This was funny enough that I checked out your blog and it absolutely rules.

I was gonna make a joke about this being their second account but I checked it out and you're right lol.

what exactly does this mean (i am a puppy and don’t understand…)

same thing free as it cat means (i am a cat, meow)

it just means that it might be free for my owner to adopt me, but it sure as hell aint free for them to spoil me

hi kitty Σ:3 that makes sense, ty

It is the contrast of "free as in beer". Beer has no ongoing commitments, unlike a puppy.

Best HN comment in a long time

Is that similar to a free older German car?

I always heard it phrased as "Free as in herpes."

I thought that herpes was “the gift that keeps on giving”.

I keep saying this, it’s my new favorite metaphor.

Amazing

As a puppy owner and lover of "Free as in speech" etc. phrases. I applaud!
