dog I was named after. My Human has friends who show Afghan hounds, and they had an Afghan named Turbo. My Human decided to name me after that dog. I think it's a cool name! Below is what he looked like:



I have the nickname of "Tubey" more of less after the mascot of a website my Human spends far too much time visiting called Television Without Pity. Tubey-mascot is shown below:



Now, on with the tag festivities...



Wants:

• snow
  
• alone time with my Human
  
• toilet paper tubes
  

Non-wants:

• Lex to get attention
  
• my Human to go to work
  
• hot weather
  

The Rules:The player of this game starts with "3 things he/she would love to get for Christmas", and then lists "3 things he/she definitely does not want to get for Christmas." Then, he/she tags 5 friends and lists their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And, the one who tags, needs to leave a comment that says, "You've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

I'm tagging Meepie, Roo Roo, Niki, that stupid Lex, and (whynot?) my Human. But they have to switch over to Beta before they can post! (sigh!)

Television is Stupid

Do your humans watch that stupid television thing? Mine sure does. There are a few shows that she watches a lot: House, Good Eats, Judge Judy, Project Runway, and Cops. Of those, only Cops is smart enough to actually have dogs on it. (Regarding Project Runway, my Human is saddened that Malan was auf'd. She feels that some potential good snark was removed from her life.)

I don't watch much tv. It doesn't interest me much. However, my Human gave me my nickname of Tubey because of the mascot of Television Without Pity.

When my Human goes to her stupid job she will leave the radio on for us. We never get to choose the station, though.

Today the stupid tv said that it's going to be a high of over 100 degrees! But tomorrow it's supposed to be a high of 85. And the stupid tv said that we're supposed get some storms tomorrow. Can't it just change temperatures without those stupid storms!!!!????

Nicknames

My Human calls me by many, many different names. Of course my registered name is Huricane Akara Turbofire. So she calls me Turbo, of course. But she calls me a bunch of nicknames. Tubey, Tube Wolf, Stinky, Little Guy, Junior, etc... One of my nicknames (Tubey) sort of came from something. My Human spends time reading and posting on a website that has a mascot called Tubey. What is it with humans and their stupid websites?

My Human calls us by our nicknames at least as often as (if not more frequently than) she calls us by our real names.

Lex is Lumpy, Louie, Loopie.

Misha is Meepie, Moopie, Mookie.

Fargo: Cowboy, Barko, Cow Pops.

Aurora: Roo Roo, the Little Girl.

Niki: Noodle, Needle.

I won't write what we call her!
