In an effort to change the somewhat bitter tone of recent threads, I propose a new topic that I think will give everyone a smile and reason for good natured jocularity.
Imagine a virtual pit into which your college mascot, starved and abused into a snarling rage, is slowly hoisted down to fight to the death with my college mascot.
In the first of such grudge matches, a gelded Texas longhorn, still bleeding from its evacuated sack, but relatively huge in size, and with pointy horns gleaming, is loaded onto a winch and slowly but surely cranked down into the pit where awaits...
its worst nightmare.
The fierce killing machine that is the Michigan wolverine, pound for pound the meanest and most rapacious species of rodentia the earth has ever known.
Alas, before the straps can even be removed from the pathetic cow, my wolverine has eviscerated it and made a fine snack of its entrails.
Next?
I invited you to hoist your own college mascot down into the arena where it shall quickly join the carcass of the cow.
(Guys! Isn't this fun!!!!)
Patrick,
This really gave me a full-bodied, post-prandial, digestive chuckle. For those of you who did not check out Patrick's links, the first one begins:
Question
QUESTION: If a healthy, satiated North American Badger were placed in a confined space with a healthy, satiated North American Wolverine, and a fight to the death ensued... which animal would come out alive?
ANSWER: Hi, Bill
Wolverine vs Badger: The Wolverine would win.
--------------------
Of course, in this case, the wolverine is dead already, so the only thing the Badger has to do to be the current winner is dig up the comet, and perhaps eat the remains of all those buried underneath its intergalactic bulk.
I stipulate that the Badger has, in fact, successfully done so, and I furthermore proclaim that thanks to its wondrous-wicked digging claws, the contest has not ended, in fact, not missed a beat.
Right now, a corpse-stuffed Badger named Bucky sits and digests at the bottom of a once again evacuated death match pit of mascots.
Who will enter the arena to try his odds against the snarling if offal-glutted Bucky?
