Even the Gopher Looked Grossed Out
Posted by Moose on November 11th, 2007. Filed under: Adventures.The dog almost caught a gopher on Bernal Hill this afternoon. She pawed at the hole with more than her usual fervor, so I went to check the proceedings. A small, brown rodent struggled pitifully, trying to writhe away from the pup’s frantic slavering. It wasn’t the first time I regretted eating an entire bag of Kettle Chips for lunch, nor the last, but it was immediately voted Moment Most Likely to Turn Bilious.
I think the dog intuited my desperation and was prompted toward greater heights of sympathy than her hunting ancestry usually allows, because she stopped before I was forced to hurl the contents of my stomach into the gopher’s living room. The poor gopher had suffered enough without needing to scrub its carpet while recovering from massive canine-induced arrhythmia.

It would make my day if you said you went home and watched “Caddyshack.”

One should never have to regret eating Kettle Chips. They’re so delicious!

WendyB: Animatronic gophers – that’s movie-making genius right there.
Sunny: They ARE delicious. This is how I end up eating an entire bag in one sitting. There is a point at which an entire bag of delicious starts to taste like a mistake.
