Yet One More Great Pop Quiz Answer
First, to remind everyone of the question again, based on a recent contest at Fenway Park, now slowly fading, too slowly, into the past:
What do Ty Cobb (lifetime B.A. .366) and George Sisler (lifetime B.A. .340) have in common with Chris Davis (lifetime B.A. .255) and Darnell McDonald (lifetime B.A. .247)?
And here’s an answer from Patricia Kirkwood:
All were winners and losers…
I don’t want to be a loser — I want to be a WINNER! of The Dog Who Knew Too Much…
Please and Thank you!

Hey! I’m first today.
Good Morning All.
9:11 am on May 15th, 2012
Doesn’t the winner receive A Fistful of Collars?
Hey Bear!
Good morning all.
9:24 am on May 15th, 2012
I just looked it up and the winner receives Dog Who.
So….Natasha caught the bride’s bouquet. SH–Look out!
9:26 am on May 15th, 2012
Hi, B! Hmm…wasn’t the prize was The Dog Who, since AFOC hasn’t been published yet? (never mind…you already said that)
Yes, that is somewhat alarming news for Siber-H.
Elliot is up top!
9:32 am on May 15th, 2012
Good Morning Bear and B!
I think Natasha is humming this song right now…..
Goin’ to the chapel and we’re
Gonna get married
9:36 am on May 15th, 2012
Good morning, all.
The answer yesterday about Batters, sounded like Sammy could have written it. Does anyone know who Chris is? Any relation to Sammy?
Nice day today, here in northwestern Illinois.
One of our flowering crab trees now has most of its leaves turning yellow and falling off. Grrrr! Dam chemicals

Barb!…Why don’t you sell your house and move?…snort!…OH! never mind…sniff!

Patricia!…Kirkwood!…snort!…Here is a photo of her.
10:05 am on May 15th, 2012
Crap!…The Rockies can’t win a game to save their souls…grump!
10:14 am on May 15th, 2012
MagPie, you think I don’t know about batters? Huh, huh? Well, my Mommy makes the best batters and pancakes and waffles and stuff.
10:27 am on May 15th, 2012
Rio, What a great idea! Barb says she will put the house on the market immediately!
Sammy, the kind of batter you are talking about is the kind we like!
10:44 am on May 15th, 2012
I’m slowly catching up. Good morning!
Got a quick word that the Happy Couple are at the place! The flight went well, and the place is awesome. I hope not to hear anything else for a week.
I seemed to have gotten a LOT of photos over the weekend. Hmmm, Thanks??
Will see what I can do. Today it is supposed to pour and I’m thinking of turning on the electrical fire and using a heating pad and reading. Zoe has already forbidden me to go out tomorrow. She says I look terrible. I think she just got used to me with make up on! snicker
Two more pics ( I didn’t take them ) First is the pocket watch that I gave Rob as a present. (HE USED IT)
10:45 am on May 15th, 2012

Oh, Boy. Natty may be in for a Big Disappointment. The last we heard a certain Sibe was headed North to Alaska.
10:57 am on May 15th, 2012
Second is the real cake and the gluten free cake that I took down is the smaller one on the right.
funny thing about that. One of my new in-law’s friends, a baker who had backed dozens and dozens of cookies, could not understand how anyone could cook without white flour. So I told her to taste the cake. At that time I was the only one that had had a piece.
She loved it! Everyone from her table, our table and the table on the other side of us, got up and was getting the gluten free cake. I had to send one of the cousins to find YSAS to make sure he got cake.
He went to the front of the line and said, “Hey! this cake was made for me, I get to jump the line!” That’s my boy.
the baker kept trying to get me to tell her how the baker made the cake. Truth be told I have no idea. I finally said it was “love” that made it so good.
11:04 am on May 15th, 2012
We now see what amuses Admin.
Melanie: Love Rob’s pocket watch and the photo of the happy couple!
