An Interview With Tubes

.

I stopped by Joe Stains blog and found an opportunity to be interviewed by him. So here it is!

1. If you could have a human job, what would you do? Well, it's well known that I am running for President. But I don't know if that is the best answer. I think I'd want to be Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I keep trying to practice on Fargo's ears, but he won't let me.

2. What was your greatest tale of destruction? I'm not please to report that I am not a destructive dog with items. So, my answer will be that I've caused a bit of destruction to Lex. He survived, however.

3. What is your most favorite treat of all times! I love Beggin' Strips. But even better than that is stealing my Human's food out her her hand!

4. If you weren't a husky is there any other breed you'd like to be? I think I'll be a Border Collie because they are smart and they get to boss sheep around!

5. If you had to spend 24 hours with any dog with blog member, who would it be?! This is a toughy! There's so many good friends out there. But I'm going with my good friend Charlie the Big Dog, AKA C$. We would be 2 wild and crazy guys!!!

Thanks again for the interview Mr. Stains!

Here's the rules if you want me to interview you:

1. If you are interested in being interviewed, leave me a comment saying, 'interview me.'
2. I will respond by posting five questions for you. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with a post containing your answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Some Others

.

(Note: I will answer Joe Stains questions tomorrow.)

I decided that I should share photos of some other dogs we know.

Here's Aussie and Hans. You can probably figure out which one is which one. They lived with my Human's landlady at the time. My Human lived there also, so she knew these dogs quite well. Aussie lived to 18 years. Hans, sadly died at 4 of a condition called perianal fistulas. Aussie was quite active until Hans died and she went downhill quickly. Aussie didn't really like to get her picture taken. I don't think I would have liked Hans very much. From what I understand, he was a lot like Lex!




Hey. Here's Izzy. She lived with a friend of my Human. I never met her, however. But Lex liked her. A lot!


This is Yo Mama Husky. She was once available for adoption with an organization my Human sort of volunteered for. She let Yo Mama come over for a visit one night. She got adopted shortly after that. I didn't know her either!


Zeus (or Zoop, as my Human called him) was a foster at our house (before me). He had an annoying loud voice. He was adopted by a deaf woman. It was a good match. Zeus's original home wouldn't let him come in the house and fed him canned corn. Zeus never went to the vet because his humans didn't want fur in their car. They were stupid.


Look! It's another white husky. Her name is Kyus. She was at the Humane Society, but a worker there quickly adopted her. I met her, but I yelled at her because she was stupid. She wanted attention from my Human!

The War

.

We have been watching Ken Burns' The War on tv. My Human's father served in the army during World War II. He began the War in Alaska helping to build the Alcan Highway. Later he served in Europe as a medic. My Human does not know much about his service, but she does know that he was a medic at the Battle of the Bulge. Watching The War on tv has given her a new respect and appreciation for her father as well as all the troops and other Americans during this period of the human history.

4 Huskies & A Little Carpet Damage

.



For obvious reasons, this is one of our favorite photos. As you can see I was just a little thing when this was taken. And this was taken at the place we used to live. You'll notice the carpet damage in the lower right paw corner. Fargo wants everyone to know that he was the creator of this. He is very skilled with renovations!

Sauna Farmer Nag!

.

My Human is easily amused. She likes to play with anagrams. She used to work for a company (let's call it Yo, Bear Lard). Her boss was a man we'll call Mojo Cakes.

She now works as a Career Humus Son Coordinator or as a Human Accordion Rooster User for a company called Obscene Slug Visitor.

6 Sea Bikini Ushers live at our house...Well, Lex is A Yak Hut Ski, actually. And Fargo is probably a Shaky Alum.

I don't recall if I ever said where we live. We live north of Lubricious Mimosa.

Thanks for stopping by!

Your pal, Bob Three Suit

Updated Template

.

I've updated my template. If I don't have your blog listed, please let me know and I'll add it.

Also, you'll notice that I have added the standings of the Husky Football League. I decided to track university's with football teams that are wise enough to have Huskies as mascots. If you notice a school I've overlooked, let me know that too.

Rooie wanted me to feature a picture of her and "her" car. She said it's hers because it's cute and fun.

Car and Nicknames

.

The lovely and talented Bama & the Army of 4 have tagged me to share the car that most fits my me-ness and my nicknames.

Okay! To the left is my car. It's named after me, so it's my car! The Porsche 911 Turbo! Wooo! The car is also known as the Porsche 930, so that's kind of like a nickname.

Speaking of nicknames...my Human is continuously giving all of us new nicknames. So this list is just partial:

HURICANE AKARA TURBOFIRE: Turbo, Tubey, Tube Wolf, T-Wolf, Turby, Tubes, Tub-Tub, Tubby, Tibby, Tib-Tib, Tube Poop, Poopie, Stinkhead, Stink Wolf, Drippy, Dippy...

