The m1 note (also known as Blue Charm Note in China) started it all – it boasted a big screen and an overall great package for the price.

It turns out Young is extremely specific about who can use his 1989 anthem, because he denied Colbert the opportunity to use it in cat food commercials, dog food commercials and his own late-night talk show.

You’d think they’d at least be excited about the chance of catching a foul ball. But fries are also good.
Other dogs at the game also seemed distracted.
