IN WHICH I AM COMPELLED TO SPEAK OUT

Supposedly, allegedly, these are the top ten last lines of movies of all time. Bleh.

Omitted, the real top ten:

"Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"

"Well...I'm back."

"And like that...(poof)...he's gone."

"That'll do, pig...that'll do."

"As you wish."

"Say, friend - you got any more of that good sarsaparilla?"

"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom."

"I'm known to locate certain things from time to time."

And my #1...

"Boo?

Kitty!"

HEY BULLDOG...WELCOME BACK TO THE TOP 10

Watch it, shih-tzu - there's a proper dog on its way back up the charts, says the American Kennel Club.

1. Labrador Retriever
2. Yorkshire Terrier
3. German Shepherd
4. Golden Retriever
5. Beagle
6. Boxer
7. Dachshund
8. Poodle
9. Shih Tzu
10. Bulldog

Not that the house currently has room for any sort of canine. Noodle and the Beast would love it, but the cats have veto power. Still, bulldogs always make me smile. And they also make me crave a steak, a cigar, and some gin.
