When you start mixing two different animals you eventually make human-like animals. I already said the result of that in the Mordor thread, and it, well, ........

..........let's just say it isn't pretty.

++Girabbit.

The Mr Bliss tribe suffered another blow on the thirteenth day, as the troops rallied around Smith of Wooton Major and deflected an attack onto the strange rabbit/giraffe hybrid....

Girabbit: 6 votes

Smith of Wooton Major: 2 votes

And so, the Girabbit was sold to a freak show for sixpence and nobody missed him.

It's time we get rid of one of the Ham-sters - they haven't lost a team member yet and are probably feeling too sure of themselves by now. Let's see, the Giant doesn't have an important function in most of the story, and keeping him fed is hard on the countryside. Therefore I vote

++The Giant from the Wild Hills

Anguirel · 04-24-2006, 09:23 AM

Fie, fie! Not content with fumigating the Mewlips, Esty, you now persecute the Giant. Next you'll be bullying Chrysophylax.

The goody-goodies have had their fun. Now I'm going to start being positively sadistic.

++NELL

As was applied to a different literary context, "It would take a man with a heart of stone, upon reading the death of Little Nell, to resist shedding tears...of laughter."

Estelyn Telcontar · 04-24-2006, 09:39 AM

But the Smith team is already decimated, and it wasn't as large as others to start with. Shouldn't you pick on someone your own size, Ang?!

Shame on you, bullying helpless females around - and a young mother, no less!

littlemanpoet · 04-24-2006, 09:43 AM

In return for the favor from yesterday, I join Estelyn today.

++ Giant from the Wild Hills

He's a stupid oaf anyway that can't be harmed with a mere blunderbuss! Away with him!

Anguirel · 04-24-2006, 09:48 AM

I sense Phantomesque machinations! I will not lower myself to them.

But look at it this way and you'll see who's persecuting who.

Nell is a human woman.

The Giant is, naturally, a Giant.

There are no Giants around today.

But there are three billion women.

Slay these specieist murderesses before they get the chance to procreate! Down with Nell!
