Dead Doggy

A game for old owners who don't like to throw, and old dogs who don't like to fetch. Both players settle in their most comfortable spots and whoever gets up first is the loser.

I spent the afternoon playing dead doggy with Oliver, and I won.

dead horse

in the salvage trade a dead horse is something you got for little or nothing because the former owner really wanted to get rid of it. a pallet of computer monitors the bank gave away is a dead horse. the trick is to sell the best parts as horse meat, the not so best parts as dog food,and give the rest away before it starts to stink and you have to pay to dispose of it. making money on dead horses is a skill that takes years to learn.

old computer parts,old computer monitors(disposal costs), paint (disposal costs), anything that you have to pay to get rid of. i got a load of paint for $1 a can. i hope the paint is useable, or that dead horse will really stink.
