You do seem to be right, even in the protected area of my draws, the Y-front is dying off and being replaced by the more exotic forms.
I was walking along the path deep into my 'Y' reserve, when I found an albino Y. I was so pleased that the old speice had not died out. In modern day when Y are being breed for colour it is good to see Ys as nature intended them.
Last week when the cold snow touched the ground I saw a pair of greater Ys. It has been years since I saw them this far south.
Has anyone else seen them this year?
Why, yes , I'm suprised you didn't know they have made something of a comeback out here in the wilds of Shropshire...
...it began when we shooting folk got a little bored with blasting the stuffing out of pheasants bred in captivity. These creatures are so tame that you have to pick them up and 'rugby style' drop -kick them into the air so your mates can get a half challenging shot (that's how Johnny Wilkinson keeps getting injured-we shout 'higher Johnny', the young fellow strains his physique and 'twang', there goes another Hamstring). Anyway, we tried shooting badgers-but we all need a decent shaving brush so we left them alone. We tried shooting fish-that was fun, waiting for those big Salmon to leap up over the weir and...wahoo! We had to stop after the unfortunate situation with the Police Diver. We even tried shooting Ramblers, which was possibly the most fun of all-you just can't miss them with those orange kagools and brightly coloured bobble-hats. But, the country needs Librarians and Folk Singers-so we were ordered to let them be.
Then, one day, all the Land Rovers were gathered in a car park-well, you have to find somewhere for the dogs to shit, can't let them do it on good farmland-when we saw something skulking in a bush. 'Bang', we let fly and bagged the creature-or thought we had. When we sent the Labrador to collect it the creature, which had been feigning death, leapt up on the dog's head, depositing a stream of deadly, five week old shit into its eyes, and wrapping its evil extremities around its head, before sliding off into the undergrowth. We knew we'd wounded it, but our poor Labrador was dead and we were frightened of following without our four -legged guide (and besides, we couldn't find the Labour politician which the dog was always attached to).
So, we went home to regroup, and find out what the beast was. After much googling-we didn't use Lycos because it reminded us too much of the poor dog-we discovered that we had encountered none other than the 'Ancient Piss-stained Y -Front' (shitnicus grandadus)', considered extinct, but obviously extant in the wildernesses that are Shropshire's car parks.
We decided to hire a wildlife expert from the television, funny little bespectacled fellow with a beard and a high voice-let's call him 'Odd Billie' for the sake of his anonymity. He quickly tracked down several breeding groups, all festering away happily, and trapped several pairs before taking them away for a 'captive-breeding' programme. This was a great success, and it wasn't long before several hundred pairs were released into the wild under a strict licensing regime administered by Marks& Spencer. We are allowed to shoot a limited number-no more than the 'eqivalent of a mini-bus load of Civil Servants' per annum.
But, what sport, our shooting pleasure is greater than ever. Mind you, we have had to breed a new dog to match the ferocity of the quarry-(actually, that's merely what we are telling the police: we are actually buying crazed Pit Bulls from Yardie Gangsters as they are the only dogs capable of surviving the encounters). I have taken several of my 'kills' home and had them stuffed and mounted on the wall. It's funny, whenever I ask a young lady if she would like to 'come home, take down my Y-Fronts and see where the Pit Bull grabbed hold'...they always have something else to do.....
On reading the above tears began to roll down my face, if poor pololady reads this I do not know what she well do! For myself I can not believe the inhuman behavior of the hunting class. I am even know arranging for more fencing to keep the hunters out of my reserve, the location of which is a closely guarded secret.
...and may I remind you that in is only legally to hunt the fancy Ys. The wild from are protected. So hands off the white ones, and please trap the fancy Y, then 'put them down' with care so as not to cause pain.
I have found tracks in my Y-front reserve. I think I will have to stay up tonight and see if I can find out what it is. I do hope it is not harmful to the 'Ys', so few of them about know a days.
I stayed up all last night. Then I found the 'thing' It was around a Y choking it. I dashed towards the thing and chased it. Finally I cornered it and clubbed it to death. Then I hung it on a pole as a warning.
Sorry - couldn't resist after seeing your post on the other thread ;-)
Oh, I know it was getting a bit thin towards the end....but others did better than I.