Mom is off to the market. Later y’all.
11:06 am on May 15th, 2012
CAKE!…I love cake! Cookies too!…Love!love!love! them!…snort!…What a great photo! Of CAKE!…woooo!
11:19 am on May 15th, 2012
Something we have in common, Rio. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cake and cookies. YUM, YUM, eat ’em up.
11:21 am on May 15th, 2012
Me three. LOVE cake!
11:23 am on May 15th, 2012
(of course, as you all know, my favorite things are anything edible)
11:27 am on May 15th, 2012
North to Alaska!
We are going North to Alaska!
Whitey-Lance says I can bunk with him out on the glacier. I’ll be nice to the tourists. I just got called an Alaskan Husky the other day anyway.
Welcome back, Melanie and thanks for more great photos. Love the pocket watch and the cake was very tasty. Rest now.
We love those funny answers to the pop quiz. Our favorite is still Christines.
Who is Patricia Kirkwood?
11:29 am on May 15th, 2012
I love this conclusion to a review in the Guardian of Penelope Lively’s new novel, How It All Started:
“In other words [the characters’ stories] momentarily collide and separate to form the kind of narrative at which Lively excells: the untidy, unpredictable one in which everyone lives ambivalently ever after.”
(I included her novel Moon Tiger when I taught Modern Lit. It is excellent.)
11:31 am on May 15th, 2012
Melanie, the watch is beautiful, and of course so is the wedding couple. Where is the place? We promise not to go there and disturb them. Let’s make a game out of it. Can you give us a hint? Does it have sandy beaches? Did they have to fly there?
11:34 am on May 15th, 2012
Rio, Tulo was injured in last night’s game…a line drive foul ball off of Fowler’s bat. Nothing was broken, but Tulo’s appearance in the lineup will be “day to day”. sob
Timmy is pitching tonight for the Giants.
11:35 am on May 15th, 2012
Barb&Magpie: Good Luck in getting that secret information out of Melanie!
11:37 am on May 15th, 2012
Tulo!…He hasn’t been doing that much lately anyways…grump!…Let him sit out and chew on sunflower seeds to think about it…grumble!
11:37 am on May 15th, 2012
Masquers: What amuses Admin?
Lovely pictures. Welcome back Melanie.
Natasha: You can wear whatever color of nail polish you wish. I think red would be lovely with your white bridal dress. (SH? Heh!)
11:43 am on May 15th, 2012
I wonder if they have satellite tv out on the glacier so I can watch baseball games. Oh well, I may just have to rough it.
11:54 am on May 15th, 2012
Hello all. We like Patricia Kirkwood’s answer.
Melanie, those pictures are beautiful. We are so happy that you had such a great weekend!
Siber, are you really taking yourself off the market? The Hot One is not happy about that, but her protogee’ just asks if she can be the Flowe Girl.
12:15 pm on May 15th, 2012
Fellow Sibers, I was never on the market.
2:12 pm on May 15th, 2012
Market! I’m back from it (or rather Mom is)
Siber: Don’t forget your satellite phone. You’ll need it up there on the glacier.
B: Even though not his choice for the winning answer, Admin seems to favor the short, witty replies to the pop quiz.
2:27 pm on May 15th, 2012
Good luck Siber-H. Hope you have enough footing on the ice to scamper away. snicker
Up from my second nap. I might make a career in taking naps. Patsy is keeping an eye on me at all times. If I go near the door she is right there with me. We have not gone anywhere today by car. Zoe won’t let me drive. But we made our way down to the river, where she splished, splashed and took a bath. I stayed on the sand.
Speaking of sand. There might be something like that where they are. I do know that Siber-H won’t see them.
2:31 pm on May 15th, 2012
Curses, foiled again! The last post said Thank you for your comment, but did not show up.
MollyPop’s Mom, Didn’t you have this same issue with Dogwork links a while back?
Not even the courtesy of a moderation – Grump.
