I tell people what I do, and they always go wide-eyed like it’s some kinda dream job. Yeah, as if. Try sweating under forty pounds of fur and fiberglas while some dipstick in a chicken suit pounds you with a rubber mallet and then get back to me.
Don’t get me wrong; it’s not all bad. The hours are convenient. Beer’s half price. Sometimes I put on the head and drive around, y’know, just to mess with people. But seriously, if you’d told me I’d be doing this, I’d have shown up more in college.

“This is a photo bomb with my boston terrier Porkchop,” writes Katherine M.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . . *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* HAHAHAHAHA *THUD*
What she said.
*runs to look for the Hello Kitty defibramajig for Theresa*
Best. Photobomb. Ever!
Seconded!!!
*giggling like crazy at the coffee shop*
Couldn’t agree more! Not to mention an AMAZING name! Boston Terriers Rule!
Doesn’t look like a Bruin, so I s’pose it’s a Boston Bomber! Or B. Terrorier.
A Bob-omb?
PS: “Porkchop”!
NOMTOM, I’m dying with laughter over here.
How’s your mom doing?
She’s feeling better; thank you for asking. By the time I printed the responses, there were over fifty pages, so I faxed ten to her and sent the entire printout by mail. She asked me to thank all C.O. readers for the outpouring of support. It may be too fatiguing for her to read them all, but the sheer volume has, I hope, impressed her that this is still a caring world with a place for her.
Hugs.
Thank you for the update, Mike. I’ve been thinking about her and sending good thoughts her way. Hugs to you both!
I’m glad she enjoyed them.
Good thoughts continue to fly her way.
You’re a good son, my best to you both.
I’m glad that she’s feeling better. She can tuck those pages away for a rainy day when she needs some cyber hugs.
Please let us know if there is more we can do.
NOMTOM I felt so bad I was absent for a few days and missed the opportunity to send some love to your momma and tell her what a lovely and talented son she raised, but I know my fellow COers stepped up to the plate.
I’m happy to hear things are improving for her…
What Theresa said. And then some.
I cannot tell you how much I laughed at this. Mostly because I’m still trying to catch my breath.
First of all, Porkchop.
Secondly, OMG!!!!
love!
I swear animals know what a photobomb is and plan them out carefully. This one is perfect. And I love the name “porkchop” too.
Pure. Genius.
OMG!! Laughing SOOOO HARD at this! I actually GUFFAWED out loud when I scrolled down. I was not expecting a BT Photobomb. Porkchop’s expression is hilarious. I love everything about this. HAHAHA!!!
I love the “Heh, heh, hehhhhhhhh” look on Porkchop’s face.
et moi aussi.
Oui. Although a wink would have really flattened me out.
Brilliant!! NOMTOM that lead in then seeing the photo. Best EVER!! I’m dyin’
I just wet myself laughing.
not really, but darn close!
Named after Doug Funnie’s dog?
I would really like to see a BT mascot. This guy’s head is almost THIS BIG!
This is absolutely hi-lar-ious! I just about fell off the sofa with tears in my eyes – love it!
I am a BU alum, so I jes’ fell in luu-h-hv with this (after I stopped laughing so hahd I had teahs in my eyes and rollin down my face) Bahston pupster. But the name “Porkchop” got to me, and I was gaspin’. Wicked funny! Wicked! Oh, and the pupster is anerables, too.
Perfect hovertext as usual.
Also; Porkchop!
Porkchop needs a porkchop.
insightful and also true.
ps: nice choice o’ hovertext, as well.
Another entry for the coffee table book we’re all waiting for…
Definitely a Joey Tribiani glint in Porkchop’s (!) eye……
Very good NOMTOM, AND VERY FUNNNNNNYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : – )
Wow! She’s really keeping her man on a tight leash.
Hey NOMTOM Glad to hear mom is doing better !
P.S.Don’t forget to call your MOMTOM !
Well, this made me think of Tom and Ray Magliozzi’s nephew whose nickname was “Pork Chop Boy” because the only way to get the dog to play with him was to hang a pork chop around his neck.
Tom and Ray lifted that from an old Rodney Dangerfield routine.
I can’t believe Porkchop made it onto CO! This just made my lifetime. Thanks for the comments everyone!
Katherine M.
He’s seriously a cutie. Lot of boston terrier fans on this board.
yup!
Hey! i know that guy!
Yes ya do! <3
Porkchop the driver should be wearing a seat belt. /nuff
Uh- oh ! Do I detect flashing re lights – and the sound of a poloice siren ?YIKES !!!
I can’t believe nobody has said, “Problem?” (Or “U mad bro?”)
