A Word on Clifford the Big Red Dog

In the midst of watching Clifford the Big Red Dog this morning with the little one and grandparents, Harrogate is thinking about recent conversations he has had with Supadiscomama about certain premises of the show, as well as the aesthetic qualities of the Lead-In provided below.


Here are two questions. Feel free to add others in your response.

1)Yes indeedy. Many of us can certainly relate to this one. The people in this show wind up having to actually move due solely to the necessitations of their pet.

2)Think about this Lead-In from the perspective of the guy singing, and Harrogate is quoting here, "I love Clifford the Big Red Dog." How much money and/or perks would you require to sing such a song in Earnest, for all the public to experience, as this guy does?

I don't know. "How much money and/or perks would you require to sing such a song in Earnest, for all the public to experience, as this guy does?" Honestly? I don't think your pooches appreciate this sentiment!

Hey now, Harrogate didn't say that he himself would come at a high price.....

In fact, a bag of Cheetos and a couple of grand would probably do it, for Harrogate.

Would you at least share the Cheetos with them?

Absolutely. MMMMMM. Puppies love Cheetos every bit as much as Harrogate does. Indeed, Chocolate Thunder will divest you of a finger in the name of a Cheetos.

And Harrogate knows that he'd better share with somebody, particularly after solon's long-ago observation that, the old, leathery geezer in the "Felecia commercial" is nothing less than a veiled reference to what happens to you if you eat too many Cheetos.
