We are Allison and Geoffrey, married with dog in Brooklyn.
This Tumblr is our collection of images, funnies, and rants (well, mostly Geoffrey's rants, of which there are many), in addition to an obscenely ridiculous number of pictures of our dog, Lincoln.

This movie (500) Days of Summer looks cute. I love Zooey Deschanel.
My vantage point today, while almost 9 months pregnant and standing on the subway. I hope these gals are enjoying their beauty sleep. If only they saw the sign they were snoozing in front of.

Heartbreaking. What a major game yesterday in the Confederations Cup between the US and Brazil. The U.S. could have changed world soccer history yesterday and almost did. But from the loss they will learn how to rise up against some of the top giants in the world and actually compete. Next year, teams won’t look at the U.S. as simply a stumbling block but a major force to be reckoned in global international football. Too bad the same can’t be said about our car industry. ;) - G

Four footballers who wore green armbands in solidarity with Iranian protesters have been forced to retire from the national team.
Their gesture in a recent World Cup match in Seoul attracted worldwide attention last week.
But the authorities have now taken revenge revenge by imposing life bans on Ali Karimi, 31, Mehdi Mahdavikia, 32, Hosein Ka’abi, 24 and Vahid Hashemian, 32. According to the paper, they have been ‘retired’ from the sport.
They were among six players who took to the field wearing wristbands in the colour of the defeated opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, which has been adopted by demonstrators who believe the 12 June election was stolen.
Most of the players obeyed instructions to remove the armwear at half-time, but Mahdavikia wore his green captain’s armband for the entire match.
Steve Nash sets up his annual pick-up soccer game with international soccer stars and NBA players alike. It will be another packed house at the Nike Field on the Lower East Side. - G
‘This was a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran.’
Heartbreaking, her voice here is just heartbreaking
To put it as simply as possible, McCain—and his cohorts—are trying to score political points against the President in the midst of an international crisis. It is the sort of behavior that Republicans routinely call “unpatriotic” when Democrats are doing it. I would never question John McCain’s patriotism, no matter how misguided his sense of the country’s best interests sometimes seems. His behavior has nothing to do with love of country; it has everything to do with love of self. Again, the crucial fact about the protesters is this: they may hate the Khamenei-Ahmadinejad regime—who wouldn’t?—but that doesn’t make them particular fans of the United States.
