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.

Is that the kind of pooch thats on the cover of ODELAY by Beck? or is that really a mop?

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.

hee hee. And the meat would probably taste like chicken.
