    It’s not the L. Where I’m from, the vowel sounds are different. Cock - like the O in “box”. Caulk - like “aw”, as in “dawn” (it is worth noting that much of the US has been losing the “aw” sound in that word, so that’s probably why I’m the odd one out).



  • It’s been around for quite a while. Just a generic cutesy thing, I guess.

    I couldn’t tell you how many "Waffles"es I’ve met or known of. Pancake is another popular one. I’ve known a Cornbread, a Brisket, a Tater, a Porkchop, two Tacos (both fat orange cats)…

    A more recent trend seems to be naming pets after Japanese foods. Mochi, Miso, Udon, Soba… Or maybe it’s more of an East Asian food thing because I’ve also known a Wonton, Sesame, Bamboo, Noodle(s). Gohan (Japanese again and may or may not be a food reference).













  • Just the Fallout finale, aside from the various late night shows and random animal videos I put on for the dog.

    It was good. I do wish the season were a little bit longer. Not because I want the story unnecessarily stretched out, but I would enjoy a little more “side quest” type action to be able to enjoy being in the setting more, experiencing the world and its characters more.

    And as a huge fan of his from Twin Peaks, it has been so delightful seeing Kyle McLaughlin in peak form.

    As for the late night shows, there were some fun parts. I like how Stephen Colbert and his writers are pushing back against the administration and their own network as much as they can get away with. Also, I think The Daily Show writers don’t care for Gavin Newsom.

    Oh, and if you’re looking for animal videos, I like We Rate Dogs. Need to find good channels for other critters. The dog loves birds and small mammals. Also donkeys and horses.
