Running? It’s a moon or two since I ran anywhere. Anyway, it’s Omni that likes to dangle his bits in the country.

9 Cranky LaoWai[/quote]

[quote=“Alleycat”]9. … vandalize road signs that use Hanyu Pinyin.
Maoman[/quote]
You guys have both got it all wrong. Cranky and I only vandalize the Tongyong signs. :smiling_imp:

I’m offended. You got me and Okami mixed up.

  1. MaPo (Blueface’s isn’t secret).
  2. I’m damned if I know.
  3. That sounds most like Fred Smith to me.
  4. Closet Queen?
  5. El Tigre, for sure.
  6. Juba.
  7. Broonale.
  8. Sandman’s a canny one.
  9. Hobart.
  10. Wolfie.

So what’s my prize then, Almas? A frolic up on Yangmingshan with the Forumosan of my choice? That would be an easy choice to make, if she hasn’t already gone back to England.

Toy poodles are for the likes of Thurston Howell III’s wife Lovey.
Real men own standard poodles.

Nah! I like and admire RR, but I don’t have any posters of anyone, unless you count the very small photo of Jerry Garcia that I have taped onto our ice box.

You’re wading through it now mate. Although “manure” usually refers to horse dung I think it’s fine to use it in a broader sense. I know my shit. :laughing:

Anyway, you blokes did well so here are the answers prematurely.

Which Forumosan is most likely to …

  1. … have a secret underground bunker full of high-powered firearms.
    [color=darkred]I was thinking of MaPo. (BlueFace666 is also a more than acceptable answer).[/color]

  2. … say “I prefer the term ‘amateur beer taster’”
    [color=darkred]Alan is right, it’s me. I’ll take Tigerman, but he’s a Pro. Actually, I’ve been on a low-beer diet since I moved to Taipei.[/color]

  3. … use the expression “food chain”.
    [color=darkred]One of Ironlady’s favorite expressions when talking about red tape and regs; she often says things like “go higher up the food chain.” I wonder how she is getting on in the U.S.[/color]

  4. …own a poodle.
    [color=darkred]I had Closet Queen in mind. Not a sissy perfumed poodle I’m sure, rather a half-poodle, half-bear Alaskan one that makes other dogs his bitch. I didn’t realize Alleycat had one. :wink: [/color]

  5. … have a poster of Ronald Reagan.
    [color=darkred]Yeah, Fred Smith would be the best choice, but there are other possible answers.[/color]

  6. … attend a peace rally.
    [[color=darkred]i]Juba, Fox, and I can accept Mother T as an answer.[/i][/color]

  7. … say “Aye, she was a big sweaty lass and she fair squeezed the fooking life out of me.”
    [color=darkred]Broon Ale, but it’s easy to imagine Hexuan or Sandy saying it. Or me!![/color]

  8. … be seen running stark-naked around the hills of Yangmingshan.
    [color=darkred]Could really only be Omni. From his posts it seems the lad likes to commune with Mother Earth by running around with his dangly bits in the breeze. I hope Muzha Man has put a warning in the new Lonely Planet book for any potential visitors to the park. [/color]

  9. … vandalize road signs that use Hanyu Pinyin.
    [color=darkred]Hobart, staunch defender of Taiwanese independence. [/color]

  10. … dump a truckload of manure on the doorsteps of the Taipei Times.
    [color=darkred]Wolf, probably helped by Brian Kennedy and Monkey. [/color]

Chung.

Stop me if I’m wrong, because I was drunk when I first spotted it and hungover the next time, but wasn’t the little dog accompanying Quirky to the Mao nuptuals and the brunch the next day a poodle?

My God, it’s worse than I thought. The poodlefication of Forumosa is well underway. What’s happening folks? Did David Beckham get a poodle?

You moved to Taipei?? No wonder I haven’t seen you around lately!

JA:

They kept it after it ate the cat.

Now what’s wrong with having one of these???
