Deadly Animal Draft (1 Viewer)

Of course, I've gone nearly blind from lookign at frogs, so hey...who knows.
Click to expand...
Same thing happened to me from chronic masturbation. But from now on, my story is also "too much time looking at frogs." Sweet. :thumbup:
 
I am up here in the next couple picks. I have pm'd to the Commish as I am going to take the wife out for a quick dinner....I will get my pictures up as soon as I get home....

 
Here's our pick - since I have it ready - stand by for the replacement pick for Goat - I have a good one in mind.

Pick 4.3 - Team of Fast Eddie and cactus fullfill the one bird requirement with the largest and most powerful raptor in the world:

The Harpy Eagle

Their very

powerful feet and razor sharp talons and beak make them formidable predators and

even monkeys and sloths, resting in trees, are not safe from this large, swift, eagle.
Click to expand...
The large, extremely sharp beak of the harpy ( shown above) is used much as a butcher

might use a knife, to strip or cut pieces of flesh from its victims. The prey is held down

by the powerful talons of the harpy while it uses its beak to rip it apart.

Prey is located by the keen sense of sight and hearing of the harpy. The tuft of feathers

around the head of the harpy funnels sounds into its ears....magnifying and helping the eagle

to home in on the creature making the sound.

The incredibly strong wings provide tremendous lift when the harpy takes flight. These wings

provide more than enough lift for the harpy to carry off prey which weighs as much as it does.

Harpys attain speeds of over 50 mph as they swoop down from their perches in trees to grab

some unsuspecting animal or reptile.

We rule the ocean with the DEADLIEST of the Deadliest Animal DraftHold our own on land with one of the most DEADLIEST animals on the planet.

And now we rule the sky!

 
Dude - you got me all excited. I thought the Harpy Eagle was for me.Edit to add: If someone told me a week ago that I'd ever type that sentence, I'm sure I would have thought them to be insane.

FastEddie/cactus gets to make his R3 selection.Could be a bannan slug, could be a Brazilian werewolf.... its up to his fellow owner.

Good pick, but again, one that will required educating the voters.... good luck, they are still aprroving of Bush (tho dwindling).
 
Harpy's have a wide hunting territory which sometimes covers over 20 square miles

and hunt anything from small mammals, reptiles and rodents to other birds. Their very

powerful feet and razor sharp talons and beak make them formidable predators and

even monkeys and sloths, resting in trees, are not safe from this large, swift, eagle.

Anybody see the footage of the Harpy Eagle snatching a full-grown sloth out of the tree-tops? :shock: The sloth was so heavy that the eagle dropped down dramatically while trying to get lift. However, the predator prevails, flying off with its prize.The sloth can be seen reaching, slowly, for anything to grab, while the talons of the Harpy remain firmly entrenched in its chest. :eek: What a trip, to see.It was said to be the only such footage. Harpy...nice pickup.

 
We seem to have a little lull, so here are some updates that you may have missed:1. Time allotments for your choices have been stricken from the rules. Just hurry up. (See details on page one)2. I will no longer pre-approve an animal before you draft it. The approval/penalty will come AFTER your selection3. All owners are required to draft one bird.4. Several species have been closed (see page one).

 
Goat made a valiant effort to back up his pick so I'm not going to assign him a Bilby, nope - he gets a cool animal that has a lot going for it, especially name recognition.

Introducing the next member of Goat's team:

The Tasmanian Devil*

A tough little guy with funky charm - funky charm is the key.

*Of course - this is subject to comish's approval.

 
I can't determine if the wait for my replacement pick is a good thing or a bad thing.Edit: Well, there ya go! Kick ###!

"They will eat anything lying around no matter how old and rotten," it appears from the articleWatch your Russian Brides, gentlemen.

 
Mrs. Lindsay's First Grade Class actually weighed in on the Black Panther/Leopard controversy:"A black leopard has often been called a black panther. It is more common in Asia. The markings and their color help hide them. The black leopard eats antelopes, deer, rodents, birds, monkeys and fish. It is endangered."

I screw up and get a paraplegic one inch monkey, nearly the equivalent of the NCAA death penalty, and since then the punishments have really trailed off. He gets a cool animal for his punishment?

As are a few picks I have lined up. You know what that means? It means if you try to kill it, I've got the U.N. on my side in the fight.
 
The Taz seems just. Goat's still screwed, as that thing'll just get stepped on or eaten or something, but at least it'll give a good account of itself. :thumbup:

 
NOTICE

Beginning later this month, I am proud to announce that I will be hosting the

Ugliest Professional Athelete Draft

Same format as this draft, owners will compete to assemble the eight ugliest atheletes to ever get paid for participating in a sport.

Start culling the internet for pics, and get your letters of application for entry (and/or bribes) ready, because I won't be coddling the owners next time around.

Strangely fitting, I suppose, that my replacement pick came from the website of a person known only as "Sassy."Serves me right for referencing a high-school page in my haste. :)

No it wasn't a shot at you. You are the leader of this team and I expect that almost sociopathic rage to be an example to the others. Just seeing if I could lobby for a little increased damage on a competitor.

Forget the fact that I declined an earlier offer as a GM here... :yes: My role as a sideline reporter to you all -- offering expert insight on beasts such as the Harpy and Orca -- will be suspended, unless I get some ### #### feedback now and again! :hot: :rant: :considersfreeagentmarketforGMpositionagain:

:pattingonhead:You're an excellent sideline reporter and you're a very important person here. The insight you provide is invaluable to my ability to measure up my team to the others.
 
Commish thinks the Taz Devil would beat any of the 156.780,021 species of Poison Arrow Frogs in a one on one death match - as long as the taz didn't try and perform oral sex on the frog.Verdict- Goat comes out way ahead on this penalty.
