Prowlers or Bunnies?

Post by MarkShot »

Eddy,

Dave nicknamed us the Panther Prowlers. So, why have you rechristened us the Beta Bunnies. Panther Prowlers sounds a little bit more dignified.

Of course, maybe we should have names like "Dances with Wolves".

Maybe mine could be "Breaks Things with a Mouse". :)

I figure this topic should be good for twenty posts from you and Ray, at least!

Panther Prowlers sounds somehow menacing, like we're prowling on unsuspected gamers or such, leaping at them when their defence is down and forcing them to play Cota. It's also pretty vague as to what our role in all of this is. Prowl ?

Beta Bunnies describes it better I think. For starters it's got Beta in it - which is a bit of a clue as to our role - and Bunnies to convey the non-threatening message that we're all happy and playing all day long in the long tall grass of Maleme airport - which is pretty accurate as well.

What we don't tell the gamers is that there's a hidden side to bunnies - people who have seen Monty Python's The Holy Grail will know what I mean - they've got razor sharp teeth and will leap at you instantly if you're so foolish as to make carrot sounds. Napoleon knew that well when he declared to prefer an army of rabbits led by a panther over an army of panthers led by a rabbi - or words to that effect.

You're seriously underestimating us - I say 40 at least [;)]

Well, if you're wondering which is more dangerous, I can report from personal experience having been bitten by a rabbit, but not by a panther.

Ever seen a "Flemish Giant" rabbit ? [:D]

The cute posture and fluffy appearance is just to lull us into a false sense of security, before the sharp, pointy teeth come out.
