I’m an American and I hunted quite a lot when I was younger. (Always birds, though I never used dogs.)

I can’t imagine wanting to hunt a raccoon. Shooting them to keep them out of the trash? Yes. Training a dog to find them so I could shoot them? No.

I was tempted to answer that question: Humans, but clever is not a quality that serves one well in the feud. (No offense, **swampbear**.)  
On reflection I see you were referring to rabbits which I also cannot see myself hunting as they are just hoppy rats.

::Man the pie catapult! _Kaboing_::

Yeah, I hit \*\*gonzo \*\*right in the face 😃

Glad to see you back where we belong (even if I’m taking a slightly more elevated position).

Bummer, I would have liked to play this one! But (oddly enough) I was busy nursing a **cat**.

I’ll play just for fun and see (approximately) how I would have done.

1. Rottweiler
2. Westminster!
3. Chihuahua
4. Hearing assistance
5. Jack Russell terrier
6. Rex
7. Trixie
8. Snoopy
9. Foxes
10. 15 years  
ETA: Only 215?? (Giving myself 2 for matching the singleton “Trixie.”) Crap, I’m going to have to turn in my dog-lover card . . .

Tenth place? Woohoo! And I haven’t had a dog in almost 20 years.

What’s the correct answer to the last question?

Maybe you’ve just been barking up the wrong tree.

But I didn’t say “Wabitz”  
Our local news has a reporter originally from Sri Lanka. She talks exactly like Elmer Fudd. It drives me nuts, so much I leave the room every time she does a story.

One day, Jennifer agreed to show Les her boobs if he would take off the band-aid he had on his left eye brow. “Oh no,” said Les, “Mother told me not to.”

“But look at this fine rack,” said Jennifer, standing in profile.

“Well, just once couldn’t hurt,” said Mr. Nessman.

On removing the Band-aid, a sputtering sore was revealed which spewed noxious fumes.

“What the hell is that?” cried Jennifer.

“A fartle, of course,” said Les.

“Well there is no way I’m showing you my boobs, ya freak!”

Les replaced the Band-aid and sulkingly pantomimed walking into his office and closing the door behind him.

Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t remember it.

No, I don’t remember it. The running gag was always that he had been attacked by his pet dog.

Top 5!

_God I loved Les Nessman._

Well smack me with a rolled up newspaper and send me out into the cold. #50. No Snausages for me.
