Our Laser Dog and Wild Hogs


Friday night, Megan was at work, and John was picking her up. They had plans to go out to eat. I'd been working so hard all week, and didn't want to cook. So Josh and I met Kelly at El Charro's....where you can eat for almost nothing, the service is great, and the food is yummy. We had a good time together. Josh asked Kelly where he could get a laser pointer and so the two of them took off.

They came home with a $2.00 laser pointer and the movie, Wild Hogs. We laughed our heads off watching crazy Sloopy with that laser. Seriously, belly pain laughing. He pounced and chased and jumped on things and did twisty moves and flipped around trying to catch that thing. But....if you pointed it on Shammie ....even right in front of her paws, Sloopy would just lay right in front of Shammie with his tongue hanging out, anticipating, but not daring to mess with Sham. I love it that he knows she is the queen. It's funny.

Then, we went downstairs and watched the movie. The cast of Wild Hogs is what makes the movie work at all. They were terrific. John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy play four middle-aged men escaping on a cross-country road trip on their Harleys. They were totally convincing as long-time buddies. I have to admit, I was embarrassed a couple of times at things they could have left out, but overall it was a funny movie, with some great slapstick. A goodtime movie to top off the laser party earlier. Seriuosly, there were laughs all night. Good times with the guys. Awww....yes. (altho I prefer not to scratch and spit)
