Either I want a dog or I want to drop acid…
July 30, 2008 by Michelle Gartner
I loathe dogs- they smell and they have a funny way of greeting people. When’s the last time a cat sniffed your junk? But ever since I was a kid I wanted a dog because of this commercial.
Actually I don’t want a dog I just want the chuck wagon effect. I suppose I could get the same effect from dropping acid, but that ’s so hit and miss whether or not I would get the little chuck wagons or killer clowns (or killer clowns driving chuck wagons)- not to mention the drive to the seedy part of town.
I guess I’ll just throw back another glass of wine and watch this a few more times. Pour yourself a beer, throw stuff at your dog for me and enjoy!



Funny thing is, those special effects looked so real back then!
They still look good to me- I want a mini chuck wagon rolling through my kitchen to round up my kids- it’s just so cool…
I always liked that commercial too. If a dog or acid are the only two choices, I recommend a dog.
Hey Randall- thanks for dropping by, I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs and the dog thing ain’t happening either…
I still want one of those mini chuck wagons! They look like fun. Of course I want the real miniature men to drive it too though.
ah yesss -real mini men too- I never thought of that… they could serve up mini beans and corn cakes and whiskey. I heard that is all they served in human chuck wagons….
For some reason, this one makes me think of Michelle today, which is why this one is so important for parents.
And it costs a lot to raise a dog… as much as raising a human infant. My ol’ man has a Beagle, and it’s damn noisy.
You need a Chihuahua. You can pretend it’s a noisy cat that bites your ankles.
That’s kind of interesting that you sent the cat drug pics from I can haz cheeseburger… our Key is having piss issues again and as a last resort we are thinking about getting her Prozac from the vet.
We got her second hand- she was a surrender at the shelter. I suspect now they surrendered her for the pissing matches… she is front and back declawed, someone yanked out all her claws and I think that makes them loony, so we are trying to keep her as opposed to giving her up… we’ll see. Maybe she needs drugs??? That was a recommendation we got from the shelter last night- last resort Prozac prescribed for the little pisser.
Wow, that clip brought back memories. I remember loving that commercial when I was a kid, too. Though if something like that ran through my house, the cat would probably freak that someone had stolen his cupboard hiding place.
Is it me or is it strange that the ad never mentions what the “chunks” are?
“Big, juicy chunks.” But of what?
Regardless, I’ll take a mini chuck wagon too!
Dogs are so much better than cats. People think cats are clean because they wash themselves all the time. They aren’t. they’re covered in their own spit.
Um, gross…
Hi Kalilea- I don’t know I think cats would love the chuck wagon to chase. Maybe your chuck wagon could come out of somewhere other then your cat’s hiding place.
Mike- we know what the big juicy chunks are- they are big chunky pieces of horse meat… blarg!
Cadi- Hi thanks for dropping by… the keywords are “they’re covered in their own spit.” That’s okay with me- with dogs one is covered in dog spit… that’s gross to me. At least the cat does not try to place its saliva on me.
