12 Apr 06 - 12:32 PM (#1716238) Subject: RE: BS: When it was okay to play with gnus From: Bill D I knew this fellow who wanted a 'different' pet...so he looked all over, including wild animals parks for something interesting to adopt. Finally, he discovered a place who had a Wildebeest who was getting on in years, and needed extra care and was in danger of being 'put down'. Well, his sympathies were aroused, so, having a ranch with some space, he offered to adopt the poor thing and care for it. It generally prospered with extra care, and seemed to be doing so well that the guy thought he'd try some interesting training...so he made a little obstacle course, and attempted to show his new pet how to jump a fence, run thru a tunnel, and slide down a slide. Sadly, this proved a bit much for the elderly old thing.....so he thought maybe some simple stuff like begging, rolling over, or playing dead would be easier. He tried for weeks, but the bewildered Wildebeest just stood there, waiting for feeding time and being uncooperative. Being a kind soul, the man finally gave up and just petted 'ol Rover..(did I mention he had named it Rover?) and fed it and allowed it to wander happily about his yard for the rest of its days.... The guy was, of course, mildly disappointed that the training had not worked out, but he managed to console himself when he remembered the old adage.... "You can't teach an old Gnu dog tricks." |

Gnus are frequently guilty of "PWI" (Posting While Intoxicated). If you are playing with a gnu and you say something to him and his reaction seems to have come from someplace way out in left-field, he's probably knee-walking drunk.

When Afric's sun is sinking low, And shadows wander to and fro, And everywhere there's in the air A hush that's deep and solemn; Then is the time good men and true With View Halloo pursue the gnu; (The safest spot to put your shot is through the spinal column). To take the creature by surprise We must adopt some rude disguise, Although deceit is never sweet, And falsehoods don't attract us; So, as with gun in hand you wait, Remember to impersonate A tuft of grass, a mountain-pass, A kopje or a cactus. A brief suspense, and then at last The waiting's o'er, the vigil past; A careful aim. A spurt of flame. It's done. You've pulled the trigger, And one more gnu, so fair and frail, Has handed in its dinner-pail; (The females all are rather small, The males are somewhat bigger). -- P. G. Wodehouse. |

Was never new. Oh, what an AIRBORNE Gnu could do! One night, as Cow and Ewe and Roo Discoursed with him on ground-based Gnus He had an inspiration: GLUE Could help him soar into the blue His friends seemed MORE than pleased ('tis true) To smear their spunky chum in goo And soon Hugh's hue shined like a shoe Deep dipped in dripping Daring-Do Then chicken feathers, all askew Were stuck onto the sticky Gnu Who climbed high when the day was new To LEAP and BEAT this Gnu taboo Hugh flapped, and jumped, and Yelled out "FOO!" When earth made a hard rendevous But stubborn like an old tattoo He climbed again, to fall anew When falls had reached some 32 The aches and pains HAD to accrue Hugh's body felt no longer new He muttered "ouch!" He sobbed "boo hoo." He took one final look (or two) Of space that he could not pursue Knowing that his Gnu debut Had simply left Gnu residue A lesson learned: One hard but true The land is perfect for the gnu And now Hugh's outlook took its cue From just how pretty was his view The mountains, streams, and grasslands too Shone bright with light in morning dew And were as beautiful below, as through The eyes of animals that flew. The Cow, the Ewe and Kangaroo Picked off Hugh's feathers three by two He said one smiling, light "adieu" Then went home, not to stew But stew. Copyright; Bob Pladek |

19 Apr 06 - 10:25 PM (#1722425) Subject: RE: BS: When it was okay to play with gnus From: Bill D Ode to the Gnu The gnu is quite a placid beast. Of all God's creatures, not the least Nor the most, in size or scope. He has no use for lengths of rope And will not frolic in the sea, Or even deign to climb a tree If by a lion he's predated. The gnu is quite uncomplicated. His looks are somewhat less than fair, And so for looks he has no care. In fact, I doubt he thinks a jot Or worries much about his lot. © Darryn 'crash' Roberts 2006 |

Songs like Tom Paxton's ...gnus, gnus, ain't that gnus, Ain't that somethin' to see, Gnus, gnus, talk about your gnus, That's might good gnus to me. and Phil Ochs album "All the Gnus That's Fit to Sing" and even Simon & Garfunkel's song "Seven O'Clock Gnus/Silent Night." |

The gnus of the glanding was a tonic for a weary world. John and Martin and Bobby had all been gnued down in their prime. Jimi and Janice and Jim Morrison and Brian Jones would soon depart this world but not one of them was a gnu sniffer. |

In the words of the BareNaked Ladies, "Its all been done... before. But if we apply ourselves we can add diferent flavourings, gnuances, if you will, to existing puns. This gnu milieux come out of the blue through thought so thoroughly tried true with gnuance can seem fresh and gnu. |

22 Apr 06 - 01:43 PM (#1724765) Subject: RE: BS: When it was okay to play with gnus From: gnu As this thread will wind down in the near future, as all threads do, I think it may be time to gnucleate. The gnucleus of this thread is not a gnudnik, gnudzh, gnudzh, wink wink. Nay, far from gnugatory, this gnugget is no gnuisance. Certainly not a gnull character, and far from gnumb. Granted, a bit of a gnumskull by times, but gnumen at times, although seldom. I do not purport to be gnumious, rather, only gnummular, well gnummular. And, as always, gnuts. I guess that's about it, in a gnutshell. gdaygnu |

How pleasant in winter to sit by the hob Listening to the sounds and the bark of a dog Or in summer to wander the wide valleys through And to pick the wild flowers in the May morning gnu Summer is coming, Oh, Summer is near With the leaves on the trees and the sky blue and clear And the small birds are singing their fond notes so true And the wild flowers are springing in the May morning gnu The house I was born in is but a stone on a stone And all round the garden the weeds they have grown And all the fine neighbours that ever I knew Like the red rose have perished in the May morning gnu. God be with the old folk, they are all dead and gone And likewise my brothers, young Denis and John As we tripped thrugh the heather, wild hares to pursue Our joys they did mingle in the May morning gnu |
