Perhaps I can buy a car from Hans the Ferret and drive to Savings Skunk.

Has anyone played the pc game Wolf Quest? I've played the free edition. I loved it!
Haven't yet, but sounds interesting! Hope my computer can handle the graphics

I played on a s*tty laptop and only had lag during the Winter season.

Nope, but one day, though not a huge gamer, I do wanna sample some 'furry' related/tangential games, when I also have a computer that can handle 'em. Sounds fun!

Here's my own contribution
The story of this naval strike aircraft starts on April 30th 1954, when a ex royal navy frogman by the name of Lionel ‘Buster’ Crabb ‘disappeared’ in Portsmouth harbour. I say ‘Disappeared’ because at the same time there was a Soviet ‘Sverdlov’ class cruiser in port (a ship British intelligence wanted to know far more about) and because a headless corpse that was tentatively identified as Crabb’s washed up on the south coast about a year later. Realising it was probably going to be futile to continue to try and figure out how these ships worked the Royal Navy instead looked at how to wreck them. The Sverdlov outgunned anything in the navy’s arsenal at the time (and a nuclear strike by bomber command with one of their city killing nukes was a little bit too much overkill), so the answer was simple, the navy needed a new strike jet.
The specification was in layman’s terms this:
An aircraft that can launch from a carrier, fly low and fast and accurately deliver a nuclear anti ship bomb to the target.
Enter Blackburn Aircraft Limited.
The company had a bit of a hit and miss record on producing successful naval aircraft and had suffered since the end of the war, reduced to making bread bins at one point. But something about this project seemed to inspire the team at Blackburn.
The Buccaneer had an area ruled fuselage and a ‘T’ tail giving her a unique appearance, in an age where going super sonic was normal the Bucc’ was deliberately subsonic. This gave her the ability to fly lower, smother, further and ironically faster than her supersonic rivals because of her rotating bomb bay that allowed her to carry her payload internally so she wasn’t slowed by ordinance hanging off the wings. Another innovation was the addition of a strip of det cord built into the cockpit canopy to shatter it in the event of a water landing to aid escape, this was seen as a very good idea and incorporated into other aircraft for use in an eject situation.
The initial S1 form was to put it bluntly underpowered, during trials the company took great pains to point out how well it’s air to air refuelling system worked, this was something of a necessity because it was impossible to get one in the air fully fuelled so they had to launch with half full tanks and be topped up in flight.
By 1963 the Rolls-Royce Spey bypass engine was fitted to the buccaneer and it became the ‘Best Low Level Strike Jet In The World’. It was fully capable of flying along, 50 feet above the waves at 500 knots, and it could do that all day and not be subject to the buffering that plagued comparable aircraft. Buccaneer crews flew in the supreme confidence that if they wanted to ruin your day there wasn’t a damn thing you could do to stop them.
Naturally there were incidents, first was XK490, which crashed in October 1959 when a US test pilot attempted to fly the aircraft in a configuration as yet untested and for which he had not been cleared - it stalled at 10,000 ft and with not enough height to recover, both crew were killed when they ejected while inverted shortly before the aircraft impacted the ground. The first prototype was lost in October 1960 when the pilot sensed that the aircraft was rolling without his input and initiated ejection. In fact the artificial horizon had failed and, flying in cloud, the pilot was unable to see the real horizon. Both crew ejected successfully. Next loss was of XK529 - the 13th production aircraft, or aircraft "12A" crashed in Lyme Bay during carrier trials on 31st August 1961, killing the crew. It had over-rotated during a catapult launch, stalled and fallen into the sea.
A handful of aircraft were sold to the south African military were they saw action in the Angolan border war. The British aircraft however looked set to see their entire service without firing a shot in anger (With the exception of the almost war with Guatemala in 1972) but then the first Gulf war happened A number of (now ageing) aircraft were sent out to the gulf to provide laser designation of targets to R.A.F. Tornado squadrons dropping Laser guided bombs (LGB’s), as the conflict continued the Buccaneers were armed with their own LGB’s and allowed to perform their own bombing missions which they did with no losses.

I thought it was just a rumor that frogs will lick the eyes right out of your skull!I'm now wondering how I taste like for the others XD
Y'know, it works the other way round too *licks you*

Hi Keefur!
Question...are cats hording bags and boxes of kitty litter, during this virus thing?

Not true. I'll send you all my used kitty litter to prove it.

I should play that and see how many wolves I can catch. What? You say that's not how it's played?

I've heard the wolves surround and catch really big prey, among the top prizes being Sabertooths. (On that note, what is the plural of Sabertooth? Saberteeth? Sabertooths?
)

Sabertooths is proper. I love when a pack of wolves shows up. It saves me the trouble of hunting them down.I've heard the wolves surround and catch really big prey, among the top prizes being Sabertooths. (On that note, what is the plural of Sabertooth? Saberteeth? Sabertooths?
Also, Sabertoofers is used by those who want to be eaten by a Sabertooth.

Well, that's ONE way to keep someone from tailgating you.I saw this car parked in the manager’s spot at Savings Skunk:

Too late! You definitely broke the car, it sure wasn't broken beforehand. Now, pay up!
