A conversation between myself and my eight-year old Siberian Husky, Merry, on Michael Vick and his current standing in the NFL and our society at large.
Corey: “So you saw the footage of Mike Vick after the Philly/New York game, right? Where he was talking about the calls he doesn’t get?”
Merry: “Like phone calls?”
Corey: “No, like roughing the passer calls.”
Merry: “Wow that’s a real shame I hope he figures that out what with all of the terrible things that have happened to him in his life.”
Corey: “You are totally being sarcastic.”
Merry: “Sure.”
Corey: “But the dude is getting straight lit.”
Merry: “Yeah I try not to watch him.”
Corey: “Still? Still with this?”
Merry: “What do you mean ‘still’?”
Corey: “I don’t know, you act like he didn’t go to jail or anything. Did I miss the part where he was incarcerated? I thought I saw that in the papers.”
Merry: “No, you saw right, he went to jail for killing a bunch of people.”
Corey: “He didn’t kill people…”
Merry: “THEY WERE PEOPLE TO ME!”
Corey: “Alright, calm down. Keep your fur on.”
Merry: “…just glossing over the carcass man.”
Corey: “Yo what’s the point of sending a dude to jail if there is no redemption on the other end, and the punishment isn’t seen as a punishment?”
Merry: “What, like I’m just supposed to move on from the rape stand?”
Corey: “He. Went. To. Jail.”
Merry: “Rape. Stand.”
Corey: “What do you even care? They were Pit Bulls and you’re a Husky. It ain’t even your jurisdiction.”
Merry: “That’s racist.”
Corey: “Gyah…wha… what?!”
Merry: “What just because we’re different breeds means I can’t care?”
Corey: “That’s not what I… good Lord you didn’t even answer my question anyway.”
Merry: “I forgot what it was.”
Corey: “That’s cause your brain is the size of a walnut.”
Merry: “Whatever. You’re the one watching Tony Dungy talk.”
Corey: “Boom!”
Merry: “”That’s word.”
Corey: “But yo seriously is there just no hope for this guy ever? He all comes running out of a burning barn with 15 puppies…”
Merry: “I’m going to think he set the fire.”
Corey: “So no redemption. No shot.”
Merry: “I don’t know him. What’s it to me if he has reformed or not? Why do I even have to consider it?”
Corey: “Don’t you think there are greater consequences to this?”
Merry: “I don’t know man. My head is starting to hurt.”
Corey: “Walnut.”
Merry: “Yo can you rub my butt? It itches.”
Corey: “Absolutely not.”
Merry: “But that’s totally what owners do!”
Corey: “…….alright.”
