He called the *chicken* hawks. Right now they are attempting a diversion tactic.

Solitaire1 · 05-16-2015, 12:15 PM

*Solitaire1 is ready to assist the chicken hawks in getting the chickens. As instructed, the chicken hawks carry him high in the sky and let him go. Solitaire1 steers himself as he falls and targets the flak door that PoohBear closed. A massive sword extends itself from Solitaire1's shell and hits the door, shattering it and causing the pieces to fly away. The chicken hawks smile as they see PoohBear, unprotected, looking up at them...*

Will PoohBear survive the onslaught of the chicken hawks?

Will AprilHare make an appearance or will AprilHare put on a bunny costume to avoid the chicken hawks?

*Chicken dives into escape tunnel, triggering the self-destruct blast that will clear the air of all chicken hawks .... and any turtles lingering in the area ...*

*doggie waits patiently at the end of the escape tunnel and grabs the chicken*

Dylrob · 05-16-2015, 07:42 PM

Quick, stuff him in this Energizer Bunny-powered cauldron!

You do realize that is a high-risk lifestyle you are leading, and you will probably rue that one day?

And you are even asking a hawk to pick you up and drop you on heavy surfaces. Need I remind the turtle that birds of prey are quite known for picking up turtles and dropping them on rocks to crack open their shells and eat them?
It is a major plotline of Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett -- so surely people here must've heard of it.

Ridiculous? Hardly. What would be ridiculous is if we introduced the Monty Python world's deadliest joke, since it would kill everyone on the internet (once posted here everyone would read it in this thread, then when people notice that no one is posting here someone would look and see the joke and then die laughing...and so on until everyone on the internet has died laughing).

Concerning the book, I haven't read it but I will put it at the end of my read/view list (currently sitting at more than 10 years worth of comic books, more than 100 manga, more than 500 anime episodes, several dozen TV series collections, several movies, and Game Of Thrones - Season One).

I'm not worried about my shell breaking open, I have my shell lined with a stainless steel liner and it can survive being driven over by a tank (it's based on my old PDA case which was as tough). Plus, once the chicken hawks see chicken, they won't be too concerned about eating me...and I've got an Elmer Fudd-type shotgun to deal with the more insistent chicken hawks. I will just be vewy vewy quiet. Ha ha ha ha.

Thing is about those birds of prey -- they have a weird compulsion to attack turtles. It doesn't make any sense, there isn't nearly enough meat on you... but there you go.

Never accuse a bird of prey of being the world's greatest intellectual.
(The turtle of the book was actually a god, albeit without worship/strength, so had intelligence to do a great deal of high-level musing in the process, much good that it did.

*Ferrets sneak out before doggie returns, as ferrets tend to do, and place a sleeping Aprilhare in the cauldron*

5thWiggleWife · 05-17-2015, 06:15 PM

*doggie places a bowl next to the cauldron*
*doggie open a can of Guinness and pours it into the bowl*
*doggies lays down and pretends to sleep*
