Despicable Dog Names

Ok...So, technically I'm borrowing part of this post from the last...but it was so long, I doubt you read that far down anyways.  And I know that I added pictures...but it was a lot of freaking writing, so I don't blame you.

So, the other day, while getting my paint for the upstairs (which was supposed to be blue grey...and looks slightly lilac...eew) at Home Hardware, we stumbled over to the pet section.  This inevitably led my 4 year old to throw a tantrum.

(Quick sidenote for those of you without kids...tantrums are most easily dealt with by not dealing with them.  You must not indulge the child with "when you're older..."  "If you save your money..."  or "maybe"....unless you actually mean those things....I don't want another dog....the answer is NO...end of story...no.  And no, I'm not a heartless beeyotch...we already have a dog!)

4yo:I want a Chihuahua

ME: No

4yo: I want a Chihuaha....NOW. (Little balled fists and stamping feet.)

Me: No, Veruca Salt*....now get in the truck

4yo: Thats not my name...and I still don't have a Chihuahua

Me: I noticed.


(*If you don't know who Veruca Salt is, you must watch this, it'll give you a nice visual of the fit about the Chihuahua...except there was no singing...or oompa loompa's)

So after we get home, she informs me that she had already planned it all out for this little Chihuahua.  His name was going to be ..... DAVE.


DAVE...really!? Dave is just not a Chihuahua name. 

You have to name a chihuahua like Pepito or Taco or SkippyJon Jones...or Senor Amigos....or something remotely Mexican sounding....don't you think?

Its like naming a Rottweiler  Fluffy or Princess or a little poodle Thor or Hercules....you just shouldn't do it.

Do your pet names fit....or are you a Dave the Chihuahua type of person?

Depp - The Disasters

Apparently it was Johnny Depp's birthday the other day....(yes, since I'm mentioning it now, its just further proof on how out of the loop I am.) I know that some of you love him, but I think he's weird. Not like 'I eat bugs' weird, but more like 'I talk with 4 different accents in one conversation weird.'

Anyways, I don't think that I've ever been a big fan of his. I thought that it was just a little too far fetched.....you know the whole boy with scissors for hands thing. And then there was 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'.....but lets be honest...I was too busy starring at Leonardo DiCaprio to even care about Johnny Depp...(quick side note, that was back when Leo was hot....and I do think that was the general consensus back then, so don't be giving me the side-eye about liking chunky guys.)

But truthfully, the movie where he completely lost me was the shiteous remake of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' The original is quite easily in my top 5 favorite movies of all time (don't judge... I'm pretty sure that you probably like some ridiculously gay movie as well.) Anyways, he destroyed the remake. What in the name of pervy movie character hell did he think he was doing? Really, he turned an eccentric chocolatier (played by Gene Wilder) into a creepy pervy candy peddler. (And No....for all of you die hard Depp fanatics, I refuse to take that back.) And the haircut on Willy Wonka....what the eff was going on there?

I finally saw 'Alice in Wonderland' with basically the same general conclusion. The Mad Hatter is a bizarre character at best, but what was with all of the accents? (...yes, he had more than one) and the huge eyes? It looked like they superimposed Puss in Boots' eyes from Shrek.

Don't get me wrong....I mean, he was a good Jack Sparrow in 'The Pirates of the Carribean' and he was good in 'Blow' too. Its not that I don't enjoy the movies he's in, he just gives me the heebies. Especially if he's teamed up with Tim Burton, but I won't even get started on Tim Burton .....
