Have pity on us people living under logs – how the crap do you find this ‘instagram feed’ with all the pictures in it? There’s no link from his twitter and the instagram link just takes you to an advertisement for the iPhone app.

That dog looks totally psyched to have asparagus over its eyes.

Follow the link to her Twitter feed and click the links in the tweets. For example: http://ow.ly/i/bF1O

The dog’s expression reminds me of Doug from “Up”. A-frickin’-dorable.

Boing Boing includes silly things and serious things. Scroll up a few post for a few dozen decapitated bodies.

Direct link to the broom, please! I looked through as many links as I could from her twitter feed, and never saw the broom. Too many easy frisbees. BTW, going backward through time on twitter and watching the doggie become a puppy was WAY better than last night’s 35 Years with Sam Klemke. Someone please curate the whole set into an album of only things balancing on animal’s heads. Shivering with cute-convulsions . . .

There’s a pretty great one on Instagram of the doggie balancing a broom on its head. This alone is reason to use Instagram.

I just want to see some Australian planking on this dog’s head.

I love this. It almost feels like a pitch-perfect parody of the internet. I switch from a Salon article detailing the Obama’s administration prosecution of whistle-blowers to BoingBoing, and I could almost hear the announcer in my head:

“AND NEXT: Pictures of dogs with things on their heads!”

This looks like a good, harmless hobby for border collies. You have to keep them busy, or they’ll find interesting ways to keep themselves busy, such as taking apart your couch while you’re not looking, or fomenting revolutions on the net while signed in as you.

Actually, asparagus should be fairly easy. The pig is probably the hardest of these three, because of the high center of gravity. (I had a dog that was a champion balancer, things like asparagus were no problem, but asparagus itself was tough because she liked asparagus so she would “accidentally” drop it and snarf it down before I could stop her.)

So Instagram is basically like every other photo sharing site on the internet, except that you can only see the content if you’re an iPhone user? How “useful”!

Not sure what more people will be able to tell you. He lives in Amagasaki in Kansai on the Inland Sea. He has a Honda CB400 and a Honda Z Series though people say he probably doesn’t need both. The border collie’s name is Sora (“sky”). His hobbies are “bo” which I take to be a diminutive of border collie, frisbee, making silver jewelry and finding good restaurants. He’s happy if you follow him and won’t send any depressing tweets. I don’t know what “Umetaturou” means except that it looks like the name of the fairy tale character “Umetarou” with a weird sokuon in the middle of it. The Japanese Twitter name is “Sorapapa” i.e. the papa of Sora.

I’ll further correct myself and say that he likes playing frisbee with “bo”, which pretty much confirms that it’s slang for the border collie. Also I missed out that he likes Doraemon. And umetaturou is probably the surname Ume æ¢… plus the first name Tatsurouã€€é”éƒŽ though I may be wrong (again).
