PoopSpace

I was walking my Dad's dog the other day and this thought came across my mind: Dogs have been socially networking for centuries right under our noses. Kind of a strange thought, you may conclude, but check this out: You know when you're walking your dog and he seems to be just aimlessly sniffing around for the "perfect" place to pee or poop? You may often get frustruated at your dog for being so damn picky. What's actually taking place is your dog trolling the interweb of pooches, or as I like to call PoopSpace. I would've said ShitBook, but let's keep it professional, people!
See, whenever a dog peese, he marks his territory to let other dogs know, Hey this is mine! When another dog comes along and smells it, he thinks, Aw hell nah, and leaves a comment of his own.
Make sense?
So what about poop, you may ask. Well, what about it? Everybody poops, get over it. Pooping is awesome and it's good for you. When ever a dog comes upon another dog's poop, it's the same as reading another person's blog: It's boring and it stinks, but you either pass over it briefly or get stuck on it and can't stop till you end up dropping a load off of your own somewhere.
My Dad has a female dog (please get your bitch jokes out of the way here), and sometimes when she smells a male dog's urine, she has the overwhelming temptation to roll on that spot, which we highly discourage. What she's doing is adding a friend. You may not realize it when you see it, but it's for real. By rolling around on that spot, she takes some of the scent with her to enjoy for later, at the same time leaving a little behind for him whenever he comes back next, thus making a common meeting point for each other to come back to.
As you can see, dogs really are the superior species. Seeing as how I couldn't possibly poop on a street corner without being self concious (at least while sober) or roll around in someone else's pee for fun (at least while not shrooming), that definitley puts dogs above myself in the awesome gravy train.


Side thoughts: Have you ever been to a Mexican barrio in Southern California? The laundry mats are fuckin poppin on the weekends! Whole families gather together with their BBQ grills and cervezas and just rock the block of its socks! I've never seen so many people excited about doing the laundry, to me it's just another mundane task to accomplish every week. Those guys know how to live!

Whoever invented trash bags is a genius. Making money off a product whose sole purpose is to throw it away again. And we NEED those things! Wish I was around back then to cash in on that deal.

You know what stinks? Dirty people on the bus.
