“Holiday Road” by Lyndsay Buckingham

Why did the director of this video go (hard) for a Brazil vibe for a song that has a wacky dog bark at the end of it?

Wow. You just blew my mind.  Sometimes people are very desperate to express their artistic visions but they are handed happy pappy crap to promote… I guess this guy just snapped and had to make the video he always wanted to with an upbeat song about going on holiday.  Perhaps on his director’s reel there was an alternate version of this video set to a different track.

Also, I think if you played a Killers song under this you would think that Lyndsay was that dude from the Killers.

Don’t ever move to Rancho Los Feliz in Atwater/Los Feliz if you like little guys like this.  There are people that own dogs there and sneak them into the community but if you ask management nicely to approve a little pup like the guy above they will decline you and make you pissed as heck.

So I’m talking to optomus prime and he says, “dude you should totally come to earth” you should fly over here and party. Babes be trippin” So I think to myself, you know, I could use a change. So I get over to earth and see this thing, apparently it’s called a “space shuttle” . Wanting to be low profile I totally make myself look like this common vehicle. Oh, I also saw this thing called a “bird”. BRAIN BONER! I will combine the bird and space shuttle, I never really wanted to have arms so I was set.

Now in all seriousness, I had this toy as a child, I was a stupid stupid child, I thought it was rad at some point, but in retrospect, this thing sucks. First off its so unrealistic that even I’m embarrassed. I mean a robotic space shuttle bird, I don’t understand what they are going for here. Also it had a wind up base that would transport it around. Anyone remember how shitty wind up stuff was in the 80’s. Remember those shitty little white knobs, and that plasticy grinding sound it would make. Even a child has enough torque to make sure every wind up toy they will ever have (in the 80’s ) will fucking break. The base turned into a gorilla I believe and would walk around too. But frankly I really hate this article now. I’m stoppingggggggggg
now.

I don’t think they are going for a bird here but rather a dinosaur. In either case you’re right. This is probably one of the lamest 80’s Transformers ever.  If it was a dinosaur it looks to be the body and neck of a Brontosaurus type with a T-Rex head.  Makes no sense.  And then there’s the Gorilla… which wouldn’t really go with a bird or a dinosaur.

When I was about four years old my parents took me to a pet shop in downtown Laguna Beach and let me look at all the animals.  My favorite of course were the puppies and at that particular time there was a litter of German Shepherd/Black Labrador mix.  I think my parents must have been itching to get a dog and wanted me to help pick it out.  My natural instincts led me to the female runt of the litter which I later named Lucky.  I think by the time we ended up going to buy Lucky she was the last one left.  She was the best childhood birthday present a boy could get.  A loyal guard dog who thought herself to be more of a human member of the family than a dog.  We wrestled and went on long adventurous walks and ran through feilds racing each other.  The typical perfect cheeseball man’s best friend relationship.  When I was sad and lonely she’d come hang out in my room.  Whenever I needed a friend Lucky was there.

However, there were a few negative things about Lucky that either developed from a lack of training or the fact that she was a certain breed of dog and that’s just how they tend to be (esp if they aren’t trained properly).  Had my parents had the internet at their fingertips perhaps some good research on dog breeds and how to train them would have been able to prevent Lucky from wanting to attack and kill any other dog she encountered.  They would have been able to train her not escape our yard and get in fights with other people’s friendly dogs.  They may have been able to train her to sit on command or play catch and just relax when other children or dogs were around.

Now as an adult I’m looking forward to finding another doggie best friend some day and I think I’ve found the best website to get my search started.

PETSTEW.COM

To start off PETSTEW.COM has quizes for helping you find the perfect dog for you.  They also have info on every kind of breed you can think up and tons of ways to find a dog to buy or adopt.  Thanks to PETSTEW’S endless dog related resources I’m really looking forward to finding my next man’s best friend.
