There really should have been a Dalmatian pic in this Post! I shall leave it to you to explain that to your loyal and friendly and inquisitive readers. 🙂
Just so everyone knows, today’s 6 word story was essentially plagiarism. Just examine the following evidence:
Exhibit A: This morning I sent Carolyn an email that said, “GML! How’s my favorite Dalmatian? I hope you don’t have a ruff day! Have a yippy day instead! 😉 Luvya! (P.S. — “See Spot run”)”
Exhibit B: After the aforementioned email, Carolyn sent me this text: “Ha ha! I tried to twist your smart email around this morning for my 6 word story. ..but thinking I made a mistake. Was too early for me to think of someone else being “witty’ about commenting on it! 😛 love you!”
I rest my case.
Now, perhaps y’all are curious enough to petition Carolyn to share the picture (mentioned above by Colin) that prompted these comments. 😉
Thank you for your nice comment 🙂 I knew you were smart enough to know what a Dalmatian looks like, kinda sad that my hubby and Colin are doubting my readers knowledge, eh? 🙂
Hmmm….seems as if my dear readers already know what a Dalmatian looks like! See the comments below!
And as far as the “plagarism” goes…..yeah… no comment! But I like to call it just being smart 🙂 I don’t know maybe the word Outsmarting is more like it!
I do hope you like the nice selection of places to sleep that were listed in the comments below as well my dear 🙂
Doesn’t plagiarism have to do with coping published works? I’m not sure a private email or text from one person to another falls under published works. Did I miss something, did he post a blog, or publish an article that you copied?
You are exactly right Becky, nope you didn’t miss anything at all! Just Ssh! You are showing that you are more brilliant than him, and well perhaps Colin to. They may not like that 🙂 I have a strong suspicion that Colin suggested he write about the plagarism!
Wow, since you two don’t quite grasp what plagiarism is, allow me to post the definition:
“an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author’s work as one’s own, as by not crediting the original author”
Here is a quote directly from the University of Oxford’s website:
“Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published AND UNPUBLISHED material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition.”
Well I think so. I posted a pic of a cute dalmatian and you go crazy; I advise you of a potential legal issue and you don’t respond. Ameena makes a perfectly logical and intelligent comment and she gets a threat; Brad explains things very well and gets ostracized. I even have an email where you are questioning your own children! I think I can conclude that you are nuts!
Brad really does seem to like the doghouse, maybe that’s why he’s so obsessed with wanting a picture of a dalmatian. I for one know what a dalmatian is and don’t need to see a picture as my brother had one when we were growing up and I’m sure plenty of us have seen 101 Dalmatians. If not there is Google, Netflix, Bing, etc to look up dalmatians or the aforementioned movie.
A doghouse would be an appropriate place for a Dalmatian to sleep, and seeing that we now have a Dalmatian in the family, perhaps we can make those arrangements for her. 😉
Where oh where is that new button?? I really have to make it available so I can use it on certain people…just saying!!!
Go to Google or go to pinterest and type in sleeping Dalmatians and I am sure you will get some nice pictures 🙂
Maybe I should give you his email address so you could send a lot of Dalmatian pictures his way to help him out. Perhaps Colin’s as well, for he obviously doesn’t know what a Dalmatian looks like either due to wanting to see one so badly. Who knows maybe they don’t have them in Canada, eh? 🙂
Oh dear – I know exactly what a Dalmation looks like. In fact, I have a pic of one here that perhaps you would like me to Post? I mean, it would be unfair to me if your readers thought that I had no clue about them, and you obviously wouldn’t want your readers to be misinformed by your Blog would you? Just let me know!
You know, I don’t see what all the fuss is about – I think that picture is super cute! 🙂 Those snapchat filters are all the rage these days, so really it just means you’re with the times (whether you intended to be or not – just embrace it!). I really think you have the better attitude to just go with it and own it!
It’s those who feel the need to post the same link 9 times (in just one post) that kinda make the whole thing awkward. Seems like one of those “thou do protesteth too much” situations…
Hmmm..Becky, .what is that line he quoted yesterday to Brad? When Brad was replying back about the plagarizing. OH yes, I know it now, “Oh Brad… be nice to them, they can’t help it if they make wild and ridiculous statements.” Sooooo….to Meredith and Becky : “Oh be nice to Colin…he can’t help if he makes wild and ridiculous statements…He can’t help if he repeats things.. He is OLDer than us you know, so you got to give him a little leeway for when he may repeat things like posting the same picture many times.”
Oh yes, life is good! LOL! I will at least enjoy the “short-lived” pleasure I am sure, of making a good statement 🙂
Indeed it is a cute picture. I’m still baffled as to why she was soooooooooooo embarrassed by it. I had it as the desktop background on our computer for a few days and she constantly begged me to change it (since she apparently doesn’t know how to do that). 😉
Hi Brad – I am also baffled. I post cute pictures of her (and cute was confirmed by her friends). and yet she sends me “colorful” emails making all kinds of veiled threats as to what is going to happen to the man-servant in the Dewey stories! If you can figure that one out, please let me know AND, just for the record, I had written permission from the owner of the pic to publish it!
She is a rather impulsive person isn’t she but then, a few of her friends do seem to encourage her by supporting her in these impulsive moments. Some friends eh!
Yes, I know I baffle you as well my friend! OH Gosh,, yes I did send such “dang”, “freaking”, “colorful” emails to you didn’t I. As for the “threats” made, oh trust me they weren’t threats my friend, they were promises. It wasn’t only threats that cause things to occur to the man-servant in my Dewey stories. No, a little more REAL then that, just saying…. 🙂
I counted one, two, three… And then lost count of the links that were calling to me to click on them. I gave in, clicked and saw the cutest picture ever! (P,S joy, I am not just saying this so Odessa doesn’t get stuck in a tree again).
And Someone once told me, stealing from family is not “stealing”, so, I think it applies to this as well. 😄
Yes, I know what you mean about losing count, though I was blaming my losing count because of taking time to bang my head after each one. LOL!
Oh aren’t you dear saying the cutest picture ever…. Ha Ha about Odessa! I believe you! 🙂 Yeah and when family just forwards it right to you, what is the person supposed ot do, right? LOL!
NO that wasn’t supposed to be your answer Ameena, Ha Ha! Though I am sure Colin will appreciate your answer 🙂 “perfectly justified action”….. What was that you said, about not wanting to be stuck in a tree again?? 🙂 just saying…
Cute pup indeed ….. and who’s permission did you not get to publish it? Got to be careful’ cos there really are people who will file a lawsuit in such cases.
Hey Ameena, you can’t do that! If you cross over to his side, you could meet worse luck than being stuck in a tree! LOL! He is not exactly in good standing right now….. just saying 🙂
