OT: JDN- You're a dog person. I had an idea last night:
Every year the average American spends $750 with Blockbuster in late rental fees. Here's the concept: Breeding and training dogs as 'movie return dogs'. Where I live, there are always dogs in and around Blockbuster, in the company of, or waiting for their master or mistress to return. It's just how it is. Dogs get to ride to Blockbuster around here.
I'm thinking- Why aren't we training the dogs to return the movies themselves?
For $10 the local Humane Society injects a microchip into your dog which can be scanned for identification, etc. Just the kind of thing we skittish End Timers would be dialing the ACLU for from our bunkers in ordinary times.
Anyway, I'm thinking, if those chips could be programmed with GPS coordinates, we could not only send our dogs out to return movies to Blockbuster, but to also stop by the bakery on the way home and pick up some cheese danish. Now, my dog *knows I'll share my cheese danish with him, but the idea is for the person on the other side to 'tip' the dog with a woofy reward. Plus, this would all be wonderful exercise for the dogs and enhance their social experience tremendously.
I'm thinkin' - moviereturndog.com. MovieReturnDog.com would be the ultimate site for 'movie return dog' owners, where they could buy training videos, chip programming software, dog mounted cameras and IP dog networking for newbies.
What do *you think?
