Having won twice previously, the second being a tie with Catfish, and knowing I'm slower on the mouse than Rockfish and El Whacko, I determined to lead from the outset and was on GMT time this time with no confusion! Moreover, having failed twice at "catchup" whack-a-squirrel, leading from the front is the only way for a septuagenarian dolt. Keeping meticulous ongoing track of scoring is useful as well. All credit goes to my bride of 42 years who forgave me my gardening chores to remain in the mancave, at the ready!: This being a naval forum, I have dubbed it: The "Glorious 2nd of June"...you can't get more anglophile than that!!

If I'd only known what your plan was then I'd have let more monkeys out
I was wondering how low I needed to get to be lowest.

Quote:

The Book of St. Squirrel-Chapter 5, Verse 4

“The Lord has revealed unto me a vision unlike that of any others I have seen. Dressed in clothing like that of a divine being, a man with a head of snow hair whacked squirrels day and night. It didn’t matter whether or not the squirrels were tired and had been whacked enough, the man whacked them even more on days nobody thought he would. The squirrels appealed to angels, asking for mercy. The fact that the squirrels even asked for mercy when it was beyond their authority to do so shocked our God the Lord.
He declared: ‘Bound those subservient and devious hairy devils fast in Dudael. May their trees no longer produce acorns. They have gone against my holy plan for the world and have rejected my love. Banish them, Michael, to the likes of where Moloch, Azazel, and Beelzebub are imprisoned!’
And so it was. The squirrels were imprisoned for going against Eichoren, the heavenly whacking deity, who was ordained by God to make it his life’s passion of delivering fun to His creation by whacking squirrels on an online forum’”

The Book of St. Squirrel: Chapter 5, Verse 5-10

A second vision appeared unto me, this time the man with snow-white hair continued whacking squirrels day and night. However, in the darkest depths of Dudael, the ring leader of the Squirrels planned vengeance against the heavenly whacking deity for their banishment. The leader's name was Squcifer. Squcifer had brought his rebellious complaint to the angels of the Lord, which is why he and the other sixty-six squirrels were in Dudael.
Squicfer said to the other squirrels "Go on in my name and flood the Earth with pestilence and excessive extermination bills. Make the humans suffer like I am. For I am angry and I must take revenge."
And so it was. The sixty-six squirrels flooded the Earth with their pestilence and existence and brought great annoyance to the humans. The humans cried to God, "Lord of the Heavens, the squirrels keep eating my donuts and chewing up my paper! They leave droppings in my home and force me to pay overpriced extermination fees to get rid of them! I cannot pay for gas and extermination fees!"

The Lord, the King of the Heavens, was outraged. He turned to Eichhorren and said, "Banish those honorless and disobedient filthy animals to the Cage! May your whacker find every small head. Bring along Aktungabbon, the Destroyer of Squirrels, to be your right-hand man."

Eichhorren found the ring-leader of the squirrels on Earth, Alviel, and said to him:
"You! You lose 100 points, I'll write that down for next time!" and proceeded to bring his holy whacker on top of Alviel, who was smashed back down into Dudael.

After the Heavenly extermination was done, Eichhorren returned with Aktungabbon to Heaven, where they both dominated in crushing squirrels from the safety of online forums.

It's like one of those really bad tattoo (un)likenesses of a famous person



Edit: I just went on Facebook and straightaway saw this, posted by a friend as one of "25 tattoo nightmares" lol

Maybe there's a thread here: "Guess Who?"
