I would be more than willing to help you catch it, if it has gray tusks, then we each get one really crappy wish, like a coupon to cduniverse or something like that, or so i hear ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

Yea, I heard that too. My friends and I go climb on the poison controll center smoke some weed and then go hunt it evry friday night. So far the score is man-bear-pig:3 Us:0.00625 ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

maybe you guys would be better off catching the man-bear-pig and then asking it for some weed, it would make the catching part easier and you would get some free reefers out of it, if it didn't kill you while you were stoned that is.

We never thought of that... I think it would also help if we were armed with more than just pointy sticks, and hand crafted pipes. (made out of hollowed out wood and pens) ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

well, I recommend using a net crafted from the beard of bearded woman, wish-granting-creatures are mildly allergic to woman-facial hair; it worked when I captured that pond nymph ( oh yes!) in the creek behind my house - you can guess what I spent my wishes on ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

grossssssssssssss...  but its worth it for a good crappily semi-magical net that requires frequent duct taping...

shotgun shells, huh never tried that one I usually find that a piece of rotten cabbage tied to a bit of floss with a hook usually does the trick for imps, gnomes however are a different matter. little gnomes stay in their homes eating sleeping and drinking their wine. making them difficult to catch ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

except one day, hurray another way for gnomes to... errrm well, I find that mole traps smeared with the sweat of a beautiful woman who hasn't had cosmetic surgery usually does the trick, but that can be even harder to obtain than female facial hair... but i find that gnomes just typically aren't worth the bother, the last time my friend caught one, he asked for a girlfriend and the dumb thing made a blow-up doll out of wood for him... talk about rip-off - he still would have had his girlfriend if he hadn't stolen her sweat ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

This talk of catching creatures got me thinking that half of the things in the dragon fighting poll dont make sence, what you really need is a half pickled rubarb laced with serintonin ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

hmmm... interesting, I had never considered the magic/scientific reaction of dragons and rubarb (not to mention the seritonin), and I'm an amateur Alchemist!! well... yes, we should organize a dragon hunt! - I bet they've got some pretty good crap in their holes they live in. We can jump a homeless dragon for practice! ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

yeah... I can't think of anyone else awesome enough to join us though... but when we do officially start out, we should take the homeless dragon out for a few drinks before we jump him, because the first rule of robbing the homeless is that drunk hobos are easier to rob than sober ones who have knives maybe we should bring a small, two-headed dwarf with us for good luck ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

yeah we would need a beard net... I lost mine when I tried to catch a real woman with it.

That must have been quite a shock! I would say that does count Jim! 
Shortly after my father died I had the only, what I have since regarded as, supernatural experience in my life. It was early February 1986. My father had died of Cancer, in hospital on January 26th. I was sitting in the kitchen with my friend. It was early evening and it was lightly snowing outside. There was not a breath of wind so the snow was falling vertically and settling on the driveway and lawn. At about 6:30pm, there were three loud knocks at the front door. I made a comment to my friend like 'Why dont they just kick the door in and be done with it' No more than ten seconds later I answered the front door. No one there. Even more strange no footprints in the thin blanket of snow on the drive. Seconds later there was three loud bangs on the living room window. My mum jumped out of her chair and pulled the curtains open. The lounge window looked out over the snow covered front lawn. Again, no foot prints. I stood there baffled for a few moments, then left the house and walked all round the outside of it. There was no sign at all of anyone. Unless someone had perfected levitation, followed by some act of teleportation, or the ability to make themselves invisible, this incident remains unexplained. Confused though I was, it wasn't until my mum said to me that my dad had jokingly told her, a week before he died, that he would pay her a last visit if she wanted him to, because he would love to see the old house one more time. Part of me likes to think it was dad saying hello, but that didn't stop me sh!tting bricks the next time I was home alone!

What about UFO's, do they count as supernatural? If so, just to let you know there are LOADS of those weird balls of light in the sky above the Adriatic sea. Personally, I don't think they're aliens return back to Andromeda after a successful vivisection of surprised farmer's wife, but those light are really weird, and very fast. ------------- |

On a non-dragon related note, I have had many a supernatural experience. Awhile back, I had a dream that was really strange: A crucified skeleton (crown of thorns and everything) looked straight at me and told me that I would kill myself before I turned 35 and that I must die to myself that I might be fulfilled. And then an angel in red landed on the cross and said the word Samael (which I've since learned is the name of either a demon or the angel of death, but means "Venom of God" in Hebrew) and the skeleton burst into flames. Then I woke up and found that I had been bleeding out of my pores.

I am the most un-psychic person in the world - nothing remotely supernatural has ever happened to me at all, despite visiting haunted cellars, dungeons, castles, mansions. I know many (even my cat) who have heard footsteps, tinkling bells, seen and been touched by mysterious phantoms......it's just not fair..

In my military days I was on guard duty watching a bunch C-10's (tankers) on alert. I heard a noise and began to scan the area around the jets when I saw a figure cloaked in flowing white drifting between to aircraft. I jacked a round into my M-16 and called for back-up on my radio. I moved to a position of cover that allowed a view of the area. My flight sergeant showed up and we approached the figure. It dropped to the ground, not very ghost like, and we crept up on him. Obviously it was not a ghost or other supernatural being, but I did experience the thrill/rush of confronting the unknown.
It turned out to be one of my fellow airmen, who thought messin' with the new guy would be fun. I think he got a royal spanking from the flight commander for that one.

I had an interesting dream too: It was 1999, I dreamed my friend M. driving in green car, half-naked. Suddenly, the car starts falling from some cliffs not so far from my suburb, the car is rolling, bouncing, clashing with boulders as it's falling and M. fell out of car, falling on some rocks. Next morning, M. called me and told me he will pick me up in front of my house around 5:00; we were planning to go to a rehearsal (yes, we were playing in the same band, the band that you can find in Unsigned section). He didn't show up. I was waiting until 6, he was not available on the phone, on his house phone his mother told me he left the house at 4:45. He didn't show up on the rehearsal neither. Needless to say, we were are nervous, especially after I told the guys my dream from the last night. Next morning, I hear of him he's in hospital. He stayed there only one day - and when he went back he explained to us what happened: Well, basically it was the story from my dream two nights ago. Okay, he didn't fell from any cliffs, and okay, I knew he was an inexperienced driver who just passed driving test. But he did fell of the car as the car turned on roof multiple times, and the car was green - not the same model as in my dream, but exactly the same shade of green. And he was half-naked, driving only in his short pants (it was summer). He had lots of bruises and scratches, but luckily no broken bones. He was very lucky , I saw the car later - it looked like a chewed jelly. My band mates trust me, I told them about my dream that day when M. didn't show up on a rehearsal, but he doesn't. I guess he's not aware how lucky he was. He is driving more careful now though. ------------- |
