  What say you Briefers?

I was going to say you failed to mention "Shittens," but then I realized they are actually useful with good reviews on Amazon.

Free doggy poop bags are actually a good idea.

@Cyber Liberty for a moment I thought you said “kittens “

   I mentioned the dog poop bags because in my little Texas town they are in every park and beer joint (that allow dogs) and absolutely no one seems to know what they are there for, it seems.

You need to add hair regrowth treatments.

I spent a king's ransom on them back when I realized I might have a problem and just look at me now.

You and Chewy both.  Me neither, I have a herd of catz (one of whom is named "Chewy").  Big city parks are a place I would openly carry some heat.

Anything made in China, such as their Marble

by the Qianlong Emperor in 1755.
Surprise; it still exists and has never moved an inch!!!

Mrs. Liberty accidentally bought me a bottle of Cinnamon Whiskey once.  I tasted it and gave the rest of the 5th away.   **nononono*

Almost true. I have been to one (of several) city park a handful of times in the last two decades... And as luck would have it, I will be there again this month for a birthday at one of the pavilions... and no doubt my mamma will drag me down there to see the rose gardens this year, which, as a dutiful son, will probably become an annual event.

But as a general rule, you are exactly right. There is little I need from a city park. I go to the cemetery 10 times as often, and that ain't very much. Even so, I ain't prone to picking up dog crap. Heck, I don't even pick up dog crap in the yard. One of the nifty things about an ozzie shepherd is that their poop is light enough to be lifted by the grass growing... So it all goes right up the mower chute. It's a feature.

Dawg walkers are supposed to police their own poop.  I'd never pick up some inconsiderate jerk's dog poop.  It's my policy.  :cool:

When it's your dog on your own land, it's natural fertilizer.

Everywhere I go it doesn't matter. Does a dog crap in the forest? Nobody knows, and nobody cares.

Dog (carnivore) poop makes horrible fertilizer, and is more likely to spread disease than do any good for the lawn.  This is especially true for dogs who are fed raw meat.

True, but you've obviously never seen @roamer_1's lawn.   :whistle:

I always thought,"If that stuff is so good at making hair grow, why don't those guys all have hairy palms and fingers? "

Well, in areas where they banned plastic grocery bags, they might be handy. They should put them in San Francisco and elsewhere they have a poo problem and make the homeless bag it when they drop it...

We have one in the Castle we just bought and I concur.  Even more useless since we tore out all the carpeting on the first floor and replaced it with wood.  Dragging the under-powered hose from location to location is a bigger PIA than just using a regular vacuum cleaner, now that they've gotten so much lighter.

It depends on who you ask.  I have a kid with asthma and his doctor told us the best thing we could do for him when we were building our house was to have wood floors and use a central vac.  Having said that, I admit they can be a pain to drag out and drag around and then drag back into the storage closet.

Maybe wall to wall carpeting is the most useless product then?

We tore ours out in the babies room and found hardwood under it.

He's correct about that.  At our Castle the vacuum unit is in the garage, and it vents into the garage instead of the house.  The newest vac Mrs. Liberty got has HEPA filters.

The one I saw had little doors in each room along the floor.  You'd sweep stuff to the door, then lift it and the vacuum would come on and suck up all the dog hair.  I want one.

Trigger locks.

Gun stores here are required to include a trigger lock with every gun you purchase.

That's what my safe is for.

Oh! The qualifier was "in use". Nevermind. I don't know anyone that actually uses one.

Maybe we could run a string through 'em with a couple of beads and sell 'em to college kids as talismans against euphemisms an' such....
