K, this is a bit of harmless detraction. Make a choice, explain your reasons.
This poll will close in a week..

Talking dog. Nobody has a real talking dog. I think that someone somewhere has to have a monkey butler by now.
-
Talking dog. I don't like monkeys.
-
Monkey butler, more chance of it happening :)
-
Talking cat. Dogs and monkeys smell bad.
-
Talking dog. It'll at least be good company. The monkey butler just isn't gonna get you.
-
No cats. Cats are crap/ It's a binary choice :p

My dog already tries to, its actually pretty impressive how much he can convey with his assorted grumbles, barks and eyebrow expressions.
-
Talking dog; at least they're good company.
-
monkey butler. a real one would clean up anything, wear deoderant, and generally be rather clean, and then be able service me well.
:pimp:
plutonicially, its a monkeyits natural, because the first thing your talking dog will say is WTF!??!
-
A talking dog won't recieve an intelligence upgrade, it'd just say "FOOD!" or "WALKIES!!" or "LICK" etc.......
-
I love cats. My favorite since they are so cute, they don't bark, they are cleaner, and smart.
-
Dogs are loyal, you can trust them to an a degree. Good for turning a would be male thief into a 'lady'
Cats think they own you, you serve them
Monkeys throw their **** at you, and laugh about it
Cows are stupid, they just stare all day long (unless they get guns, then they kick ass)
Snakes, they want to eat you, have real bad lisp too
Whales, moan a lot of the time, take up a ****e load of room
Dolphins, always on crack
Giraffe, they have some neck, cheeky feckers
So yep, vote dogs, cause they dont have a disposable thumb to throw there crap at you, or the ability to strangle you in your sleep, or inslave you in the distant future.....
Dogs all the way! (just not for girlfriends) (although sometimes the difference may be hard to tell)
-
Just like when it comes to individuals and situations in life, each species has pros and cons. An individual of the human species has his/hers own pros and cons combined with the general pros and cons as a species (sub category pros and cons), but each person likes certain animals more than others because they feel their pros outweight their cons, same reason why someone would like one culture more than another or something more than something else.

*headdesk*
This is not a serious thread Max. Talking dog or Monkey butler. Just choose one.
-
Monkey Butler, I choose YOU! Because you are more cat-like.
-
They still both smell.
-
Monkey butler. If I had a talking dog, I'd have to take him onto the daytime TV talk show circuit, and I hate those shows.
-
A monkey butler at least offers some service. The only way a talking dog would be worth it is in the marketing of him, and that's annoying.
-
since there's no "I choose non of those bastard!" option, I'm gonna lean to the dog, simply because I'm more used to cleaning dog poo that monkey one, besides I can tell the dog to do it's needs on my neighbour lawn :drevil:
-
Ok, talking dog. I don't need an animal to serve me since I can serve myself and it would be nice to be able to converse with an animal.

Everything's better with monkeys. (http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=31&Itemid=47)
(Thought that was the trope page, didn't you? :p)
-
I wasn't actually sure that was a trope page, but since you mentioned it... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlefr5h9p9h6i92?from=Main.EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys)
-
I did.
back on-topic: Are we talking about a fluently (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingAnimal) talking dog, or a kinda talking (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpeechImpairedAnimal) talking dog?
(I will have a custom title, dammit!)
EDIT: Aww, someone got the otherone before I did.
-
Talking dog, my dog already cusses when he gets pissed, doesn't seem too far-fetched.
-
Monkey Butler.
Since the dog isn't getting any smarter he'd drive me mad otherwise.
*playing on the computer*
Dog : Ball, Play ball, Throw Ball, Sitting Waiting, Throw ball, Throw ball,
*Throws ball*
Dog : Running after ball, Got ball, bringing ball back, throw ball, throw ball, throw ball,
:D I know my dog is thinking that but I can ignore him some of the time. It would be so much harder to do that if he could speak. :p

Yeah, they have extremely simplistic cognitive skills and are extremely repetitive, though they display a sense of consciouness and seem to know they are there. However, their loud barking and inability to remember being told to shut up (extremely unimpressive) and being able to learn what they should and shouldn't bark at can really PO me and makes me imagine kicking one, though I wouldn't do it. However, the ones born in the wild have 1/3 more intelligence than domesticated dogs, though it probably varies from each species of dog and how closely related to normal wolves that they are. Also, it's a waste of money to own dogs, I feel, though I sometimes have a soft spot towards them and I show them attention, but I prefer very small ones and only one if I choose to have one. Cheap and cute.
Ironically, I feel I need to go tell one of the dogs out there to shut up (family's dogs). She still spins around a lot and she is 3 years old or so, probably from lead poisoning from a toy as a puppy. I don't know. Chemicals are definitely not good for creatures with already miniscule intelligence levels.
If I someday move out on my own, I won't get one.
Edit: Seems that she shut herself up before I finished this post.

I was choosing talking dog on the premisce that I could hold an intelligible conversation with the said animal... by saying this is not an option... I deny your reality and REPLACE IT WITH MY OWN!!!
BWAAA HAAGHH HAARRGHH!! :drevil:
Though seriously, if the dog has enough of a genetic difference from all other dogs that it can actually speak... why not let it speak reasonably? To me the difference in the question of "monkey vs. dog" was that of wanting a servant or a companion...

I read it as 'monkey butter'.. I'm not sure I'd even want to hazard a guess what that is...:nervous:
-
Even of the dog has the intelligence, it needs a voice box more like ours to be understandable. I heard on a channel that Neanderthals couldn't speak since it was said that they had a small throat or the shape of it was not suitable for speaking or something.

*facepalm
-
That's nice.

Let that be a lesson: GenDisc is not the right place for lighthearted fun.
-
All I want is some frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
Failing that, tadpoles with spasers (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/17/worlds_smallest_laser/) on their heads.
-
Fine, to generate interest.. . .. . .. (Although parrots just mimic) the dog is now a thespian with an intellect to rival hawking.
-
Holy hell, dog definitely then. :yes:
-
I tend to think the instance where a bugler comes face to face with the household Doberman Pincher and is promptly told "Your Ass is Toast ****head" would be fairly epic.
-
The dog. Because I could sell it for more than the monkey on eBay.
-
Bugler:lol:
-
really i dont want either, the would both annoy me to no end.
-
Awwww. . .
-
Monkey butler to take care of my talking dog.

You can only have one, therefor you would be left with just the monkey.
I choose the talking dog, as long it isn't one of those annoying and stupid small dogs.
-
Ok. a monkey butler with a talking dog.

No, here's the thing. You can't have both. It's either the monkey butler, or a talking dog.
-
A monkey butler who owns the talking dog
-
Talking dog, like fer sure. Like, totally~
Yeah, the talking dog.
