Dog Eat Dog World
Okay. I was watching TV and talking with Becky when I heard this saying: "It's a dog eat dog world." I have one word, five syllables for the stupid person in the ditch that thought it up: what-is-up-with-that?????
Dog eat dog world? Come on now, dogs do not eat dogs. Duh. It's not like you walk down the street and see the neighborhood dogs eating each other after fighting over a bone. Come on now. Think. Use you're heads!
Yea why can't people say "It's a human eat animal world"?? For the most part, it's us who eat animals! They are like helpless animals and we are powerful, humans, driven by our stomachs! There are the people who are "vegetarians" (Pfft, we all know they just don't want to eat the food you make and the second they get home they are firing up the grill and roasting a T-Bone steak) so naturally they don't eat the animals. But I mean, what does the average american family have every night for food? Chicken (haha Becky) and steak and ham and bacon and shit like that. Come on now.
So now, from now on, the new sayin is "It's a Human Eat Animal World". Duh.

Someone has obviously forgotten that homo sapiens are animals as well as dogs. So, the correct saying might be "It's an Animal Eat Animal World". Which it is. We could even broaden the scope if we'd like, to extreme and boring lengths like "It's an Organism Saps Energy From Organism World". But we won't go there today. Personally, I prefer the phrase (cue music) "It's a Small World..."

thats my new symbol =P

Woa now. If the people in Acopulco could actually stop and think for more than two seconds, a brick would hit them in the head (from out of no where) and it would occur to them that maybe they could eat the dogs?! WOA! What a concept... They used to do that in the revolutionary times, so why not now? Third world countries are obviously not known well enough for their lack of brains...
Second off, Eastman, stop. Stop right there. Take a moment to allow the brick to hit you in the head and think "Wow why can't I just take a minute and think hmm, this makes sense!"
Yes, humans are classified as Animcals, but come on now. Tell me one person who doesn't honestly think that as a human, they are far superior to any other living being on this planet. Not even lions. Think about it. Lions, shotgun. Lions get killed by shotguns. Humans win. Lions can't use shotguns.
SO there.

lion = animal and if shotgun > lion and shotgun > human than human = animal
whoa ok enough stretching the brain!
By the way this whole entry gave me a craving for steak and it's not steak season so I had to settle for grilled cheese...

You are correct in saying that dogs don't eat dogs and as a matter of fact that it was the saying originally stated. According to Christine Ammer's great book "Cool Cats and Top Dogs (and Other Beastly Expressions)" published by Houghton Mifflin in 1999, the proverb you've misplaced was most likely from the Roman man of letters Marcus Tarentius Varro. Back in 43 B.C., ol' Marcus noted that "Canis caninam non est" ("Dog does not eat dog"), meaning that even a (supposedly) lowly creature like the dog has limits, if not principles, and will not destroy its own kind.
Extended to human beings by implication, that's a comforting notion, but history tends to indicate that humans are not so principled as dogs. By the 16th century, folks were imagining a world in which metaphorical dogs did devour each other, and "dog eat dog," had come to mean "ruthlessly competitive." Not surprisingly, by the time of the Industrial Revolution, phrases such as "It's a dog eat dog world" had become commonplace.

Yea, I personally think you all went too far into what I was trying to say. So to the person who like reasearched the history of it, get a life! LoL, and if you think you already have one of those, get a girlfriend/boyfriend (whichever way you swing).
