Border Collies are the Mensa members of the canine world.

Speaking of gold-standard canines:

Tiger toof

Well, if no one else gets this joke, I know Conan will, since we once discussed this.

It's so gross, but so hilarious. If this was a contest entry, she should be declared the winner for the next ten years.

I don't remember discussing that, but I do get the joke. Ewww.

It was a time when I posted, "Come On Eileen! (But only if you've gotten proper consent from Eileen first!)"

And you shared about how, in your younger days, you and your friends would sing this song without the comma, which would make it "Come on Eileen," as opposed to "Come on, Eileen!"

You also pointed out that the subsequent lines about the "Pretty red dress! My thoughts, I confess, verge on dirty" justify the interpretation. And you may have a point. There's no comma in the title of that song. Although I think that's more due to oversight. We're talking about a band that calls itself Dexys Midnight Runners, without an apostrophe in "Dexys."

And that tweet I linked was a response to me, because I had just tweeted that joke, and someone sent me that picture in response. My reaction was probably similar to yours. I said, "Ewwww!" but couldn't help giggling. I admire the lengths she went to in order to make that joke. That's dedication.

All I can say is, I feel sorry for any girl named Eileen in high school when that song was popular. They must have been ripped on to the point where they hated their own names.

Ah, yes. I remember the "consent from Eileen" conversation and the debate on comma usage by Dexys Midnight Runners (or their record company).

And I remember from my youth the jokes made at the hypothetical Eileen's expense during the song's heyday - when the accompanying video was a staple in the MTV after-school rotation.

I'm not sure a "Come On Eileen" costume would be appropriate for an office party, but I tend to err on the side of prudish when it comes to office parties.

Given the song's modern-day obscurity, that costume was a bit of a reach. Wonder how many at the office got it.

How does one pronounce a comma? a lengthier pause?

Unless this office happens to be in the adult entertainment industry or something similarly irreverent, I would agree with you. She still has to come to work the next day. If she made a sexual harassment complaint over crude jokes creating a hostile work environment, H.R. would probably view this with a bit of skepticism as to her sincerity.

I think it's safe to say that all the mid-forties and above got it. Below that, all bets are off.

This dog is clearly a capitalist: understands cause and effect and is willing to work for his reward. I saw another video of a bulldog who was clearly a socialist: he pushed the boy off the sled and hopped and went down the hill. hahahah

This is a WNBA I can get behind, err, in front of.

CC, you mean this video?

My first thought was: The song by ZZ Top.

Then I realized there was nothing like a necklace in sight.

Now this is scientific inquiry at work... An online sleuthing group called Bellingcat decided to see if they could independently verify that video that purports to show the missile hitting the Ukrainian airliner.

They did some satellite image searching and matched the location from where the video was shot to an apartment block outside of Teheran. Then, using landmarks in the video to estimate direction, and the time delay between the flash and the boom to estimate distance, they triangulated the impact point.

Their computed location turns out to be a close match for the aircraft's last reported position. Video verified. I think some of the Bellingcat people were surprised, but they tell it like it is.

RIP Neil Peart.

I always enjoyed his lyrics; lyrics that proved popular music didn't always have to be about vapid subjects.

Now it's MIT at the trough, just like Harvard.
