Hedgehogs at ten paces

"On the command of 'go,' you will walk ten paces, turn, and throw your hedgehog. Have the Seconds inspected the hedgehogs?"

Watch for the New Zealand government to call for hedgehog registration soon.

Is there a recognised procedure?

Do you just pull a quill and throw it?


["Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."]

Ah yes the Holy Handgrenade



The guy in the story must have been of French decent since they seem to have a proclivity to toss animals

I read this story on the BBC website earlier today. I thought that it could be an insensensitive subject to raise here. When hidesert posted, well, I couldn't resist!

I replied for a bit of fun. Hidesert knows I love Monty Python, as I believe he does. My reply was irreverent to say the least. I thought I may have even got moderated, although it was only meant as a bit of fun. Thank goodness some people still have a great sense of humour!

Disclaimer: No hedgehogs are ever hurt as a result of my postings. Ever!

Where's hidesert when I need him?

Oh yes, tending to his nuclear reactor & making sure it doesn't go super critical. OK, fair 'nuff.

Mangles, get real: I am not a person who wipes other peoples' bottoms! I am not a stupid English kn-ig'it! In fact I'm a normal limey/pommie/English type person. And the French were not , 'ow you say, narce people in the movie !

Dave.

Mm mm. Orangutans and breakfast cereals.

Sorry to drop the ball, DaveB. I'll try to do better in the future.