2:33 pm on May 15th, 2012
Maskers!…That is true, but the one he chose as the winner was long and full of facts…sniff!…I don’t remember it being witty…grunt!
2:34 pm on May 15th, 2012
The newleyweds should have come here to visit. We have an unlimited amount of sand, but no water to go with it.
2:39 pm on May 15th, 2012
Masquers – If the web site you enter then disappears, retype it in multiple words with the word ‘dot’ in between. Like dog work dot com.
2:44 pm on May 15th, 2012
Melanie: I see Patsy is speaking to you once again. We will never understand why you go away and do not take us with you. As Patsy can tell you, 4 days is a long time. They always say: Dogs don’t have a sense of Time. I beg to differ. We know when you have been away for hours and days (and Dog Forbid – weeks). And, as our beloved Gramps used to say: Who are “they” anyway?
2:49 pm on May 15th, 2012

I am back, and much chagrined. I’ve been “bad dogged” to no end, and have learned my lesson.
Here is a picture from mom’s vaca, called “3 Marys”
3:07 pm on May 15th, 2012
Maskers!…heh!snort!heh!…Give it up pal!

And a picture from before my time, when mom “quilted”. She is not in the picture, because she took it.
3:12 pm on May 15th, 2012
Heh!
3:17 pm on May 15th, 2012
Welcome back, Macy! We missed you.
3:35 pm on May 15th, 2012
Maskers!…I think you just got lucky…chuffle!
3:38 pm on May 15th, 2012
Rio, I think you’re right!
4:01 pm on May 15th, 2012
MACY!! I can not believe you were “bad-dogged”. Your Marys look great. So does the quilt.
Here’s another photo from the professional photographer. This is of the wedding party.
http://www.inkuphoto.com/2012/05/14/andrea-rob
4:03 pm on May 15th, 2012
good job Masquers. I am impressed with your determination.
Off to Quilting tonight and then to Quilt Market in Kansas City tomorrow. Any Plunderers near KC?
4:10 pm on May 15th, 2012
Melanie, your photographer was terrific! He definitely took photos that are unique and original!!!
4:14 pm on May 15th, 2012
Photo!…That is a very unique and awesome photo…snort!…Doesn’t Clarkson look great innit? I wanted to leave a comment right under his comment but someone beat me to it…grunt!
4:21 pm on May 15th, 2012
I think it’s funny that both my guys have their left eyebrow lifted. snort!
Time to veg (as if taking naps was not enough).
Going to watch some TV.
4:32 pm on May 15th, 2012
Love, love the picture of the wedding party. Now serious question – Melanie, could you walk in those s*h*o*e*s? Barb says she definitely could not.
Baye, our almost teenager, started C & B the other day. She told Kelly she wasn’t quite getting it because Chet would be on one subject then all of a sudden he would start talking about cheetos or bacon. Kelly explained that is because he is a dog, and dogs get distracted. She is now 100 pages into it and loving it.
Rio, we know you are a big Kevin Spacey fan. Barb got a movie from Netflix called Casino Jack. It is supposed to be based on the true life story of political lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who defrauded the Native Americals of millions. Have you seen it? We are hoping it is a realistic depiction of the facts.
4:36 pm on May 15th, 2012
We just wrote a long post and got a thank you, but now it isn’t there. Maybe it will show up. We mentioned those things on your feet, but put a * in between the letters. Still missing, will see if it shows up.
4:37 pm on May 15th, 2012
Melanie: Wow! That is a beautiful picture!
4:40 pm on May 15th, 2012
B&M: Same thing happened here…a thank you, but no cigar. (and don’t hold your breath waiting for it to show up)
4:59 pm on May 15th, 2012
Melanie, as others have said, that wedding party photo is stinnung and unique.
Masquers, how did you ever ger that dogworks link to post?
