23 Apr 10 - 12:42 PM (#2892844) Subject: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Little Hawk It's true. I've been driving by golf courses for many years and I have never yet seen a single duck waste his or her valuable time trying to strike a very small hard white ball with a long-handled mallet and get it to go into a very small hole in the ground that is a very long distance away. I think they may be quite a bit smarter than many human beings. ;-) |

23 Apr 10 - 01:33 PM (#2892861) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Little Hawk No hawk has ever been seen to dive upon and sieze a golf ball either, whether or not the ball was in flight or on the ground at the time. This leads to an obvious conclusion. The occasional hawk has attacked a golfer, however! Further obvious conclusion. ;-) |

23 Apr 10 - 05:37 PM (#2892982) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Ed T Not only can hawks see greater distances than humans, but their visual acuity (the ability to see clearly) is eight times that of humans...an obvious advantage in mainstream Golf (take that Tiger)and in Ontario, Canada inspired "Guano Golf". In many animal species the males are larger and stronger, but in hawks the difference in size between the sexes is reversed, and females are larger (take that "extremely" Little Hawk :). Because they are predators, hawks have historically been regarded by many people as vermin (editors note, not sure about "in Mudcat"). In the past, they were seen as wanton killers - cruel and harmful creatures....No wonder they are not considered social golfers by the "Upper Canadian Gentry". |

23 Apr 10 - 06:16 PM (#2893013) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Little Hawk I've always taken pride in being on the smaller side. It has allowed me to avoid the notice of rabid fans and stalkers. I simply turn sideways, and they can't see me! ;-) (unless I stick out my tongue...and then they mistake me for a zipper...) Yes, I am well aware that female hawks are larger and stronger than male hawks. That's okay with me. I've always figured that females ought to rule the world anyway. It would be a far better place if they did, in my opinion. (not perfect, mind you...just better than it is now) |

I thought you said "icthyophallic". I live with a golf course right beyond my back yard and see men out there from early Spring to late Fall beating their balls with clubs. Women do it, too. |

23 Apr 10 - 08:28 PM (#2893123) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Rapparee I suspect Quackers eschew golf because the prey is hard, thick skinned, stringy and rubbery. I personally find a 20-bore shotgun best for shooting them, but there's so little to them and what there is tastes so terrible that I no longer hunt them. |

24 Apr 10 - 04:31 AM (#2893275) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Gurney I understand that the appellation 'golf' was chosen because all the other four-letter words were taken. 'A marriage of hawks' is a description of a situation where a small husband bosses a large wife. I read that somewhere, by someone famous. Gives rise to speculation why LH chose the pen-name. So, what do dullard mallard eschew? Dullard Mallard! What a name for a group! |

24 Apr 10 - 10:15 AM (#2893405) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Little Hawk Strangely enough, Gurney, the "hawk" analogy doesn't work at all in my case. I've always been attracted to really small women, that is...women who are at least as small as I am, hopefully, but preferably a bit smaller. I absolutely do not want to "boss around" a large woman. In fact, I shudder at the notion of being entangled in such a relationship. Note my attraction to Winona Ryder, for instance... I had one girlfriend who was so small that one of my cousins uncharitably asked if she was "a dwarf". (He was being a smartass...) I chose the name because it's a Native American one...and it was a very common name for Native American men as a matter of fact. Crazy Horse had a younger brother named Little Hawk. He was killed in a battle with the Crow as far as I recall...or perhaps the Pawnee. |

For she's a fine big woman, she's one you couldn't tame, and by this time tomorrow, she'll possess my name. I feel so dreadful nervous, I don't know what to do, for tomorrow I'll be buckled under twelve stone two! Bob Davenport is not tall, either. Native Americans, hunters and observers, would be well aware of the dominating masculinity of the male hawk, I should think. |

25 Apr 10 - 12:15 AM (#2893818) Subject: RE: BS: Perspicacious Quackers eschew golf From: Little Hawk Native Americans admired all raptors, I think, but they named people after pretty much every kind of animal that was out there...although certain animals were very popular when it came to naming people. Each animal embodied one or more archetypes of human behaviour and ability. The hawk was seen to be a messenger from Spirit to Earth, and was also noted for the ability to see things at a great distance. |

"Large metropolitan cities such as New York value very thin women; in contrast, small, rural towns prefer full-figured, fertile adult women" "Men, in general, don't judge women as being fat or thin. Rather, men tend to consider women with a 70% waist-to-hip ratio to be beautiful. E.g., a woman with a 21-inch waist and 30-inch hips, a woman with a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hips, and a woman with a 28-inch waist and 40-inch hips are equally attractive.[6] The 70% or higher waist-to-hip ratio, and the Golden ratio (62% waist-height-to-total-height ratio) indicate health and fertility" "In the animal world, females initiate 80% of matings (see Flirting). Males who initiate mating are the males that no female will approach" and.... "Fashion models are thinner than porn stars" http://www.eioba.com/a70149/how_men_select_women |
