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.

beat like a dog

who can't read music. To be held to a standard you know nothing about or is impossible to meet, and to be constantly punished for not meeting that standard. A form of spouse abuse. The abuser uses Mr or Ms Wonderful as their standard, and average isn't good enough. A sign that a marriage is terminal.

I'm being beat like a dog who can't read music, and I don't know how much more I can take.

frash

Trash that some one puts on craigslist's free entry so they won't have to pay to get rid of it. Free trash. A couch that stinks of cat piss is frash.

If a listing on Cl is more than 2 hours old the item is usually frash.

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.

custom

1. A well thought out, and designed project using the finest parts, and workmanship. 2. A cobbled together piece of junk using what trash you could get for nothing. Custom is in the eye or the stupidity of the beholder.

You can't polish a turd, but you can spray paint it gold, and call it custom.