5:04 pm on May 15th, 2012
Spacey!…No! We have not seen that one yet for some odd reason..grunt!…We listened to his interview last year on NPR before it came out and then someone here forgot about it…sniff!…If it is on netflix she will order it pronto…heh!heh!
5:14 pm on May 15th, 2012
Siber – is so sveet you look for nice snowy place for honeymoon. Alaska is very nice. This time ve vill not be running vith sled – ve can just be curled up in nice lodge vith big fireplace. How romantic you are.
Miss Melanie – is maybe you give us vay to contact photographer from OTAS vedding? Is very beautiful picture – ve can just imagine the vedding party ve vill have.
Must start thinking of colors for vedding. And caterer. And flowers. Oh – so much to be done…
5:21 pm on May 15th, 2012
Barb&Magpie: We did see Casino Jack, but it was a long time ago. The details have faded. I do like Kevin Spacey.
5:22 pm on May 15th, 2012

Natasha, vorld’s greatest spy: Pretty please can I be your Flower Girl.? My mom does not have very many kinds of flowers here, but I found all of the ones I tried to be delish. I so badly want to try some more.
5:23 pm on May 15th, 2012
(forgot how the Moderator feels about gamboling)
5:37 pm on May 15th, 2012
Bear, The movie just came out in 2010. Are you sure that is the one you are thinking of? We like historical dramas, so will let you know tomorrow, if we do indeed watch it tonight.
We also order the J. Edgar one. He was an interesting character.
Nattie, can I be in the wedding? Maybe one of your attendants?
Who will be your maid of honor, hint, hint.
5:39 pm on May 15th, 2012
I’m outta here.
Kat, you need to grow up to be a great Siber girl…not a flower child.
5:44 pm on May 15th, 2012
Macy, Are those all pictures of you on the quilt?
Howlers: Kat only knows why the third time was a charm. I think it was MM’s advice to try a different tactic that finally did the trick.
After all that, it’s time to find a sunny spot on the deck to take my afternoon nap. BBL
6:06 pm on May 15th, 2012
Dear Natasha,
The wedding photographer’s email is siberhbetterrun@ddd.com
6:09 pm on May 15th, 2012
LOL
6:41 pm on May 15th, 2012
Macy and Melanie, Thank you for the photos.
We just had a double rainbow! Almost never see that.
6:49 pm on May 15th, 2012
Ve think baby Kat vill be adorable as Flower Pup. Of course ve vould like all 4 legged Plunderers to be in vedding party. But dear Belle Starr – no pink! Vill clash vith Blazing Scarlet nail polish.
Ve are thinking slate blue vith silver. Vill be good colors for handsome groom , and should be attractive on all Dogs and Kats of blog. Yes – ve vill can’t Kats in vedding party. Even Rio
6:52 pm on May 15th, 2012
excuse slip of paw. Should say ve vill HAVE Kats in vedding party
7:35 pm on May 15th, 2012
Masquers, the quilt squares are teacups. We each appliqued 5 or more and then put them together.
7:36 pm on May 15th, 2012
Well, not ME personally…
8:27 pm on May 15th, 2012
I don’t want Kats in the vedding party. If Abbie is there she might accidentally sit on me. I’d be smushed.
8:45 pm on May 15th, 2012
There isn’t going to be a vedding. Natasha has her duty to the Motherland…duty and honor come first and Natasha is the vorld’s best spy.
8:56 pm on May 15th, 2012
Aww come on Siber. Be a sport. This could be my only chance to taste new exotic flowers. And MamaMeash says she is offering to apply makeup on the bride and all the rest of the vedding party.
8:57 pm on May 15th, 2012
Nice try, SiberH.
9:16 pm on May 15th, 2012
Siber – is ok. Ve have gotten special dispensation from Kremlin. They vant Vorld’s Best Undercover Spy to be happy.
So do not vorry, my dear. Ve can go ahead vith plans.
Is there date you vant to hold vedding?
9:30 pm on May 15th, 2012
GASP
Kat, Stop eating flowers.
