One of my German teachers told the story that after WWII, the Germans told the Americans that what they needed was “corn”–meaning what the Americans would call “wheat”; the Americans gave them what Americans call “corn,” much to their disgust, and leaving them feeling that the Americans intended to put them down, as maize was at that time only used for animal feed in Germany.

This could have been my previous dog, also a field-bred Springer. When we moved from Yorkshire to Minnesota she continued the same trick, but in the snow instead of the tall grass.
She was certainly the brightest dog I’ve ever had, but she was true working stock (sire was a gamekeeper’s dog), so bred for it.
“Wormsign,” said Paul. “Ready the maker hooks.”

The large grains of salt used to cure it were called corns. So I fully expect to see a dog jumping in and out of a salt mine. Post haste!

That looks like it belongs as one of Adult Swim’s bumpers. They’ve got the most delightfully hallucinatory channel bumpers. Also some really nice scenery-based ones as well.
Really BB? 25 replies, and NOBODY has posted this yet?
I am disappointed! GO TO YOUR ROOM!

If there’s one dog in the entire universe throughout time that I actively hate, it’s either that one, or this one:
Jumping up to get a visual bearing, maybe, but what a happy-looking individual. It reminds me of the late 60s, watching my dog’s disembodied tail wagging hither and yon on the surface of the wheat field across the road from our house.
