Finishes his mountain of snowballs and starts looking for zette and VB. There’s VB! He sends up a barrage of snowballs. Soon she looks like a snowman. Now, where’d zette go to? He sees Shadowfox and zings the idle one up into the air. * * * I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail. ---

Narile sighs and gets out his five foot homemade Trebuchet and loads it. “Ok…ready…aim…” ## _Ker—chunk_ as a load of snow is flung. \>\>Being Chaotic Evil means never having to say your sorry…unless the other guy is bigger than you.\<\< —The dragon observes ---

Pegs one at Shadowfox still crowing at the top of her hill. She sidesteps it and is silent for a moment while trying to think up a suitable rejoinder, foolishly thinking she can succeed in a battle of wits. Deep in thought, she fails to realize Pluto has skillfully manuevered her directly into the path of Narile’s bucketful of snow. Ka-Sploosh!! Shadowfox’s hairstyle is definitely ruined and her hang glider is buried in the snow! Pluto is gleeful but vigilant – No one is going to sneak up on him unnoticed! ---

As VB digs snow out of his ear, he circles around ShadowFox Hill muttering imprecations against Phouka and mentally plotting her downfall: “Yer dead meat, sister!” * * * VB Remember, you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish! ---

He cradles a handful of snowballs in one arm and starts running towards Sue’s snowfort. Look! The Canadians are finally attacking! He goes down under a hail of Canadian ice balls. (their snowballs froze) * * * I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail. ---

I stick my thumbs in my ears and waggle my mittened hands at VB. “Neener neener neener! Yeah? You and what army, pal?” Then I make a dash for CanadianSue’s fort. Woohoo! This is fun! 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/snowball-fight-with-falcon-phouka/13301.md?page=2)
