Default The Logo

I guess there are many scenario's for this logo, but the particular one that came to mind for me when putting it together, was this:

A guy with PTSD is walking is dog. The dog decides it needs to piss, and thus does so on the nearest tree. That tree is in someone's yard, and the owner is watching the dog piss on the tree. The owner of the yard then abuses the owner of the dog (suffering PTSD) and the dog... (you can see where this is going... can't you?)

So now, the owner of the dog is being calm (if they have already attended a PTSD course... maybe), until such time that the owner of the house, let's call him "x", decides to continue abusing the owner of the dog, and the dog. Well, now most people can take a bit off abuse, except if you have PTSD I guess, but when people stoop to your animals, well... all's fair in love and war, something has to give.

At a rough guess, "x" is about to get the shock of his life. Let's say that the owner of the dog is an ex war veteran, plus suffers from short arse disease! That now makes a cranky little short veteran with PTSD... oh... and a dog! So "x" now comes toward the owner of the dog, immediately startling the owner into thinking... retaliation! Now "x" decides he is going to:

a. kick the dog
b. kick the dog and abuse the owner, or
c. just continue verbally abusing the owner

Well, what "x" didn't realise is that the owner of the dog has PTSD, and short persons syndrome (we all know how short folks make up for a lack of size with a bigger bark) which means; it doesn't matter which option "x" has decided, as he is now hitting the pavement after being punched several times. At this point, I guess I would also be encouraging my dog to continue his pee on "x", just for total embarrassment factor!

So, that is the story of the logo, and why it contains a dog having a wizz, and a sign with a gun, "beware of owner".

What's your interpretation?

Default Another Logo Thought

The part of the Logo that I'm responding to is the GUN....IMO Once I was abused [sexually..physically..emotionally..spiritually] I was in all reality "SHOT" and with a very big caliber one!!!!! That has definately caused a wound that I have had to deal with presently and now into my future life!!!! Sometimes I imagine standing on a street corner near dusk and just letting out a gutteral LOUD 30 minute SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!:angry-fla [:eek: WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR A LOCAL STREET CORNER] [i guesssssss it would be okay if you don't mind losing your freedom &/or want to model a strait jacket for the Rest of you LIFE]

Default In the doghouse

Made me smile when I read the caption and reminded of a guy describing himself thus "I was the type of guy who if crossed, would go **** HIS wife and I would return later and **** his dog" Im not sure he was joking either.

My guess had been that T-Hell was probably your military unit or nickname, and that the dog somehow fit into that.

Also perhaps that it had been meant as a warning to internet predators and hackers; anthony is and his website are not to be messed with.

My take on it:

Threaten or invade my territory and you will wish I was a dog. They would be much nicer than I at protecting what is theirs.

Hehe, explosive things come in small packages! ;)

From just writing this it then made me think that it could also infer that what we do worry about (or think we should worry about) may not necessarily be where our focus should be?

Not in my corner of the world, I've never heard of that before. Though it makes more sense now.
