A good list. Do Zoobie and Zooby get along?Ivan Seeking said:OKay I have picked their names. There are eight in total.
I don't think I will ever be able to forget the goat diddies.Ivan Seeking said:This is a multidimensional conversation. Let's not forget goat diddies
Yes, in many Native American traditions, it is an honor to have a skunk named after you. Well, actually in only a couple of tribes. Well, actually, there is this one little band where shame and disgrace don't necessarily have to follow you the rest of your life because of it.Evo said:Evo the Terrible. I am honored.
Indeed. Much better than "Skunk Ape".Evo said:Zooby Le Pew is catchy. :tongue2:
Having lived in Texas for a number of years, I have eaten cabrito (barbecued goat). It's a Mexican thing. It was actually quite good.Moonbear said:I'm sure I'd have made everyone's mouth water in some Middle Eastern restaurant (I think that would be the place to get goat meat).
I'm envisioning hundreds of baby skunks pounding the ground in unison...Ivan screaming, running into the darkness hoping to escape the inevitable, but it's too late... :surprise:Ivan Seeking said:Okay, now the bad news: Zooby, you're right about this pounding before you spray thing. Between my office door and the kitchen door I had three encounters with little skunks pounding the ground; well, I think that's what I saw. I kept seeing motion followed by a large tail pointed at me. These guys are all over the place! We may have more than one family...I think...

As far as I know the pounding is only done if you have them cornered. In all cases where they have somewhere to run they will do that first. However, a skunk isn't very fast. I suppose if it seems like you're following them faster than they can run away they might get defensive.Ivan Seeking said:Okay, now the bad news: Zooby, you're right about this pounding before you spray thing.

Ivan Seeking said:btw, that was supposed to be Njorl [the Bob] Boulderbomb
Moonbear you are a riot!Moonbear said:LOL! I think they have Ivan surrounded.
They're all quiet as they encircle him, luring him into the center, then when there's nowhere to run, it starts: thump, thump, thump, thump...little striped tails approaching from every direction.
The scene goes to black.
The next scene is daylight, the hazmat team is there with gas masks and full protective clothing, onlookers stand behind crime scene tape, Tsunami is talking to a detective, "I don't know what happened? They seemed so harmless, but then this. I don't understand how this could have happened to Ivan? Why? Why?! Why?!"
Scene pans to two members of the hazmat team carrying in a large tub full of red liquid. Pans back to Tsunami who gasps at the site of the tub. The hazmat team leader has entered the scene, "Sorry ma'am, we didn't want to resort to this, but it's the only chance he has, we're going to have to douse him in tomato juice."

One large stupid dog AKA "Jaws of Death" is on it's way. :tongue2: That dog has been sprayed by skunks so many times she is immune to it now.Tsunami said:Update: THE LITTLE BUGGERS ARE EVERYWHERE! Last night I went out to call Zoobie in before bed, and one of them was RIGHT AT THE BACK DOOR! I think it was Zooby Le Pew. EVO! Send me your Jaws of Death puppy! We need dogs!
Yes, Ivan and Tsunami have a potential Pew Power monopoly on their hands, and they can't see the tree of this power through the forest of bushy tails.Evo said:Hey, will skunks run in wheels (like hamsters) if they are put in a cage? If you could somehow harness the power from all those skunks...
The Bob said:Barbecued Goat? Intresting. Well atleast if you forgot the bottle opener for the wine...

My impression from the ones in the backyard here, is that their eyesight is terrible.
I think from what you described that if you had a dog it would have gotten itself sprayed by now.
Best to go back and forth after dark with a flashlight.
Ivan Seeking said:Do we select a red wine or white wine when eating BBQ goat?
Oh yes, you want a pig not a goat. Just twist the screw into the cork and then pull on the pig's tail.
I guess what I saw on the billy was a hook of some kind, not a cork screw.
Well, it's good to know that I can still SHOCK and AWE someone! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:Evo said:One large stupid dog AKA "Jaws of Death" is on it's way. :tongue2: That dog has been sprayed by skunks so many times she is immune to it now.

P.S. - Tsunami, Ivan said that you were the one that came up with the skunkapult?? :surprise: I am shocked.
