Sick like a Dog

This brings us back to a couple of years back, when saying such things suddenly became popular among my group of friends.

We tend to describe things with comparison to a dog. Maybe because dogs are man's best friend?But the point is we taunt people using the animal (xxxxx's dog) and we describe things by comparing it to the animal (ugly like a dog). Why has the dog such a great influence on us?

Maybe because in chinese, we call lackeys 走狗. And the term dog sprung out of the chinese term. But what about descriptions? Well, I think it just happened because it sounded funky.

Anyway, I'm currently sick like a dog. With a bad cold that took me completely by surprise and a throat that's drier than the Sahara desert.

Anyone got fast remedies for such shit, please drop me a comment. I need to recover ASAP.

Oh, and I have PS on Wednesday afternoon.