AURORA BOREALIS: Aurora, Roo Roo, Rooie, Roo, Ruby, Rubby, Rippy, Ripper, Rubbo...

FARGO NORTH DOGKOTA: Fargo, Farky, Cowboy, Barko, Barky, Cow Poop, Parky, Floppy Cow, Flippy...

DR MISHA MEEPENSTEIN: Misha, Meepie, Meep, Meeps, Moopie, Moop, Mooie, Murpy, Murky, Meat Peep, Meat Poop...

LEX HOUDINIDOG: Lex, Lexie, Lee, Lippy, Loopy, Lumpy, Louie, Bumpy...

NIKI 6: Niki, Needle, Noodle

By the way, the others have cars, too. But right now I'm too annoyed with dial-up modem speed to search for the pictures. I'll do something about it later.

Who Dunnit?

.

Someone ate the modem cord and the network cable at our house.



It wasn't me.

It wasn't Roo Roo.

It wasn't Meepie.

It wasn't Niki.

It wasn't even that stupid Lex.

IT WAS FARGO!!!!!!!!!

What?! The Human Nose! (AKA Humans Don't Have Much Sense)

.


I was thinking more about humans last night. Yet another reason that humans are pathetic is their sense of smell. Humans only have the ability to identify about 5 things by smell: smoke, cinnamon, skunk, bacon, and farts. And when humans do smell farts, they never seem to be able to identify the farter! I mean, how many times have you heard of some poor dog being blamed for a human fart?!

And humans like to brag that they have better eye sight than canines. Yeah, I don't know about that. I recently read that 96 million people in the United States wear glasses. How many dogs do you know who wear glasses? I don't know of any!

Hearing...yeah, like humans can hear anything! Look at their stupid ears. They are stationary and are on each side of their stupid heads! Our ears can move. We can point our ears and listen behind us while looking forward.

Right now I can only think of one thing humans can do better than dogs...play the trombone!

The Truth About Humans

.


We all have to live around humans. Some are better than others, but they are all stupid and they are all lazy. Humans would prefer to sit on their butts in chairs rather than get up and enjoy a nice game of furniture olymics or wrestling.

We canines are blessed with 4 legs, which give us great speed. Humans, on the other hand, have only 2 legs and they are very slow compared to us.

When we dig holes, we use our paws. Humans use big, stupid construction equipment!

And Humans sit on their butts to travel great distances! What sense does that mean?

Many humans go to a place they call "work" each week day leaving their canine companions behind. And what do lots of these humans do? They sit on their butts in chairs!

Humans in any job they hold are more happy to sit on their butts than actually do any work. Strangely (in most cases) the less physically active a human is in his or her job, the more money they earn!

And if a human has a choice between taking the word of another human or getting out of a chair and checking on something for his or herself, the human will chose to just sit and trust!

I strongly believe we can exploit these character flaws in our favor. What do you all think?

New Friends

.

I'm in the process of visiting all the Dogs With Blogs Blogger's Blogs. I'm making lots of new friends and will be added some new links this weekend.

I wanted to call your attention to just one of the fantastic blogs I've visited lately. His name is Russell and he's a Shar Pei. He answers lots of questions on his blog, so stop by if you want to learn something.

I learned something about Russell, however. I think he's an inventor. I found that there is a brand of pen named after his breed!

Why?

.


Why is it okay for humans to disturb our sleep, but they get bent out of shape when we wake them up? This morning we woke my Human up at 5:30am. She let us out and back in. We all went back to sleep. Then we woke her up at 6:30am. She opened the door for us to go out and in as we desired. We all went back to sleep. Then about 7:30am, we decided that she'd slept long enough! She's lazy!

Вуууу!!!!

.

My good friends Star and Jack requested that I take some of the Russian words my Human wasn't using and put them here so that their human can make pictures and teach human puppies something.

A long time ago, my Human studied Russian. Then she studied Ukrainian. She also studied German, Modern Hebrew, Sanskrit, and Bahasa Malaysia. My Human's stupid, though 'cause she can't speak Sibe or Dog at all! (By the way, the title of this post is "woooo" in Russian.)

i = like the ea sound in scream

e = eh (like what humans say when they can't hear something)


Звезда (zvezda) Star

ДЖак (Dzak) Jack

карандаши (karandashi) pencils

книги (knigi) books

учитель (oochitel) teacher

тигр (tigr) tiger

ковбой (kovboy) cowboy

мальчик (malchik) boy

девушка (devooshka) girl

глупость (gloopost) stupidity

собака (sobaka) dog

кот (kot) cat


My Human had to memorize a stupid poem in her Russian class. The guy who wrote the book believed that the weirder the vocabulary, the easier it was to memorize. That's true, however my Human seldom has to talk about talking cockroaches in Russian.

