Well, folks, today's NAKED ANIMAL is:


THE NAKED KANGAROO!!!

In this case, a baby Eastern Grey kangaroo...

[Speedysteve]

This is crazy. I swear I have mentioned a kangaroo every other time[8|][:'(]

[niceguy2005]

Oh yeah, a llama was a real stretch, but a naked kangaroo i should have guessed. [:'(]

[rtrapasso]

Anyway, i guess tomorrow i'll make it a *tad* easier! (but i did think you guys would guess this one...)

yes, which is one reason i figured you guys would get it!!

[niceguy2005]

maybe an obscure hint like it doesn't exist in North America or it can't be found in Europe or something.

well, you guys are about 50/50, so it's not too bad. Maybe i'll lengthen the contest a bit also to two hours (which i've done a couple of times, but i figured i'd be busier this a.m. than usual)...

I was just teasing Robert.

Thanks for your efforts on the naked animal game. I tried to explain the game to my girlfriend the other night.

GF: "What are you doing honey"
me: "Reading the Thread" (puts hands in the air doing quote sighn)
GF: "The what?"
me: "Its on this war game forum. The guys play a naked animal game."
GF: "OH MY!"
me: "Its where one of the guys posts pictures of naked (uses air quotes again) animals on the net, but first we try and guess what the animal will be"
GF: "uh-huh" rolls eyes and walks away mumbling something about geeks to herself.
me:thinking to myself women just don't get it and goes back to reading the Thread.

Robert, we went to the Colorado History Meseum this weekend. They have your picture (avatar) hanging next to an exhibit on the 10th Mountain Div. It was next to some cartoons drawn by the guys of the 10th Mtn Div during their stay at Camp Hale.

Yeah, it is hard to explain. My wife only "got" it when i showed her some pictures of the NAKED ANIMALS (which she found amusing or at least interesting...)
