totally off the subject . . . but once i was talking to a friend of mine at his bar, as i sat at his bar. we were talking about dogs for some reason, and i told the worst dog i ever owned was a coonhound because of the bark/howling. this black guy turned around so quick and had this look of wanting to kill me. "what did you just say?" i told him that i hated coonhounds. he had never heard of a coonhound, had no clue what one was and thought i was being a racist. funny. i told him that if i hear him order crackers with his soup, i was going to be all up in his shit.