Below is my Human's favorite poem:

Между стулом и столом
Режет Женя нос с ножом,
Перед братом и отсом.
Это очень странный дом


Roughly translated this is:

Between the chair and the table
Zhenya is cutting his nose with a knife,
In front of his brother and father.
This is a very strange house.


My Human is очень странный also!!!

Middle Name Game

.

A while ago I was tagged to play the middle name game. I'm sorry, but I've forgotten who tagged me. My Human has been extra stupid lately, so my mind has been a bit distracted.

My full name is Huricane Akara Turbofire. I've decided to use Akara because it's the name in the middle.

A is for action, because I'm always on the go!

K is for Kongs, although I don't like them much.

A is for anger, because stupid things make me angry.

R is for rib bones, because they are fun to gnaw on.

A is for Alaska, because although I've never been there, I'd love to go!

Human Priorities Can Be Stupid!

.

My Human picked the stupid Dyson up from the Dyson hospital yesterday. It's sucking up the fluff just as good as it used to again!

I found something really stupid on the internet. Why humans would spend $7583.00 on that I don't know! It might be good to eat, however!

Look at this: For that much money humans could buy

690 large Cuzes

1519 stainless steel 2 quart bowls

2962 bags of Beggin' Strips (6 oz size)

7582 pounds of Nutro Natural Choice Lamb & Rice dog food

etc, etc, etc...

I'm bored and there are other things to do!

Roo Roo is Fun

So I have to admit it that Rooie is a lot of fun to play with. She is often up for wresting...



chasing...



and playing leap dog.

I-9's Are Stupid!

.

Here is a picture of Roo Roo saying "woo" for those of you who want to see it.

My Human told me that she's probably going to be busy with a bunch of stupid paperwork preparing for an audit at her job next week. She will be making sure that all of her employee's I-9 documents are filled out correctly. I asked her what I-9's are and she said this:

I-9's are a document that the United States government makes businesses keep on their workers to show that they have adequate documentation for legally working in the country.


I then asked her if she had to make sure that the documents were authentic and she said:

No. The government doesn't require businesses to actually make sure the documents are not forgeries or fake. They just want businesses to have a document that shows that they looked at some sort of idea.


So then I asked told her that it seemed pretty easy (and stupid). I asked her what she had to make sure was okay for the audit. She said:

I have to make sure that the correct color ink is used, and make sure that proper abbreviations are used. And also make sure that no stray marks are on the document.


After this I wandered away because it was boring and stupid.

A Repeat for Holly

.

This classic Turbo Blog entry original "aired" on July 7, 2006.

My Human found a beer a few years ago called Turbodog. It's made in Louisiana by the Abita company. After she found it, she bought a Turbodog hat and t-shirt.

I'm definitely in favor of products named after me.

Update On Things

.

My poop is much, much better. I appreciate your concern. My Human ended up with a poop problem, too. But she is also feeling much, much better. I went to the vet today. I now weigh in at around 50 pounds. I've packed on a few pounds of muscle since my last weigh-in. I'm a lean, mean Tubey machine!



Speaking of machines, that stupid Dyson has to go to the Dyson Hospital. It needs a clutch transplant.



I don't know exactly what happened to the stupid Dyson, but it might have eaten too many of the berries that Roo Roo brought in the house:

Stupid Poops

.

Yesterday I had the stupid runny poops going on! The upside is that my Human got me some delicious treats that made the poops slow down. And the even more upside was that she cooked me a delicious dinner of boiled beef and rice. The downside was that I had blood trickling out of my hind end and that I'm going to have to go to the v-e-t. I am still full of energy, though. I feel great, but my poops do not!

It's still hot and stupid outside. Yesterday we had some big stupid winds blow through our county. That caused our internet not to work last night.

Speaking of the weather...the guy on TV who likes to babble about "weather events" says that by this upcoming weekend our temperatures will be in the upper eighties, which will be nice!

I'm closing with a picture of me as a little guy (and Fargo and Meeps):

Stupidity Offsets

.

I came up with another brilliant idea to separate stupid humans from their money. I'm now offering to sell them "stupidity offsets." I've already persuaded a bunch of humans to give me money so they will be less stupid. It's really a win/win situation. The humans feel better about themselves because they think that they are less stupid, and I have more money for my campaign!

Below are a couple of pictures of me informing the humans about this:

Dignified

.

Tonight I was practicing my dignified look for a future campaign poster:


When Meepie decided to butt in!


We've been waking my Human up at 2 in the morning to let her know that there is a stupid cat or no-possum out on the deck. We thought she'd want to know. Turns out we were wrong. Who can figure out humans?
