Sabre Tooth Chihuahua. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

“Sabre Tooth Chihuahua. Be afraid. Be very afraid.”

Chihuahuasaurus, now that is terror.

Could it be the smarties are trying to read too much into the oversize dog-pot? Perhaps it’s a growler for taking home one’s beer ration, and who’d want a small one of those? OTOH, if chihuahuas were raised as food items, it would explain their universally nervous behavior...

the solution lies in the translation from the Spanish

We developed ankles because chihuahuas needed something to bite - evolution works that way dontyaknow...

There’s nothing to be read into the firsthand first contact accounts which describe the dogs. The “smarties” generally claim that the Euros were unable to distinguish a breed of dog from an opossum.

[ClearCase_guy]

I call Bull Creek on this theory.

[NewCenturions]

Their art is so primitive that you can’t tell what animal that is.

[ClearCase_guy]

I thought the same thing, actually. Certainly they used a lot of jaguar motifs. If the artist made a really bad jaguar, perhaps it would look like a Chihuahua.

[SunkenCiv]

The next morning, I found myself in that Indian camp all alone. But the Cheyenne, who call themselves the Human Beings, had no idea to hurt me. I was an honoured guest and they gave me a treat. Boiled dog. Dog ain't bad, neither. Greasy, I'll admit, but you'd be surprised how delicate the flavour is, especially when you're starving.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, but I’ll stick with the testimony of the first contact Euro accounts and the preponderance of evidence, namely the dog effigy pots common to both cultures.

[W.]

Wow, that IS smrt!

"Dog ain't bad, neither."

I wonder if the Contraries ate cat instead...
