And I'll name 'em after y'all
And they'll all look just like me
Rollin' 'round a pile of shit
Just as happy as can be...

Would Hang.

The Dogo Argentino was specifically bred for boar hunting.

But, that's a more modern breed than this here painting.

Doggo looks like he just landed after getting tossed. Didn't keep his feet and knees together, though.

Posted by: RedMindBlueState at April 01, 2024 09:41 AM (5sOEG)

54 That boar is a pretty shapeless black mass (at least on my phone). I wonder if the artist had ever actually witnessed a dog hunt for hogs....

I've been on a few and it's pretty ugly. The dogs don't kill, but hold the Hog in place for the hunters to do the wet work.

69 A tough scene but painted with sublime talent. The level of realistic detail and use of natural colors are enhanced with subtle dramatic exaggeration. I don't know if there were Dutch men's clubs in the 1500s but this would fit right in.

Check out Frans Snyders' Wiki page. It has many examples of his work, especially some stunning still life paintings. Worth the time to follow.

80 It definitely captures the raw brutality of nature. The hounds are in a frenzy to take down their prey and the boar is equally ferocious in defending itself.

103 Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of detonating a bomb near the Senate chamber in 1983.

Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges in connection with the bombing of the Navy Yard and Fort McNair or a plot to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Democrats helped Ms. Duke get her case tossed in 2009, and Mr. Garland later signed off on the move.

108 WSJ has an article today saying GenZ is becoming more blue collar. Trades pay well, are outsource proof and college is too expensive. And the yuutes are shifting away from college and towards skilled trades.

This also aligns with claims I’ve seen that GenZ men are trending more conservative. Fewer men going to college means fewer men pumped full of Marxist shit, leads to more conservatives. Kinda makes sense.

One of the side effects is GenZ wymynses are doing the opposite. They’re all in college getting “Studies” degrees. And they also would rather eat glass than date/marry someone beneath them in the education department. And no way they’re gonna date some right wing extremist!! Which explains why young dudes aren’t dating.

Interesting how it’s all connected.

Even within our lifetimes most doggehs didn't go to the vet no matter what the issue. If it was real serious, you took them on the long walk behind the barn.

They looked at you with eyes that said "This is going to end badly for me, isn't it?"

192 Kevin Costner's fifth birthday.

Veteran actor Kevin Costner shared an unlikely pro-gun story while accepting the T. Boone Pickens Lifetime Sportsman Award in Dallas.

The “Yellowstone” star shared a story about how his grandmother had given him his first gun when he was five-years-old. “They lost everything in the Dust Bowl when the banks closed their doors,” Costner said of his grandmother’s
upbringing. “But before that gun could pass into my hands, my mother had it in hers, and she said, ‘Absolutely not,’” he continued. “It was a standoff between two strong women — enough to break up my birthday party with me looking 3 feet below, looking up.
“But my grandmother, not wanting it to go any farther — she took the gun back from my mom and she held it up and she simply said, in her Oklahoma twang that if he misuses it, you can take it from him. My mother agreed without a word, and my grandmother bent down and handed it to me.”

I've been called for jury pool a couple of times. The closest I came to serving on a real jury was a criminal case. They had us in the courtroom with defendant, his lawyer, and prosecutor.

Yeah, people who should be old enough to know better running around on a hard surface like 20-somethings. I think it probably started out as buds just volleying a ball back and forth but once somebody began keeping score and getting competitive, it got more physical than is good for the target audience.

Ha! It is a journey. You can’t think you are going to dive in after being sedentary for years and just turn a switch. You start where you are, you build. You celebrate small successes which turn into big ones. People who quit do so because they try to go whole hog, can’t, and get frustrated. You didn’t get this way overnight, you won’t undo it overnight either. I am the one cheering the journey on.
