Behold the miracle!
At exactly 12:00 Noon on the twenty-seventh day of January in the Year of Our Lord 2009, on the Feast Day of Saint Lupus of Chalons (I kid you not, a most appropriate saint for the occasion, as you will see and like all OS members, he even has a Saint ID = 4364!) there appeared before this faithful canine - praise the Overlord - that rarest of rarities: A doctor free cover. Blessed be the name of Saint Lupus.
But alas, was it only a mirage? An apparition? Vaporous imaginings of a febrile, fried green tomato canine mind? No, my friends, I tell you, NO. Six short minutes later the apparition had vanished, true. Dreaded, dredlocked, dreadful, deadly docs had descended on us once again. But I tell you, what I saw was TRUE. IT REALLY HAPPENED. I SAW IT. HAHAHAHAHA, I'LL PROVE IT. I screen captured the image for pixelated posterity. Read 'em and weep for the glory that was Rome.
And no, the images below have not been doctored. Else, I'd have added some more orange-haired trolls. And cake. Lots of cake.
And I seem to know
That everything outside us is
Mad as the mist and snow.

Damned CDC bedsharing thing is there now.
You have been blessed, my son.
Funny that your saint is found as Saint Lupus. In Chalons, we call him Saint Loup, and in the South of France, Saint Leu (viva Occitania!) I suppose the Catholic Church wants to keep the Latin for universal purposes. But in this case it becomes very unfortunate, as associated with the Lupus auto-immune disease...
No wai. I DON't ask you. I know more than you or anyone. I've just finished reading her new book " An AmiTures Guide to Insufferableness"
(alternate ending) - Cut the Eds some slack. It's hard to move around the OS cubicle (in the back, near the toilet) when you're knee deep in smegma.
Maybe one of the docs can do a post about smegma.
Maybe the newest doc. The one who writes so insightfully about cranio-proctology. He helped me remove my keyboard from my ass, you know.
WOOF
I could have lit incense to the great Gods and ehld a vigil.
I am so sorry I didn't get to see such a wonderful thing.
Was there a moment of proper silence held???
Laughing and spilling coffee.
WOOF
WOOF
Woof next time, if there is a next time.
You are outdoing yourself!
Incredible news!
After working UNDER docs for two decades, I was beginning to have some flashbacks.
WOOF
"But they just can't kill the beast."
MEOW
No tinfoil hatty posts about "chemtrails" have hit the cover...yet.
Really, can that many people actually be reading her?
VR - did you know there is (or at least was) an Italian appliance company called Smeg?
Stella, you comment brought to mind the image of a doctors office with 5 or more women sitting in the waiting room, another 5 lying naked in stirrups while their dear doctor puts the finishing touches on your latest Litany du jour. I just hope they keep the heat cranked up for those pour naked females.
"doctor puts the finishing touches on HER latest Litany du jour."
CCC--Wow, nice catch.
And no, the Latin in fact is incorrect. Parse it and get back here within three minutes with the correct form.
WOOF
Are you picking on me by talking about dreadlocked docs?! Heck, I'm never on the cover and I do talk about fun things like pooping!
WOOF
it shall come to pass
that a paltry party of OSers will fall to their knees
and sing hosannas to the highest
that the OS cover will be sans shock docs.
And the people will rejoice and be glad.
Bastard, ho ho ho, when the docs are away the cats and mice can play. You go, bro, the cover shall be yours.
teendoc, glad you came back. Not nice for a doc to leave a dog all in a flop sweat. Besides, you fooled me, bad doc, what with my old geezer eyesight being so bad -- those ain't no dreadlocks, looks to me more like sweetie cornrows. :-).
Juliet, what are you saying? Two, TWO, miracles in one day? Can it be? Damn, that probably means my prints of the Holy Shroud I was hopin' to sell ain't worth toilet paper. Boy, hard to make a livin' off this OS gig. Hold it, hold it, how's about a new post: "OS Toilet Paper for Sale (guaranteed Docless)". That has the requisite magic words for the ninth chakra, eh?
zumalicious, thank you, but five woofs is way over the top. That should be reserved for the ULTIMATE - Ratings, Most Read, EP AND Cover. Maybe two woofs and a chin tickle. And a belly rub.
WOOF
The I looked again, and saw that had I read "Dog" for "Doc."
Oops.
But, you gotta be kidding me. With all the poochy avatars, that would be a real miracle, to get a canine-free cover. Docs are easy, dogs are hard -- to rid the OS world of.
WOOF