9:31 pm on May 15th, 2012
Wookie! Rio! HELP!!!!!
9:39 pm on May 15th, 2012
MACY, WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO TO MAKE YOU A BAD DOGGIE????
9:58 pm on May 15th, 2012
Hi Wolfie, how the heck are ya? Is Mary still vacationing?
I think I know why Macy was a bad dog. It had something to do with the Royal’s Mum, and how to get a peek at her. Heh!
We are going back to finish up Casino Jack and will report in tomorrow. Those people in Washington sure know how to spend money and how to swear!
Night all.
10:01 pm on May 15th, 2012
Please!…Don’t Eat The Daisies!….snorkel!
Wolfie!…If I told you then I’d be Bad Dogged too…grunt!
10:01 pm on May 15th, 2012
SiberH. You may be on your own. Rio and I have an important engagement watching the Colorado Rockies. Wookie
10:03 pm on May 15th, 2012
SiberH!…I’ve never been chased by a World Class Spy before so I don’t know what to tell you except RUN!!…heh!heh!…Run for your life and your freedom!…sniff!…You can come here and Beau and I will hide you…snort!
10:04 pm on May 15th, 2012
Game!…But as Wookie says we will be downstairs watching the game and may not hear you at the back door…wuffle!
10:05 pm on May 15th, 2012
Thank You, Rio and Beau.
Oh, Natasha, I am not giving up the base of balls and you know how long the baseball season is. (not nearly long enough)
10:08 pm on May 15th, 2012
Tulo!…I just saw the replay of the Fowler foul ball hitting Tulo below the knee…OUCH!Yeep!…I didn’t realize it was so bad…sniff!…I wonder if he will be playing tonight….wuffle!
10:11 pm on May 15th, 2012
SiberH!…Listen carefully, here is the secret code to get Beau to open the back door for you…snort!…Yark Three Times if you want to come in. Yark two times if you want a snack….sniff!…Yark Once if you just want to say ‘HI’…chuffle!
10:14 pm on May 15th, 2012
Siber – is ok sveetheart. Ve vill need time to series of the vorld anyvay to get vedding organized.
Who is going to be Best Dog? Ve may need to get extra short, extra round tuxedo if is von ve expect. Hmmmm – slate blue or silver – vhich goes vith tan?
10:15 pm on May 15th, 2012
My girl says it’s bed time but I want to stay up to see what happens to Siber-H. I have to wait until tomorrow. I hope he says safe.
10:19 pm on May 15th, 2012
Timmy!…Is pitching right now!…snort!snort!…Lets get a home run off him youse guys!….Wooooo!
10:20 pm on May 15th, 2012
Wha!?…Dammit!… 1,2,3 Yarks and we’re OUT already…grunt!
10:22 pm on May 15th, 2012
Natasha: My two legged has been trying to a explain a very difficult concept to me all day. She says that von vedding day is not about me so I shouldn’t complain about the no pink rule. Is this concept the algebra thingy I’ve heard about?
SiberH: W.L. wants me to let you know that they have prepared a hideout, I mean a spot for you. Elim says you can run next to him in lead.
10:22 pm on May 15th, 2012
Sam, It is okay. I am watching the baseball game. Thank you for your good wishes.
The code Rio…I have it memorized.
10:26 pm on May 15th, 2012
Safe!…SiberH, if I translated Natasha’s last comment correctly you are a free Siber until the World Series….heh!…Enjoy it while it lasts pal…snort!
10:37 pm on May 15th, 2012
I am glad you could figure out Natasha’s last post, Rio
Whew
Belle Starr, I could always sell the tourists souvenirs to raise money for the team.
10:39 pm on May 15th, 2012
Timmy!…Is wiping the Rockies Butts…sniff!
10:50 pm on May 15th, 2012
OUT!…Take that Timmy!…snort!…Our pitcher struck you OUT!…heh!…Now he is really going to be mad. What happened to Timmy having a tough time? He looks really good tonight pitching, not so much batting…chorkel!
