See now, I noticed the Eldest Briston had his pic added to the photo thread and thought “He seems so reasonable lookin’…for a sheep lover.” ---

Himself? Oh, this is not gonna end well. Actually, Hal confirmed the accuracy of the prophesying in [post 50](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6551686&postcount=50). There’s even a [song in his honor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCRE9qOgbug&feature=fvw). Well, perhaps not _specifically_ in his honor, but you get the idea. I gotta give Hal credit, though - he’s put up with a ton of chain-jerking over the years and has come through it all with only a sheepish look on his face. 😃 ---

I don’t believe I just sat here and read that entire 8 page thread. I’m laughing so hard… and still don’t know why no one mentioned Tom Smith’s Death Sheep From Hell. Fenton would be a worthy adversary. 😃 ---
