Modern misuse of hyphens fascinates me. I love it when people use them between verbs and prepositions.

"We're going to mark-up the price to $39.99!"

"You'll have to make-up that assignment."

"Could you pull-down the shade? I'm trying to sleep."

And when I say I love this, I mean that I HATE IT LIKE IT JUST KILLED MY DOG.

Wait... Puppy has a dog? Something about that doesn't sound right. Wouldn't Puppy have a pet person, instead?

Mickey Mouse had both a dog for a friend and a dog for a pet. I don't see how this is all that different.

He also had a lifetime supply of sparkling white, three-fingered gloves that he never took off.

It's kind of scary.

Oh, I'm not saying that it's not scary. It just shouldn't be all that surprising, I guess.


Puppy: Why don't you just shut-up and calm-down, huh? You're getting all worked-up about something that isn't worth fighting-about.

Can we all just agree that "[non-dominant nation] Army", "[nationality I don't like] Intelligence", and "[other people] [compliment]" are all incredibly funny, roll our eyes, and move on? [Smile]

"French Worker" is a better oxymoron than French Army. Seems like they're always on strike when they're not on vacation.

Did I miss something? When did Puppy's post become not funny?
