Some of you might have surmised I was away from The Compound for a few days. Just thought I’d show you what happens when I’m away.
I kid. Friends of Lynne had a friend who asked them to save bottle caps but never retrieved them, so they donated them to me. I think I’m gonna need a bigger canvas.
Spoke to Marika briefly today while she was in the Egyptian part of a cemetery she was exploring. Later, I was looking at her photos and saw this guy:
Photo copyright Marika!
I was so excited that I wanted to show her my own little Egyptian guard dog, photographing him with a doll to provide scale.
Tim and I have been trying to remember if he gave me this dog, or if someone else did, or if I gave it to myself. Regardless, that is one of his paintings providing the backdrop.
Oh Becks, JACKALS! not dogs – JACKALS! And while I can’t solve the mystery of who gave you the JACKAL I can tell you, that it is a replica of a statue of the god Anubis that was discovered in the tomb of King Tut, who as we all know, gave his life for tourism. The dress with boots … all sorts of awesome. I love the look … and may I add, someone loves Corona !

Except for MY grammar. You should never EVER pay attention to my grammar.
Dude–your very link calls him a “jackal-like dog.” And other sources say, for example, “…to the Egyptians there was not a great deal of difference between the two canines, so there is some confusion over which animal Anubis actually was. The animal is sometimes referred to as the ‘Anubis animal’ as it is unknown which exact species of canine that Anubis actually was based on.”
So calm down. You say jackal, I say dog, either way, it’s a tomb canine.
What about Carlos the Jackal? He is not known as Carlos the jackal like dog. Bring it!
PS. I hate it when I get hoisted on my own petard.
It appears the education was mine … Touche’
Well, I didn’t know who Carlos the Jackal is. You are my go-to person if I ever need info on serial killers and their ilk through the centuries. You’re kind of twisted, but you do have a speciality.
he was like the most wanted terrorist in the world in the 70’s — he wasn’t arrested till 1994.
In my Happy Land of Unicorns and Rainbows, there are NO FREAKING TERRORISTS OR SERIAL KILLERS.
La la la la…
How about terrorist serial killing unicorns that slash rainbow’s with their mighty horns?
So … you don’t want to go see Fright Night with me on Friday?
That’s a sure bet.
