Birdie, Videogum’s Mascot, has been on a real tear lately, both literally and figuratively. Literally in the sense that she has literally been destroying things with her teeth. Yesterday, she ruined a pair of gloves and two days ago she chewed up the toggle of a coat (although in her defense, the toggle was VERY similar to a stick, and the rules don’t say anything about sticks). More figuratively speaking, she has been on a tear here and here and now here. (She would like to be on a tear here, too, but that seems to have died out. What’s wrong, Street Team? Were the streets closed?) In any case, this calls for a celebration. But what would a party be without a game?! (NORMAL QUESTION PEOPLE ASK ALL THE TIME AT PARTIES.) Oh, wait, I’ve got one and it is even TOPICALLY RELEVANT. Birdie Movie Quotes.

  • “THIS. IS. PETSMARRRT!”
  • “Nobody puts Birdie in the kennel.”
  • “I love the smell of everything in the morning.”
  • “It’s people. Pedigree is made of people.”
  • “Follow me if you want to nap.”

Good game. It’s like fetch, but for humans, and with words, and not at all like fetch. Go play. Run.

  62. You had me at — CAR!

    • You had me at W-A-L-K

    • damn, i didn’t read any of these before i responded and now my post looks like a plagiarist comment…

      before i’m stoned to death for crimes against originality, i submit to the monstership that lawblog has a SECRET TIME MACHINE which he used to go forward in time three minutes, look at my independently arrived upon comment, realize it was super hilarious, then go BACK in time three minutes and make a comment in the same vein before i actually did it. totally what happened, just for the record.

      • You caught me! You forgot the part about how I went back and killed Hitler, though. Remember the first rule of time travel:

        A.B.K.H

        Always Be KIlling Hitler

        • Second rule: A.S.B.L
          Always Be Saving Lincoln

        • naturally, i imagined everyone who read my comment would just assume that that was the first order of business when it comes to time travel, but i totally feel bad for not giving credit where credit’s due. can’t believe i completely overlooked the first rule of commenting on secret time travelers: A.B.G.C.W.C.I.D.W.C.O.T.T.W.K.H.

          Always Be Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due When Commenting On Time Travelers Who Killed Hitler

          such a stupid mistake, so embarrassed!

          • Dang, I can’t BELIEVE how embarrassing my 3 comments are in this exchange between me, chris, lawblog, and FLW. I’m going to travel back in time and not say all 3 things.

          • oh man, after being legitimately confused for SEVERAL minutes (read: stupid), i finally got your post and realized that it was the superbest.

  63. Great pate’, roommate, but I gotta motor if I’m going to be ready for the dog park.

  64. “I’m just a dog… standing in front of a roommate… asking him to walk her.”

  65. Sticks. Why’d it have to be sticks?

  66. I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for money, I can tell you I don’t know what that is. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very short life as a dog. Skills that make me adorable to people like you. If you don’t let that ball go now, that will be the end of it. I won’t go look for it, I won’t pursue it. I’ll go over there and mope. But if you do, I will look for it, I will find it, and I will bring it right back here.

  67. rosebu- SQUIRREL!

  68. BARKING, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT!?

  69. “I’ve barked at things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack bones on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched biscuits glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser dog run gate. All those moments will be lost in time like farts while eating. Time to nap.”

  70. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every dog park, dog park, dog park, dog park, dog park, dog park and dog park in that area.

  79. I didn’t chew enough… i could’ve chewed more… this car, why didn’t i chew this car, i should have chewed this car!… this pin… perfect to chew… at least two good chews… this pin is gold!… i could’ve chewed this pin…! WHY DIDN’T I CHEW THIS PIN!?…. I COULD’VE CHEWED MORE!!…. *howls*

  80. I grow tired of asking this, so it is the last time: where are the kibbles kibbles and bits?

  81. “Take your stinkin’ paws off me, you damn dirty human.”

  88. “You want the stick? You can’t handle the stick!” #WarOnSticks <–always and forever

  89. dude, where’s my kong?

  90. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is “never get involved in a turf war in a dog park” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Shiba Inu when treats are on the line”! Bark bark bark bark bark bark!

  91. Get away from her, you bitch!

  92. “I have come here to chew sticks and kick ass. And I’m all out of sticks.”

  95. CAN….YOU…CHEW IT?!

    or

    Birdie pup….COME OUT AND PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  96. Kynette: Time to kill a mountain man. It amazes me, in this day and age, when a man would put money before the personal safety of himself and his bitch. I wanted you to go to your grave knowing that I’m going to treat Birdie… right!
    [Gabe suddenly grabs Kynette by the crotch and chest and impales him on a large stalactite]

  97. Check it out. Chico, Layla & Forrest, ‘Hachi: A Dog’s Tale,’ look like Birdie, act like Birdie, not Birdie. Chewed on stuff, licked Richard Gere’s face. Cute, sho’. Not Birdie. You know Jed, ‘White Fang.’ Cute, yes. Chews on things, maybe. Wears a harness. But he charmed the pants off Jack and was also in John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing.’ That ain’t Birdie. Fly, Don Juan, Floyd, Speedy, Nando, Buck, Koda & Gloria, “Snow Dogs.” Infantile, yes. Birdie, no. You went full Birdie, man. Never go full Birdie.

    (I am not at all doing this right, am I?)

  98. “I’ve got a lap feeling about this”

  99. You licking at me? I don’t sniff anyone else around so you must be licking at me…
