If you owned a Komondor, what would you have?
You would own a large white dog with dreadlocks. The Komondor, like its smaller cousin the Puli, originated in Hungary and was used as a sheepdog, and is covered in long "cords". (The Komondor is not, however, the dog used in the Budweiser "Rastafarian dog" commercial -- that's a Puli. Komondors are larger -- males can be over eighty pounds -- and white.) It looks something like a walking rag mop, and wins my personal award for coolest looking dog on the planet. The cords start forming around eight to twelve monnths and continue to form for the rest of the dog's life.

I wouldnt' have gotten that one without the doggie book Allegra used to (might still?) have. Ten different doggies, making a pyramid of dogs one by one. Last page is the whole pyramid collapsing to go chase the "photographer"--a cat! Cute book.

I was very impressed, as was my sister, who asked him, "Are you omniscient?" He replied, "What does that mean?" and my sister said, "Guess not."
We explained what omniscient meant, and he replied, "I'm half-nicient."
So, just so you know, there's someone out there, he must be ten or so by now, who knows half the things in the universe. So, if there's ever something you need to know, and you have no other way of discovering it, you can look him up and ask, and he's got an even chance of knowing it.

I'm so relieved that a Komondor wasn't what I thought it sounded like. I thought it would be a cross between a Komodo dragon and a Condor, cooked up in a secret volcano hideout by deranged Esquimeax (or do you say eskimo? Inuit?). The result would be a birdlike, giant flying carnivore that would swarm like locust over populations picking up grown men in their talons. As powerful as Quetzlcoatl but not nearly so benevolent. A cold blooded beast so lethal that eventually it would destroy the whole world, except y'know like Alaska, Minnesota, My former office. Places where it would be too cold for it to survive. In this world gone mad, we don't drain the lizard, the Lizard Drains US!!!!!
On the flipside, you could make a really swank pair of cowboy boots out of them.
