5. Ever read that book "The Phantom Tollbooth?"
There was a dog who had a giant clock on his body and he was called "Tock." That is not Tock.

11. actually...
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 12:10 AM by adsosletter
my daughter did take some pics of the washing-down process (i qt. Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1 tablespoon liquid soap).

It happened around midnight; we were all still up talkin' cause the oldest is home from med-school for 3 weeks. It was royally hot, which is why the doors and windows were open, to catch the evening "breeze"...which turned into a chemical attack.

Backyard, and dog, really reeked.

And, because the winds shifted the next day to cover us with smoke from the fires burning about 1 mile from here...it just turned into a wonderful thing...

Definitely reminiscent of a chemical battlefield without the shooting.

My kingdom for a Protective mask... :D

19. I loved it when I was a kid.
I liked the live action version too with the dude who played Puddy on Seinfeld as The Tick.

13. In the first shot "the tick" has something akin to a Zen-like aura...
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 12:10 AM by adsosletter
a malevolent Zen, to be sure...
