WOOF! WOOF!
In the past week, the Major General Music has been observed barking at people on Hope College's campus. Here is a conversation shared with the Angela regarding this phenomenon.
Major_General_Music: i also must tell you something very exciting!
The_Angela: okay
Major_General_Music: one of my friends in chapel choir growled at me and pretended to bite my shoulder
Major_General_Music: i turned around and went "WOOF!!!!"
Major_General_Music: it very much frightened peter van dutchyname, my section leader
Major_General_Music: he says he's concerned that i'm barking at people
Major_General_Music: i smiled knowingly and thought of the angela
Major_General_Music: your comments, please
The_Angela: Woof!
The_Angela: Woofing good.
Major_General_Music: yes
Major_General_Music: woofing is good
Major_General_Music: right before peter left, i said "woof woof?" and then he grew even more gravely concerned
Major_General_Music: it is not the first time i've woofed at someone
The_Angela: Just the first time he heard?
Major_General_Music: apparently
Major_General_Music: hopefully i'll develop a reputation around campus of being known as the guy that goes "WOOF!"
Major_General_Music: but that's all
Major_General_Music: no "BARK!" or "ARF!" or "RUFF!"
Major_General_Music: just "WOOF!"
Soon after this discussion, the Major General Music wanted to test the barking princple on the nice neighbor guy upstairs, the Violin-playing Computer Expert. An excerpt follows...
Major_General_Music: WOOF!
Violin-playing_Computer_Expert: TURBO FRIDGE
Major_General_Music: WOOF! WOOF! grrr... RUFF!!!!
Violin-playing_Computer_Expert: down boy
Major_General_Music: woof woof?
Success!!!! Albeit with a "grrr" and an added "RUFF" but success nonetheless.

WOOF!!! Barking is a very fun form of entertainment. You are not the only person to pick this up from me- I'm afraid I may be contagious. What fun!

I concur. Do we get bonus points if we truly frighten those around us?

hmmm...I wonder who "Violin-playing_Computer_Expert" is?!

You could get points-but they'd be like 'Whose Line' points- so they don't matter anyway.
