***WHC IX 2nd round: game 7***

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Another intriguing match up. Neither have won the tournament or even made the final but both are very solid competitors who with the right backing could go all the way. Only one will be going to the quarter finals this year though. Who will it be?

A relatively late entrant to WHC (his first appearance was in WHC VII) he nevertheless has gained a significant support base. It's easy to see why: ridiculously aggressive(to the point that it will cannibalise any other G.M it finds in its territory). They don't merely hunt, they stalk their prey which consists of anything from insects up to poisonous snakes and scorpions as well as other mice. They defend their huge (28 acres) territory with an unmatched ferocity and even find the time to howl like wolves while doing so. In short it's a cannibal mouse that eats poisonous beasts, will fight anything, howls like a madman and has an unmatched ferocity.

This little aussie ******* is tough as nails. He's small but very muscular, has great agility and speed, can climb and swim and will eat anything up to small kangaroos. He has been known to dig up the carcass of dead horses and will devour every part of a small mammal.

Hardest choice of the competition so far...

Some tactical voting required here Badgeristas.

The Grasshopper Mouse is my new favourite. I can see it going all the way if it gets through this tough round.

 

[Mellotron]

Big fan of the Grasshopper Mouse. An animal that small trying to command 28 ACRES?! That's superb against-all-odds hardness. Easily got my vote and I hope it goes far.

 

[beefypigeon]

I'm undecided on this one. Both have great hardness credentials, I'll hold off on voting for now.

Surely the closest match-up of the competition so far?

 

[atomised]

The mouse. That sort of territory for a creature so small

 

[Pevenseagull]

Ounce for ounce the mouse is a proper headcase ... no brainer

 

[Surf's Up]

Mouse every time

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

whilst the tazzie sounds like a dream fit for the latter stages of the contest I can't look past the mouse

Seeing as though the SHRIMP appears to be heading out, I'm FIRMLY in TEAM MOUSE.

What a nasty little ****tard

Serious question: which of those attributes actually renders a Tasmanian devil "tough as nails" or hard? Or any creature come to that?

small - so is Toyah Willcox
very muscular - so is Madonna, in a stringy sort of way
has great agility and speed - Mo Farah?
can climb and swim - well, even I can do that
will eat anything up to small kangaroos - if you put a small kangaroo in front of me, I'd happily do that too
has been known to dig up the carcass of dead horses - that's not hard, just a bit weird.
will devour every part of a small mammal - making good use of your resources and not wasting anything. Every top chef and Anthony Worrall-Thompson recommends doing that

Good move for this round - may I suggest you investigate the mighty Mellivora Capensis as being a suitable recipient of your vote in future rounds??

You're comparing a big rat sized animal to a succession of different humans?

I'm comparing a series of "not hard" characteristics with examples of them not being hard in practice. And it's debatable whether Madonna is human any more (have you seen her recently?).

To be fair, I wouldn't mess with big rat-sized animal Anthony Worrall-Thompson.

Sounds like nobility to me, probably be in the House of Lords next.

 

[Seagull27]

Nice to see [MENTION=3719]The Tassie Seagull[/MENTION] has joined us.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

"He has been known to dig up the carcass of dead horses". That's not hard - that's just pikey.
