Just out of curiiosity, has anyone else seen the ads for the upcoming
Aliens Comic Book called
"Aliens:The Pig"?

IIRC Ted McKeever is doing the art, and the premise is that the marines
strap a nuke to a baby pig, and send it in via remote control to detonate a
hive! :-)

Sort of a Babe vs. Aliens type thing.

I'm dying to do this to my players.
I already have Bull worried about exploding Devil Rats! :-)
Baby Pigs would really cause nightmares.

Nope, no joke, Dark Horse has been soliciting for this baby for about a
month now.
Looks like it's the real deal.
Hey, they did an Archie vs. Punisher comic, why not Piglet vs. Alien Queen?

Careful Bull doesn't report you to the AGVBAF (Anti Gratuitous Violence
to Baby Animals Fund). I hear they get quite nasty.

Hah!

One of Tinner's favorite games is a little cut-out game out of an old White
Wolf magazine, or some such magazine, called "The Seven Seals of Satan", in
which the bad guys are, well, Seals, including Baby Seals... You play a
bunch of Seal Clubbers... It's fun to Club the Baby Seals...:]

Anyways, all I know is he better try doing this one with a different
group... We'll kill him...:]

Ah yes, the Seven Seals of Satan!
Wonderful little thing, reminds me of the old SJG Pocket games.
Fun, fun, fun clubbing cute defenseless critters!
At least you didn't tell them about my hat!

Has anyone seen "Prairie Dog Hunt"? It's a shareware game for Windows.
You get to watch cute little prairie dogs pop out of their holes and go
*splat* when you hit them with a shotgun. I've got it around
here....somewhere.

I was being nice...

After all,... there may be some environmentalists on the list...

But... Did you know Baby Seal fur is VERY soft and warm?

I've got that here at home. Very good for a diversion, or when you just
need to blow something away.
