The other day I had brilliant idea: Dog blogging. After all, who needs to vent and communicate more than a captive canine, left lonely and isolated while his human is away at work or school. I congratulated myself on an amazingly original idea and felt good about for about two days. That’s when I found it. A dog’s myspace page with all his buddies sending “woof” messages to him. I was crushed. I went to check my official Monopoly on all Funny Ideas license, but it was gone. Probably those pesky ninjas again.

I was a little deflated, but I’m not out of the contest!

Tell me this, Mr. / Mrs. doggie-blogging myspace idea-stealer. Is that all you’ve got?

Because I’ve got plenty more.

Did you think of bark recognition? I did.
How about an online pet psychologist? That was me.
Or a pet whisperer? That was me too.

I bet you never even considered developing buttsnifficon to help your pet communicate complex odor/emotions across cyberspace. Guess who did? (It was me.)

Have you come up with special dog spam filters to deal with the inevitable “I’m in heat” messages? (Well, I haven’t actually made one yet, but I thought of it. I shouldn’t have to do everything myself.)

Better luck next time.
