Unclear

I’m not sure why this event got gavel to gavel (?) coverage (albeit only on the USA Network), or front-page coverage in the Strib…:
A sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden that called and chanted Uno’s name stood and roared when he was picked as numero uno. He got right into the act, jumping on Wilkerson and confirming his other title: noisiest in show.
Years from now, it’ll be known as the “ah-roo!” heard ’round the ring.
But I have known a few dog-show people in my day. And from what I’ve seen, Best in Show wasn’t a comedy; it was a documentary that just used fictional people.
And I know at least two of them are going to be barbering about the whole “the beagle won” thing for years.

my best advice – don’t work for dog-show people. They manage people like they train their dogs except they don’t throw you treats at the end of the day.

How many times do I have to tell you, Kel? You pee on the carpet, you get hit with the rolled-up newspaper.
