Default Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread

Mac,

The scientific research which you have cited is convincing and I am finding myself having to review and question my earlier decisions. The delightful woman, Ms. Fyre, offers first hand evidence in support of the view that the item in question is in fact a Moustache, but her subsequent statements throw doubt upon impartiality of her testimony. Given these doubts, the court should consider accepting the Woolly Caterpillar explanation for the observed phenomenon.

Members of the court will clearly wish to know the grounds upon which Ms. Fyre has lost her accreditation as an unbiased observer and may be shocked to learn that she shares anti-Canadian views with the questionable Mr. Tigga. However, she has slandered the “large black furry hat like objects found on the militia on a small island”, exposing her true colours. For those of you who are unaware, these hats are of Canadian origin, as the English exterminated all wild bears on their island by the Middle Ages. While bear baiting continued as a popular sport (continued in modern form as Tigga baiting), these animals were European imports.

As such, Ms. Fyre has clearly indicated that she harbours latent anti-Canadianism and we must take her views with this in mind. Given the widespread anti-Canadianism present in the media today, the figure skating scandal being but one example, it is not surprising to find it occurring in witnesses of the court. Moreover, Ms. Fyre is clearly of otherwise good character and loves small children, so this member of the jury is inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to her.

As such, I will confirm my declaration that the object in said photo is in fact a Moustache and not a Woolly Caterpillar. Those who wish to look upon this logic with condescension may go and have condensation fall upon them.

Saxon and company,
I am sure that Ms. Fyre will address "hat" issue in due time. She and I have discussed this item and I can assure you she in no way ment to cast asspersions upon the our noble neighbors, the Nation of Canada.
If I interpretted it correctly, it does seem she was indicating a personal preferance for the style of head gear I have a predeliction to.
None the less I am biased and leave it to those present to carefuly read the phrase again and note the structure of the sentace.

In all deferance to M'Lady Fyre, I must agree with the Honorable Saxon as to the possible biasedness in regards to the furry criter inhabiting the upper torso of The Gryphin. Since the Good Lady is associated with the Gryphin her testimony is suspect, no offense intended M'Lady,
therefore, I must stand by the scientific evidence in regards to the Wooly Bear. It also strengthens my hypothisis that there are those out there that in fact are taken in or become enchanted with small furry, cute, and fuzzy creatures that become attached to a host. In regards to the questions of the Blk hats, I must demur a response, as I currently do not possess sufficient knowledge at the present to encampus a proper comment upon the question as put foreward by members of this forum.

M'Lady, I agree banter is all in jest and is not intended to flame, imbroil, offend or target anyone or one's state or country maliciously, and look foreward to facilitating the aspects within this thread with yourself as well as all those who wish to join in. Again, I remain your most humble servant. Mac

Not really my good Gyphin. I just jumbled everything together. M'Lady talked about banter being in jest, I agreed, Saxon, yourself and M'Lady talked about blk hats, I just gave a response, etc. I was always taught when addressing a group the Ladies were always addressed first. So you see, my senility is not quite that bad yet, tho my recovery from my injury in regards to my research does slow me down somewhat. (sigh)

Ahh yes Good Sir Mac, I am associated with Sir Gryphin, but I am quite aware of my independence and therefore would tell you, as he will confirm, I am a very fair and honest being. I will not stand for lies, cheats, ignoble acts and basic bullocks-type attitudes. I stand very separate from Sir Gryphin and will not falsely attest to anything, no matter who would benefit, and the subsequent consequences that befall my truthful position are minor to bear, and I do so bear them with glee. <silly smile>

I, having raised two girls, 20 and 19, on my own, am not taken in by ANYTHING “small, furry, cute and fuzzy” especially being a “creature”. I know this involves a long-term commitment, usually involving a veterinarian and large amounts of litter of some type. Being one who is much inundated by various droppings of all nature (being I work for the Commonwealth) I certainly will not take such a creature on. (Men included)

Black hats.. ahh yes… reference to the guards I have seen outside the various encampments in London … no reference to my kind Canadian neighbours, Dear Saxon, for whom I have held close to my heart since they helped the American hostages held in Iran, between 1979-81. “Oh Canada” was, and always is oft on my lips by way of my heart. I thank you for your kindnesses in trusting my judgment on the veracity of the “moustache” situation. No animals are ever harmed while in my view.

Even though I was once employed in a hospital, I feel that injuries as deeply wounding such as yours, are best left to the closest expert (see Mrs. Mac.) Had you not an expert in your life, I would be most pleased to offer assistance. (Refer to my rules above.) Sir Gryphin is most liberally revealing my kindhearted talents … and accommodating demeanor.

Humbly submitted for your perusal, Gryphin’s Fyre
