girl dog will urge him on (barking from a safe distance).

So the saying should have been "Behind every brave man is a loud woman"? [:D]

Well, behind that particular brave male dog was a loud girl dog! [:D]

Apparently the girl dog saw the male after something, butted in to see what was going on, saw the snake, and backed up behind #1 Dog and started barking furiously. [8|]

[:D] Did she wet herself too?

I remember one of my cats got the handle of a plastic grocery hooked around his neck and under one foreleg. Of course, a big rattly thing chasing you no matter how fast one runs is a scary thing indeed! When we finally caught him (that took a while), the bag was more of a water balloon..... [:'(]


Hilarious. You have to picture a straight stairwell with two rooms to each side at the top, and every few seconds a cat and plastic grocery bag would zip between them.

Hard to know - she was outside at the time, although AFAIK she did not reportedly lose wholesale control of her sphincters!

Brothers, I'm suffering a crisis of faith at the moment. Since the release of TOAW III yesterday, I haven't even looked at WitP! This is inexcusable heresy on my part, and I throw myself on the mercy of the Threadian Inquisition...

Yikes - you do realize how "merciful" the Threadian Inquistion is... [X(]

Sigh... i'm afraid there is no forgiveness - you are going to have to sit in the Comfy Chair!!

The Operational Art of War III, released by Matrix, and bought by me, yesterday... Part of the old Talonsoft catalogue, acquired by Matrix recently.

Oh sure...tease him into unforgiveable blasphemies.....that's a nice friend. [:D]

I'm afraid you will be sent to the Comfy Chair for a time, Terminus, until your heresies have run their course.

Well, since I'm going to The Comfy Chair anyway, I'm already in deep doo-doo...
 
Yes, TOAW III is excellent. It covers battles from WWI onward to 2015, with a couple of Civil War scenarios thrown in for good measure. Scale goes from 2.5-50km/hex and from platoon to corps. Basically, it tries to be all things to all gamers, and actually succeeds to a very great extent, which is rare. Supposedly, it even has a passable to good AI. It certainly kicked my butt the first few games, but that's not saying much...

Mine did the same thing with a handled bag. 2am he gets the thing stuck and runs around the house trying to get it off. He comes into the bedroom with just the handels left around his neck and almost gets shot since I have now woken up and think I have a burglar in the house.

Same cat used to turn wall light switches on and off in the middle of the night. I swear he was trying to get himself shot.

Has anyone noticed that T is pleasant and witty? I suspect he may have been abducted by aliens and this is an imposter. Either that or his exams are over. [:'(]
