The younger of our dogs, who is usually a complete fckwit, was sat next to me just now, when I began reading this post by your good self. As I started to take in the details of your message, I sensed a strange aura from him, then, as I took notice of him in the corner of my eye and turned to look at him, he sat up on his hind legs and appeared to fill with emotion and instinctive reaction.

I'm still in shock at what I witnessed, he appeared to be reading and rereading your post.

Then, with his right paw pointed at the laptop screen, he let out a single sharp and angry bark. I told him to calm down but he was fixated on your avatar and continued to point with his outstretched paw and unblinking stare.

This was an incredibly eerie event.

He's wandered off now, but you might want to take heed regarding my observation. I've never seen him, or any dog, act in such a profound manner.

This actually happened, just five minutes ago. Fact :eek:

I'm in. However, I am changing tactics this year. All those pins I stuck into that model of Stepehn Harper did no good at all.

So, my five are:

Hugo Chavez
Fidel Castro
Nelson Mandela
George Bush Snr.
Margaret Thatcher (Joker)

So in the first of occasional league tables,

DBD33 in the lead with 116 points, followed by jonboye with 58.

All of the rest of us are SOL.

cheekymonkey has self handicapped by not providing a joker. Heres to more celebrity deaths as the year goes on...

Does anyone think that, with regard to Chavez, points should be withheld until it is proven that he died this year?

(Eagerly anticipating dbd's wheels falling off :popcorn:)

How disappointing. :( I thought I'd be in the non-zero group by now, but then that bleeding Queen got over the shits.

Shit.
