People who give their dog non-dog names. "Cool dog, what's his name?"    "Mark." Instantly no longer a cool dog. It could be a frisbee catching, life saving, German Shepard. Call the dog Paul and it is no longer cool.

Well we didn't name Sammy and Tyler, they came from rescue with those names, and it was a little late in life to change them.  Especially Sammy, he was 7 and had had previous owners who called him that.

The only dog we named ourselves is Joey, full name Joey Pants because that actor's nickname cracks me up and it fits her.

My dog is named Dodger after the role Billy Joel played in "Oliver and Company"

The manner in which domestic DVD releases of foreign films is handled. Always expensive and it's often a bare-bones disc (Criterion Collection notwithstanding).

Not really related, but are you anti-French only cover editions, or is that only certain Canadians?

If he lives in Quebec, I'm not sure "Breathless" and "Elevator To The Gallows" Criterion DVD's, for instance, can be sold there. Maybe edgar can correct me?

when a top 5 team's highlight shows up super late in a sportscenter show, I just wanna see it and go to bed guys.

Also, when I see a highlight and they only show one team's plays, even if they didn't blow out the other team, a la the Lakers highlight I saw the other night. Why do I call it just "The Lakers Highlight"? Well because I don't even know who they played.

Yes, the Texans have this problem as well. Even when we win big they usually lead and predominantly feature the other team's highlights. We need to win way big to get much highlight respect.
