Life is full of questions.

“Why are we here?”
“What is the meaning of life?”
“Are you going to eat that last donut?”
“What are you going to do with that axe?”

    Tried this in German–¿Wo habt was sein? but got hung up on how German grammar requires you to add in the “jetzt unverbesserlich hier” (und vee haf vays to make du use gute grammar, britisherschwine!)

    Was similarly twisted up in Nihongo, as the Ikimasu desu masen deska wanted to be [subject] wa sa retadarreru–not that any Japanese would be so impolite as to point out the Yoidore tsubuyaki of a heathen barbarian to their actual face . . .

    Russian is better, Были там, где что было является, as
    “Byli tam,
    Gde
    Chto
    Bylo
    Yavl-ya-yets-ya”
    Sounds a bit like a nursery rhyme of sorts (if very much nekulturny) . . . or bad stereo instructions.

    So, I return to the beauty of “unverbesserlich” (OON fehr BES ser lick)
    If we take this apart, un = not being; ver=for; besser=better; lich=[being] like.
    Which can parse as “Not for being better/proper [subject]” which is usually translated into English as “incorrigible” or “naughty” or “bratty” in a sense.

    Jede sparkii unverbesserlich sein.

    It’s a simple question — what animals do the affordablke Dog Doctors become during a full moon?

    Inquiring Sparkies want to know.

    If I were a Sparky man.

    Ahhh…life’s imponderable questions, so riddle me this, Batman – why do hot dogs come 10 to a package and hot dog buns come 8 to a package?

    Also, where have all the flowers gone?

    I love it when Sparky contemplates the cosmos and shit.

      Because the hot dog companies cater to the big hot dog eating contests, who typically buy in multiples of 40 (divisible by both 8 and 10).

      No, I just made that up, but it sounds kinda plausible, right?

      It’s a conspiracy by the canned biscuit* people who want to promote pigs in blankets over the traditional hot dog and destroy American values!

      *Biscuit as in the ‘Murican bread, not the Britishese term for cookies.

    No, Sparky, it’s not “Were the affordable Dog Doctors”, it’s “Wjfdrndk zhh.. gnff.rb .ld dhsg,,,d fhxsctosja”

    But if you were a REAL dog, you’d know dogs can’t type. Imposter! I’m getting my PET scans somewhere else.

    To were or not to were, that is the question. Whether it is nobler to have affordabkle dog doctors or or use proper grammar, is not for Sparky to answer. For he seeks only the truth of were. Were is the dog doctor, and were thou not affordabkle? These are the things men ask their hearts in the darkness of the night. WERE? Tell me WERE?!

    I was once deeply in love with an incredibly smart person who never got the Where/Were straight. It gave me a huge sad. 🙁

    Sparky Oh Sparky
    Werefore art thou Sparky?
    Deny thy “H” and be but sworn my Spark
    Or I’ll no longer be filled snark.

    “Were doctor!?”

    “There, there doctor. There castle.”

    “Why are you talking like that?”

    “I thought you wanted to.”

    “But it’s not affordablke!”

    I didn’t know they gave medical degrees to dogs.

    Maybe were wolves. Maybe were houses. Maybe were pigs?

    Maybe there’s a hidden message? Perhaps an anagram of “affordablke Dog Doctors?”
    “A Brocaded Dork Golfs Oft”
    Well, golfers are prone to wearing odd clothing.
    “A Boldfaced God For Stork”
    Could be the title of the long-lost sequel to Ice Cream For Crow by Captain Beefheart.
    “A Blacked Ford Dost Forgo”
    Shakespearean, mayhap?
    “A Blockader’s Odd Fog Fort”
    “A Roadblock For Deft Gods”
    Oh, I dunno.

    Oh were, oh weredog there is something wrong.
    Oh were, oh were doctor fees.
    Affordablke pet care I’ve needed too long.
    They’re high as the wind in the trees.

    My weredog is little, a werecockapoo.
    He plays with a werepekingese.
    Now I have werepuppies, werepeekapoos.
    Yhey’re scratching because of werefleas.

    Oh were, oh weredog there is something wrong.
    Oh were, oh weredoctor please.
    My weredogs need healthcare by end of this song.
    Please lower those weredoggy fees.

    nojazzie, I am afraid that long exposure to Sparkies will lower the IQs and braining ability over the course of years. This should help keep you smartz: Punchity Punch Punch!

    Good Morning, WereDogs of London!
