Dog skateboarding. 'Nuff said.

Okay, I've seen movies of dogs riding skateboards, but this one rocks!

Ok, this is the third time I've tried to read this link and get gibberish. What am I missing in order to read the .wmv file correctly?

Are you on a Mac? This is the Windows Media Player format.

No Mac, and the WMP is set as default player for this machine. Upon opening the page, I see untext and it looks like the machine is transferring a file, but then reaches "done" before playing a vid clip. Hmm.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Hmmm indeed. Did you hit the play arrow?

Say, you called us on your way to the movie, and we also went! Sorry we missed each other!

It doesn't even load the file to hit play, some disconnect before raising the WMP.

Funny! I saw another couple there, it's ironic to have overlooked you two just after calling both of you.

Huh, somethin's wrong with your WMP, I'd guess. You download updates, right?

We need to make sure to plan these things in advance! Would've been fun to sit together and laugh throughout. That's not saying I didn't enjoy it -- sure did! -- but I hadn't realized it was going to be a comedy.

Oh, that would have been me you heard laughing on the other side then. I must have laughed twice as often as the surrounding audience. It was the lighthearted fun I expected, although I too thought they would try to play it a little darker and more serious.

That was so cool! I love that the dog is ambidextrous and knows to lean to steer the board.

(I had trouble seeing the video clip at first, then I remembered that RealPlayer is my default player. They're a client, so I feel obliged to use and know their product. I launched RealPlayer and pasted the url into the search bar et voila).

Oh, I know! He doesn't just ride on it, he rides it!

I'm amazed that the dog can ride a skateboard better than I can.
