Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

Well I have no idea who those people are at all. My favorite celebrity encounter (and excuse me if I've told this tale before) was meeting and hanging out with Jimmy Page from Led Zep back in October 1988. Random chance, he was just bebopping around random bars the night before his solo concert the following evening. Cool dude, just sitting in with various house bands around the bar district that evening. So I sat down to talk with him and he's just all "Hello, I'm Jimmy Page and I'm drunk off me arse".

This is when I realized that celebrities, even one of the biggest guitar gods of all time, still put their pants on one leg at a time. They usually don't even like their celebrity status at all, either. Cool people.
 
Watching old school Hawaii 5-0 again here, and this episode has Hans Gudegast/Eric Braeden in it. You know, the guy that has been playing Victor Newman on Y&R for about 100 years now. I think he also tried to kill Cornelius and Zira in the third Planet of the Apes movie, so I'm sure he's gonna be a good guy in this one.
 
Right now I'm hearing cows mooing in the distance, and I'm really thinking about taking a walk to get them stoned.
 
I "met" Dan Aykroyd once. When I was a brand new USMC 2nd Lt, still in school, some of us got tapped to be princess escorts for this Apple Festival in rural Virginia and he was the Grand Marshall for the parade (or whatever). I say "met" because I didn't ever actually talk to him, I was around people while he was talking to us and I'm in a picture with him (and about 30 other Lts). But yeah, he was a stand-up guy. The princesses did this Blues Brothers tribute in this sort of pageant/show at the start of the festival and instead of just watching and clapping and whatnot, he got up and borrowed a hat and sunglasses and did Elwood Blues. It may have been planned but it sure felt spontaneous. And he did the Elwood "We're on a mission from God" and whatever else to entertain people around at the event where we got the picture taken.
 
Please let us know how that goes.
 
I kind of want to go do something right now, but it is outside of the routine evening activities and The Dog is currently snoring peacefully in the other room. If I start rummaging around in a closet I risk getting her worked up and then I have to get her settled down again.

Other day I got just past the gate on the morning walk and realized I only had 1 poop bag left but I'd already went back in for 1 or 2 things and she was getting so keyed up for her walk that I didn't want to turn her around and go back inside. So I walked something like 3 miles, carrying a loosely knotted bag of poop so I could try to pick up a second poop with it if push came to shove.
 
I watched a video on the structure of the universe with voids and strings of galaxies between them.

Then I watched the slow mo guys fire three paintballs at each other, and it was the same pattern, and I wondered if our entire universe is just a giant paintball collision in some giant slow moving YouTube video.
 
 
I hate that I enjoy reruns of "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels." Because it is so fake. It's on par with "I Love Lucy" for being a fictionalized version of someone's life. I mean, if you don't think about it, you could maybe buy it. But if you do think about it, there's a camera crew. Sophie is sneaking out of the house--with a camera crew. Gene gets pulled over by the cops--who have a camera crew. Gene is sleeping in his Las Vegas hotel room--while being filmed by a camera crew--when someone unexpectedly bangs on the door at 5am. It's fairly entertaining. I just wish they didn't pretend it was a candid depiction of daily events.
 
Bernard Matthews must be rolling over in his grave with what they've done to his mini kievs.
 
When I was in high school our English teacher assigned us to act out a scene from Macbeth, and my group decided to do it with stick puppets. And we did this whole thing where Macbeth was played by my friend Craig's dead uncle and also starring Jerry Mathers as Lady Macbeth's beaver. That went over like a lead balloon,.
 
Lately I've been considering what seems to me to be the very real possibility that Andy Griffith was actually Satan.
 
 
Coming soon in the news - mass shooting at pro wrestling event when deranged audience member saw a fake gun pulled by a wrestler in the ring.
 
DOG PEOPLE, I have a question.

I have an itchy dog. She has been taking Apoquel for a year, I buy expensive dog food :rwmad: I give medicated baths, I wash her bedding, I bought some omega 3(or 4? idk), she gets monthly Nextguard plus. This is all getting ridiculously expensive. Apoquel is an amazing drug, it works like magic, but it is $60 a month, on top of all the other expensive shit I get for her.

What do you give your dogs?
 
What do you give your dogs?
Beer.

Speaking of dogs, this one will be spending time with me next week. She was at the spa earlier getting herself all dolled up for St. Paddy's Day. And no, she won't be having beer with me. Probably.
 
Search me. Mine has some dandruff and got fleas on rare occasion when I was lax with her flea stuff. Sometimes she'll lick herself or scratch, but overall she's fine. I actually don't ever give her baths. She's black and has a double coat so if it's sunny and warm when we're on a walk, if she finds water she'll lay in it to cool off, but I don't ever give her baths--unless she's gotten into something. Or if she laid down in mud I'll hose her off before we come inside.

I am NOT a veterinarian and I don't know anything about your dog so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but maybe try not giving any kind of bath? Baths wash away the natural oils so maybe just let her be funky? I do Heartgard for worms and topical Advantix for ticks and fleas. I might have to try Nexgard. Because I get a bit nervous about her interactions with The Cat when I first dose her with the flea shit.
 
I hardly ever bathe her, but sometimes she rolls in (literal) shit. She is a HEATHEN. If it stinks, she wants to wear it. I once caught her rolling on a dead earthworm. Who knew that dead earthworms are super stinky? SHE KNEW.

I've only ever used Trifexis and Nexgard Plus. The dogs hated Trifexis and could smell it when I opened a dose, it also made one of my dogs puke almost every time. My brother used Simparica and said it made his dog nauseous. The Nexgard Plus does not seem to have any bad effects, and my dog will eat it without me having to trick her or shove it down her throat.
 
I've been lucky that mine rarely wants to roll in anything stinky. So most of my indignities revolve around murdered groundhogs. Luckily a fox has learned that my dog brings them home and will usually steal them overnight so I haven't had to dispose of a ripe carcass for some time now.
