Not really. Kermit just read a book by Thomas à Kempis.

At least Kermit wasn't buried alive.

Seems as if you missed the arcane reference.

Far From it. Thomas à Kempis was buried alive.

Indeed he was. But I was referring to his book "Of The Imitation Of Christ" - Why else would Kermit be nailed up?

Kermie's Australian relatives can be useful...

Unlike the toad-bag, this doggy-bag did not involve taxidermy.

We need one of these for Dr. Beaver. Keep him home with the family on the weekends.

I'll hold contributions.

Not for the Doc. As long as it holds still ...

He likes them still, that is worrying!
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 13/08/2008 00:29:56
Indeed. Are there any missing beavers (or other animals of any type) in the area around Doc's ranch? If so, the constabulary should be alerted.

Yep, he gets up my nose, too.
Title: Poor Kermit

I'm in dispute with management and decided to picket.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 14/08/2008 15:16:48
That's what you get for disputing your superiors - stuck out in front of the main battle line standing picket duty.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 14/08/2008 17:36:20
Nah. I was in the forest checking out the trees defences
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 14/08/2008 21:25:16
But your picket post was on the nose of the hill.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 14/08/2008 21:42:31
Yes. I left a couple of Texans up there. They don't know any better.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 15/08/2008 01:31:03
That explains why there has been no attack in that sector. Two Texans are worth a whole battalion of regulars.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 15/08/2008 11:15:23
No. The enemy didn't like the smell.
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 15/08/2008 18:25:59
You have obviously been fed false information. Why have you been consorting with the enemy?

TRAITOR!
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 16/08/2008 10:07:25
No consorting involved. I was watching through my little Beaverscope and saw them turn up their hoses & run away.

Post by: JimBob on 16/08/2008 15:41:11
The wind wasn't even from a direction that would enable the scenario you describe. Going over the Signal Corps wind data it was blowing towards the enemy form a position marked as:
 
"DANGER! - CASTOR HABITAT
BEWARE OF THE STENCH"

Post by: DoctorBeaver on 17/08/2008 11:27:53
Was it fek as like!
Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: JimBob on 17/08/2008 14:29:58
I take that incomprehensible reply, ignoring its vulgarity, as a negation of the statement on wind direction.

Or was it?

I the best you can do when faced with facts shout and curse?

Title: Poor Kermit
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 17/08/2008 18:55:32
For anyone who can actually understand the English language, that reply was not at all incomprehensible. But, as you're American, I shall make allowances.

THAT isn't even close to English unless you just crawled out of a pub.

It's colloquial.

Ah, limited to a small segment of society - in his case one barking mad eccentric Englishman trying to utter a sentence with a small, VERY small, smattering of meaning.

Haven't you ever heard a beaver bark?

Freddy tells me they have created lots of Beaver monsters on Pokemon. One type can chew through stone with their beaver like teeth.

Please do not associate beavers with those animated Japanese mutants!

They are but cheap, second-rate imitations.
