Dolash posted:Barquise de Sade is on my short list if I ever name a dog, so it wouldn't surprise me if more than one dog in town would have that name. Then again, Shaggy Butte doesn't seem to have any dogs with the same name, or any normal dog names like "Fido" or "Spike". Don't overlook Mao Zedog. Or Mao Tse Dog if you swing Wade-Giles.

Space Cult sounds like a very interesting dog. And I am very surprised to find out how much I need BigDog in my life. I had all but forgotten about the original articles, but he's such a perfect parody, but about the stupidest possible topic.

Tell me more about this dog monogamy ballot. I think I live next to Elmo Stephens. I fully expect to get axe'd in the head one day.

This is the best front page thing SA has ever had. I badly want to listen to an episode of Bigdog's podcast. By the way, BiGDOG said that Bug died of a heart attack, but others mention him being murdered, not sure what's up with that. Loving the BigDog character and how he's now praising dogs he downplayed when they were current in s1. Hope reminds me of Laura Palmer.

axleblaze posted:I'm so glad these are back. This is pretty much my favorite front page thing ever on SA. I'm also very curious. BigDog used to plug Panzer in every post, but abruptly stopped with no explanation. If anything, that mystery is bugging me even more than Hope's unsolved murder. BigDog doesn't even mention Panzer in his several latest lists of "greats," which seems to indicate that he has actually stopped considering Panzer "great" altogether as opposed to something happening to Panzer which took him out of circulation among the Dogs of Shaggy Butte (unless the incident is too painful for BigDog to even mention I guess). I guess we won't know for sure until we see Panzer's Barkwire review in a front page post, which will no doubt chronicle the rise and fall of BigDog's enthusiasm for the greatest dog of all time.

Plus, six years have passed since the original BarkWire run ended (at least in terms of story, it's probably closer to 4 in terms publication dates), and it seemed reasonable to have him evolve a tiny bit. It's also very intentional that some of the dogs he names as being great are dogs he badmouthed in the original run. It's sort of a play on "the forums were better 2 years ago" attitude that's existed on this site forever. I don't know that I'll ever do a Panzer review, though I have a couple ideas how to do it. I just think the mystery is probably better than any real answer.

Congratulations, Livestock. Your series of parody dog reviews has spawned followers who are just as serious and unhealthily obsessed as the dog reviewers you were parodying. (It's pretty great!)

Hey now, it's not like I'm sitting in a white box van watching Livestock through binoculars or anything. I mean... like... not that exact thing. But seriously, I really enjoy the craftsmanship that goes into the Shaggy-Butte 'verse (I dunno what you guys call it) and the way all the stories are interconnected. Tracking all the various storylines is part of the fun (for me at least).

I think it's probably for the best to never address the Panzer thing, but I think what would work if it's kind of brought up third hand by someone having a forum meltdown on Bigdog.

If anything, that mystery is bugging me even more than Hope's unsolved murder. Maybe he (Panzer) went county. County dogs, man, county dogs. I couldn't buy into the mystery of Hope's murder that much because it didn't seem to me that a single dog killed her the way many doggers seem to think. What it seemed like to me was that a bunch of possessive male dogs (plus a handful of jealous female dogs) at the park found out she was pregnant (and the males probably knew or thought they weren't the father) and set upon her to attack her, to gang rape her, or both. I figured she died as a result of multiple injuries from different dogs. Now, though, I don't know. Maybe there was a single murderer. BigDog seems to have the inside scoop, as usual, but unlike normal he hasn't been telling one and all exactly what happened.

Thank you for not being beholden to the whims of the poster who said "I suspect dog gang rape in these funny internet dog review stories", because that is a pretty weird thing to write!

I have to admit that while reading these the concept of "gang rape" or even "rape" never really entered my mind. Maybe I'm just missing the subtleties of the ongoing story though. Livestock, if that's what you were going for I want to personally apologize for misinterpreting your work.

What does is the definition of "skeletonize"? I've seen this term pop up multiple times in Shaggy Butte articles. Are the denizens of the town simply too stupid to understand the concept of decomposition? edit: Oh man, I should've Googled it first. Reading Barkwire articles was the first time I had ever encountered it! Leroy Dennui fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Sep 1, 2014 |

I know it was used to describe Teddy Roosevelt's experience where he was shown what happen when you drop a cow into water with (starved, angrier-than normal) piranhas.

i dunno if everyone saw this, but there are dogspotting rules now. i totalled up my day yesterday, and i got a devastating -30 for seeing a tiny dog being carried in a baby sling (-2 + -4) and then 4 tiny dogs being walked together (-8 x 4 multispot bonus).

Orthodox rules are brutal if you live in the city, where people mostly have apartment-sized dogs. On the other hand, it's great if you live somewhere like Saratoga, CA that's a suburb for middle-aged tech millionaires to fill their mcmansions with purebred dogs that eat gluten free.

My headcanon for BiGDog took a huge hit this update. I'm gonna have to update my fanfics. I'd always pictured him as more blue-collar, barrel-bodied ex-military type with a RAV-4 pickup and stereotypical Republican pretentions. Now he sounds a lot more like a thinner version of Comic Book Guy. And a podcast? Come on, the BiGDoG I know would never lower himself to such pandering. Up till this update I'd always shipped BiGDoG x Angelic_Groomer but now... ugh. There's no way A_G would go for a weedy hipster like Podcast!BiGDoG I think you've finally jumped the shark, Livestock.

He obviously shouldn't sound like Three Dog, but it's just too fun to read his posts in that voice.
