I have recently downloaded a game called JARINAINS. I am not going to tell you where because the game is EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! It is an infringemnet of all that is right and proper and a complete indignity to all Gnomekind!

Whatever you do do not play it. Do not download it. Write to your MP, Senator, Congresman, Madam or Pusher but GET IT BANNED!

Thank you in anticipation.

Cheers ;-)

Aha ! By my Inspector Clouseau-style processes of deduction, I reckoned this game must have been originally *French*, and I've found it here, spelt : Jardinains (i.e. something to do with garden gnomes):

JARDINAINS

I have no intention of playing the game - but can I claim some sort of prize for finding it for you ?

Merci !

Maybe we could talk the game's author into a special Mudcat version with gargoyles instead of gnomes.

I had a gnu once, got him from an exptic animal farm that was going out of business...he was pretty smart, but he was getting on in years. I had thought he & I could share our time together better if I could get him to learn little tasks like bringing in the newspaper, chasing away intruders and maybe even some stunts like rolling over, playing dead and walking on his hind legs......but it wasn't to be. He was either too stubborn or he knew it was beyond his abilities since he was not young enough....I guess you can't teach an old Gnu dog tricks.

"Splatter The Gnome" sounds like a heavy metal band. Maybe they can play in the Super Gnome sometime.

Didn't Tom Paxton write a song about gnus? Something like "Gnus, gnus, talk about your gnus/That's mighty good gnus to me"?

Not to detract from the merryment, but, we have atradition here in the USA. No published work may be banned. You don't have to play it or read it if it offends, and you may not ban anything.

this principal is outlined in the first ammendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

I think the game should be renamed "petits bâtards de snide". I hate the little flowerpot-chunkin' sumbitches. It gives me great pleasure to shoot them with the lasergun while they are in the mid-bounce. It's not worth any extra points. I just like to hear 'em squeal.

A gnome in Nome was headed home,
After a day at the Zoo,
The wind was rough, and cold and blough,
But could see it threw...
Still, at the Zoo,
The new Gnu, he knew,
Was having it quite tuff.

Next day, he vowed, he'd ask the crowed
That gathers there, to vough the Gnu
As others dough, and donate with a view
Of buying this poor frigid beast
A mough to warm its nose and houghs,
And mitigate its cough.

Sigh...

I knew there were some evil people about, but on the Mudcat? I ask you. What is this world coming to?

Ah well. As long as I know where I stand. About 4' under everyone else that is:-)

Talking about Gnu's. Being a traditionalist I must tell one of my favourite old jokes.

Q. What noise does a gnu make?

A. Bnag!

Got to go now. Mrs G want's to play some game she has found on the computer. Don't know what it is but she always comes of giggling manicaly and humming something that sounds nearly but not quite like the hall of the mountain king...

TAKE IT OUT TO THE WOODSHED

Did you know that gnomes make a pleasing and festive dish when served with the correct sauce?

All authorities agree that there are no plates like gnomes with the hollandaise.
