? Then, how do we get dogs? And what happens to the dogs in pet stores
that no one buys?

Adopt one from an animal shelter, or go to a reputable breeder. As to
what happens to the dogs in pet stores, ideally their non-sales would
force pet stores to start buying dogs from competent breeders instead of
puppy mills.

Well, maybe they will, if there's a well-publicized boycott or
something, but the dogs waiting there in the meantime won't be in good
shape.

Incidentally, what's wrong with pet stores, anyway? Is there something
wrong with the dogs there? Honestly, I never heard of anything like
this till I read your .sig...

You know, I own several movies with her in them, and I've always
maintained that she's not that beautiful, but is very, VERY cute. This
movie may be the one that changes my mind, tho...

Nihao! About the only Chinese I know is from Ranma 1/2 ("Hello!" & "I
love you!"), which would be enough, I would hope! Just make sure you
don't make Chris Tucker's mistake in Rush Hour 2! ^__^

Dex,
still upset that they didn't sub half of Zhang's lines in that movie...

When Jackie Chan won't translate his commands to a Chinese crowd, he
just starts spouting some random, Chinese-sounding gibberish. The crowd
just looks shocked, so he asks Jackie:

Chris: What the hell did I just say?
Jackie: You told everyone to pull out their Samurai swords, and shave
your butt!

Yeah, I read in a review that something happens towards the end that
unintentionally had the (western) audience laughing their asses
off...I'm curious to see if I'll be rolling my eyes at them or joining
in...^^

You should try your best to watch "2046" if you haven't already. In this
superb movie from director Wong Kar-Wei, Zhang Ziyi plays a wondeful
role and is incredibly attractive.

Maybe... Though I think you've got to know more if you want anyone to
fall in love with your awkward-but-cute-or-at-least-intriguing western
accent. :)

Oh dear, I can't really remember that movie. What was that mistake again?

Okay, that convinced me. I think I'll take another year of chinese
lessons before trying to talk to miss Zhang Ziyi. The risks are just too
high at the moment. ;)

You know, there was a time when it was considered a mark of honor for
the sons of a family to serve in the military-- even families of wealth
and privilege, and ESPECIALLY families with political connections.

Then again, if I'd been born eight years later, I'm not sure I'd want
to enlist *today* either. It's not the same military today as it was
when I joined.