10:52 pm on May 15th, 2012
Wolfie, the pug is right. Answering the question would result in more bad dogging. Let’s just say…well, nothing.
10:52 pm on May 15th, 2012
Timmy is pitching like I know he can…just not against the Rockies.
Tulo looks like he is hurting.
10:53 pm on May 15th, 2012
Belle Starr – is only von day for you to not vear the pink. But maybe ve should talk about your future too – is could be there is bouquet in vaiting for you?
Rio – vhy are you say that Siber is safe? Natasha vill protect him.
And is it not time for Rio to think about future? hmmm – Ve vonder who vould be perfect match for short, snorting, grumpy von…..
Ladies – any takers?
10:56 pm on May 15th, 2012
Tulo!..grump!…He should not be in tonights game…grumble!
Macy!… Everyone’s lips should be sealed on this matter…snort!…If they know whats good for them…sniffle!
10:57 pm on May 15th, 2012
We believe that Macy spilled the beans about something secret yesterday or the day before and got “bad dogged” for it. We have to go back and check to see what it was.
Love the wedding pic. Mom actually posted a comment on the wedding website. OTAS and GLAD will be wondering who in the world she is. (her pic is with her sister and that showed up, too).
SiberH, we may have found a loop hole for you to get you out of the wedding! Natasha may have caught the bouquet, but did you catch the garter? If not, you may be in the clear and she needs to find a different groom. If you did, suck it up buttercup cuz you’re going to the chapel and you’re going to get married!!
10:59 pm on May 15th, 2012
Match-Maker!…I am a bone-a-fied single-guy…snort!…Have been all my live long life…heh!…Not even Natasha can change that fact…grunt!
11:01 pm on May 15th, 2012
Puss N’ Boots!…Do not, I repeat, do not repeat what i fear you might repeat…grunt!
11:06 pm on May 15th, 2012
Gus and Boobear – (vhispering – do not tell Siber vas garter – he thought vas pretty collar, and put it on right avay)
11:06 pm on May 15th, 2012
Not me, No I did not catch the garter. That is not my style. I didn’t even try. I can’t catch anything. I do not play ball.
11:09 pm on May 15th, 2012
Collar!…OH NO!…snort!…SiberH, you didn’t put the garter/collar on did you?….wheeze!…[head-slap(beau’s)]
11:12 pm on May 15th, 2012
SiberH!…Try really hard to remember, did someone else put the garter/collar on you?…sniff!…Say, Natasha? When you guys were out “walking” in the woods perchance?…wuffle!
11:15 pm on May 15th, 2012
Yes, yes, she did. She is very sneaky.
11:20 pm on May 15th, 2012
Bagged!…Well, she’s got you on the ole bouquet/garter technicality…grunt!…Your life will be over come World Series time pal…snort!…Could be worse, you could be marrying the ADD afflicted Belle Starr….chorkel!
11:24 pm on May 15th, 2012
Good point, Rio
The Rockies announcers said the ship in the bay is headed for Alaska. I’m on it. Maybe it will take me directly to the Snowhook team on the glacier.
11:28 pm on May 15th, 2012
This is a good baseball game, but I am turning in. This has been a stressful day. Tomorrow when I wake up maybe it will all have been a scary dream and the Rockies will have won this game.
night all
11:45 pm on May 15th, 2012
Tonight was Bark at the Park for the Rangers game. 763 dogs were in attendance and the first pitch was brought in by a bulldog. Alas, the game sort of went to the dogs, the Kansas City dogs.
12:42 am on May 16th, 2012
Mama here. It seems Belle Starr got her feelings hurt. She’s very tender hearted despite what you might thing. Between the sniffles and sobs I tried to explain to her that it was just a little teasing. When she finally pulled herself together she said, “At least they think I’m good at math.”
