Deadly Animal Draft (2 Viewers)

[gorf]

Well, as I'm sitting here waiting for the next pick, I'm doing a little more elephant research. You know, to add more intimidating pictures, cool facts, etc.Did you know an elephant can poop up to 80 pounds a day?They're also have the largest brain of any land mammal (12 punds).

 

[BassNBrew]

that's alright. still a lot of time to make up for lost ground. an armless fingermonkey might be the difference between a tough matchup.

:rotflmao: No worse then a groinless Freddie.

 

[cosjobs]

If your gonna have the finger monkey, ya gotta handcuff him withThis fellow.

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE GROUNDRULES HERE. THERE IS NO TALKING ABOUT ANIMALS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN SELECTED!

Actually, suggestion for use in my penalty pick awards are welcome. It will help keep this thing moving.

I'd give them the first Bear of the draft. Taking a Bear early is always the kiss of death.

Actually I hear thos Koalas are some nasty basstids

 

[bagger]

bambi is always a good choice as well.

Easy there Francis. If somone drafts the harvest mouse and beats you, then you need to join a yahoo league.

NC's finger monkey is done. one poop and it will have taken out one of NC's animals.

 

[NCCommish]

:rotflmao:  :rotflmao: an armless fingermonkey as NC's first pick...he'll have some work cutout for him in future picks.

He's (NCCommish) is in one of my fantasy leagues. I guess if I win the title I shouldn't brag about it around here. Well at least next year's draft will be fun when he duplicates a pick and we assign him the finger monkey.

Oh real nice now its a complete pile on. I did win our matchup as I recall.

A koala bear  is probably one of the most docile and cuddly animals on earth.  Its easy to understand why so many people love koala bears. A koala is so timid and trusting, unlike any other animal I can think of.

I just don't want anyone mentioning any of my sleeper picks. Something that you find completely harmless may in fact be a ruthless killer. You know the expression - one man's harvest mouse is another man's...(I can't tell you yet)

Great, I'll now be known as the guy that lost to the doubtful finger monkey owner.

:rotflmao: Now that's funny.

 

[bagger]

who knows. since this will be voted on by the board maybe the finger monkey will get some sort of weird sympathy vote.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

And for no pics, I am breaking the Finger Monkey's other arm, as well.

That's gonna be one pissed off monkey.

 

[NCCommish]

I have decided to win despite my early ineptitude. That finger monkey is coming back to haunt someone.

this is my greatest fear right now. i am glad i am not in your division. an upset win in the first round would be tough to overcome.

 

[Mr.Squidward]

You fellers aren't from the south, are ya? You can hear their wings flap. Swear to God.

I can verify these mosquitos. Not just in the south either. I spent a vacation when I was younger camping in Michigan and all it did was rain. I have NEVER seen such large mosquitos.

 

[Jeromen]

I am now on the Finger Monkey BandWagon, Now who is coming with me.

 

[Mordred]

Hypothetical question.

What if someone were to now draft the Finger Monkey? Would that be a violation, since the F.M. is off the board, even though it wasn't actually drafted? Would that be a whole differnt kind of penalty, resulting in being assigned a rotting corpse, or a Pittsburgh Steeler defensive back, or some other sort of defenseless animal?

 

[Gringoloco]

I've decided in head to head matchups, convincing arguments will weigh heavily in the voting process. GB finger monkey bias.

I could be wrong, but knowing the hard-arses on this board, I would be careful about using the "cuddly" strategy.

 

[gorf]

well, the rover's gone now.

 

[Mordred]

Remember that the Finger Monkey is only recently discovered. It may be venemous, for all we know.

 

[Mordred]

well, the rover's gone now.

Probably left when he said, but left his computer logged in. Just fell victim to the energy saver. (Or a rogue band of ninja finger monkeys. )

 

[bigjay]

Since we're all stuck waiting, anyone want to take a stab at the ratio of weight advantage my sperm whale has vs the finger monkey? Just trying to kill time....

gdb cruising around a rain forest seeing a finger monkey and laughing only to be killed by it.with the story being linked in the FFA.

this is why i don't cruise around rainforests.

 

[bigjay]

Maybe when the finger monkey gets angry it turns green and swells to a thousand times it's size like the Hulk.... it could happen!

 

[Mr.Squidward]

What the hell?! The commish needs to come down hard on people making false claims while trying to justify their shoddy pick.Sperm whales eating Great White Sharks? Link Please?Black Panthers (or tabby cats....whatever) jumping 30 feet into the ocean to kill a shark?A one armed fingermonkey taking out the likes of an elephant?Come on! Stating your case for you pick is one thing but some of this stuff is just ridiculous.No, it was not a shark in that picture. LOL, it was a rabbit. Really, I mean this 'predator cat' mostly eats RABBITS! Rabbits!!! Nothing else needs to be said about that pick.Sperm whales? Really? Come on.No one told me this was a rookie league. Ridiculous. I, for one, am glad our commish is handling this with an iron fist. If he handled it any other way, Lassy would be 'spun' into being a shark killing, hippo hypnotizing phenomenon! Oh, by the way, the whole fingermonkey/Santana Moss bit raised the bar for hilariousness on this board. I'll never see S.Moss in the same light.

The finger monkey wants me to pass on his heartfelt thanks to his supporters. He'd do it personally but you all know what happened. Hes determined to come back and be a bad mother of a tiny monkey.

I'm sorry - rabbits? Are you high? It eats things like APES, man... APES. It's 200 pounds and you think that picture is a rabbit? It pulls 1200 lb. animals into the trees. Come on, man. a rabbit???And no, it won't jump onto the back of the Great White. That was a joke.It will fashion a fishing pole and pull it out of the water, though. That's on record.

i like it. despite you not being able to draft a hippo first overall, that's not your fault. you being one of the most ardent supporters of the hippo movement is appropriate that you have that as your avatar.without your thread, none of this is possible.

i was thinking of making a drastic move to show my support for my squad, but on balance i think you're right. why should i have to give up my hippo, just because some random number generator wouldn't let me pick first?

Sperm Whale shark-eating proofs as requested:

"What are sperm whales doing at those cold, dark depths? Eating giant squid and octopuses. These whales sometimes bear round sucker marks on their skin from their battles with the big cephalopods. A 36-foot long squid was once found in a sperm whale's stomach.

Although squid and octopuses are sperm whales' main food, an amazing variety of other things have been found in their stomachs: seals, lobsters, sponges, crabs, jellyfish, rocks, sand, glass fishing floats, coconuts, wood, apples, fishing line, shoes, and of course, the ubiquitous scourge of the ocean, plastic bags.

Researchers also recovered a 10-foot blue shark from the stomach of a large male.

And that's why it isn't likely sharks caused the death of the young Oahu sperm whale. Any whale that can swallow a 36-foot giant squid or a 10-foot shark isn't likely to fall prey, or let its offspring fall prey, to a shark, even a big one. "

How many animals did you just mention which have not been drafted yet? A little decorum, please, gentlemen.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Though I won't be drafting until, say, February, I just wanted to give all, who have posted thus far, a hearty thank you for the tears in my eyes. Haven't laughed this hard in a long, long, long time. GB the FFA Yea, shhhhhhhh on the undrafted ferocious beasts out there -fe

On average, great white sharks grow to be twice as long as blue sharks. Bro, big difference.
