Crazy Barking Dog Man Becomes Internet Hit

Since many of us RVers like to take our pets with us on the road, I thought you guys might enjoy this story. 

A man who gave a bizarre impression of a barking dog during a recent news interview - has become an online sensation. I don't even know what to say about this man really.....



The clip of Ray Graham, 57, being interviewed about dogs terrorising a street in Sydney became an instant hit online after it was aired on Channel Nine.

After outlining his concerns about the animals, he gave an impression of a vicious dog -- much to the apparent disgust of his wife. I actually thought she was going to backhand him.

The impression earned him the name 'psycho dog man' on YouTube and a Facebook fan page was set up in his honour which has over 6,000 fans. Psycho dog man?  I can't imagine WHY.

As if the original clip was not good enough it has now been remixed with the song "Who let the dogs out?" -- Check it out after the link.



So maybe those of us who don't have pets can take a lesson from the psycho dog man and just start doing dog impressions at the RV parks for fun, eh? Okay, so maybe not....I think I'll just leave that up to Mr. Psycho dog man since he does it so well.  Ha!

Sleeping bag tester job in the UK pays £600 a week

A company in the UK is looking to employ someone who is capable of sleeping on the job -- for £600 a week.
Halfords are planning to recruit a 'sleeping bag tester' to snooze in a variety of products and report back about how good they are.

A job ad placed in a West Midlands newspaper states that would-be testers much be willing to sleep under canvas and normally be a good sleeper.

The successful applicant will get £10 per hour with a minimum of £600 for a 5-day sleep-in and bosses say it would suit someone interested in the factors that contribute to a good nights sleep.

We are tempted to apply, if only so we get the chance to phone the boss at 9.15 and tell him we overslept.. for him to say well done!  Ha!

   The full text of the job ad reads:

WE NEED a good sleeper. Sleeping Bag Tester required to assess the Halfords range of sleeping bags. Salary: £10 per hour, minimum pay £600 for a 5-day sleep in.

Previous experience of product testing would be helpful but not essential. The role will require you to sleep outside under canvas, test and provide feedback on a range of sleeping bags.

You should be a good sleeper and able to provide objective feedback on your sleep experience. Would suit someone interested in sleep and the factors that contribute to a good nights sleep.

Apply to: Jobs@Pertemps 01527 591091 or email helen.hibbert@pertemps with why you feel you would be suitable for this role. Closing date: 15th April 2010

So I'm wondering.....can you  test it from your campsite?  Maybe we should ask the guys at Jellystone Parks in Memphis for their opinion!
