Zoobies are inherently unmanagable. Just stay alert, and show no fear.

I thought that was just their hair.
 
I don't believe I know Danger. Of if I do he wasn't all that memorable.
Is he the next recipient of the coveted pink ribbon?

What have I missed? Anything exciting? Based on the glut of emails in my inbox I was expecting to find a dusty, windblown ghost town or maybe something out of Orwell.

Take away the hair, and there's precious little zoobie left.

I'll get his wallet. Someone grab his watch.

Awesome. Now I can afford to take Moonbear out for sushi.

Someone touch his eyeball. If he doesn't flinch, he's dead.

There's no money in this wallet! Just a bunch of strip club receipts and a mail order bride advertisement. You have a lot of explaining to do Tribdog.

The old Vietnamese needle to the genitalia trick always works.

Wouldn't a thumbtack be more appropriate in this case?

No booz for me. Zoobies like boobies.

I think that was the official first blow of the beating-a-dead-dog portion of the match.

He's going to have to fight me and Artman for it. :biggrin: Danger is your northern counterpart; your twin separated at birth. Really scary to have you both around at the same time now! Don't detonate anything really big, please?

What have I missed? Anything exciting? Based on the glut of emails in my inbox I was expecting to find a dusty, windblown ghost town or maybe something out of Orwell.
I figured since you weren't here, no point sending emails. Where the heck have you been? I was seriously considering writing a letter (now that I found your address again; it got a bit buried) to find out if you were still alive! Do you still have all your body parts? Since SOS is around, we know you haven't managed to explode all of AZ yet.

As for what you've missed, just that monster of a thread you created! Have you seen that thing? It's immortal!

Tribdog, she's yanking your crank. What she really means is that Danger is your replacement. She's just too scared to say it to your face.

Yay! Tribdog is back!

Correction. Zoobyshoe, Danger, Astronuc and Tridog are identical twins separated at conception (in a Douglas Adams kind of way). It was an experimental precusor to in-vitro fertilization. Somehow we all got sent to different labs in different parts of the world. Looks like Zooby got thawed out first, then Danger, then me, and then Tribdog is the last. They waited a little longer to Tribdog. I think I got crossed with a Wolfhound. :biggrin:

I am still trying to figure out who got what genes. I guess they kept tweaking the process, and ended up with Tribdog who is the youngest. :biggrin:
