    Gather around, for I have a tell to tale - the tale of Soccer Dog: The Movie.
    When I was in highschool I had a friend, and one occasion we would visit the other’s house to have a movie night, and whenever we were at mine I would try to sneak in Soccer Dog: The Movie in place of the actual film we were watching.
    It started with swapping the DVD when he was out of the room and jumping straight to the menu, but the climax of the “prank" was when we were watching Jurassic Park. I went to great lengths to edit the file we were planning to watch and re-export, so that at the exact moment the “Jurassic Park" logo appeared, it cut to “Soccer Dog: The Movie". To this day it’s one of my favourite jokes I’ve ever made.
    Thus ends my dogly tale.
