"A small rodent could hold the key to the Senate"

And they're NOT referring to Tommy Daschle!

("Sod poodle" indeed!)

[Redbob]

Good huntin' !

(What's your favorite weapon for dealing with sod poodles?
.220 Swift?
Voting booth?)

[<1/1,000,000th%]

You will find no reference to it in accounts of how General George Custer’s troops were massacred at the Battle of Little Bighorn, ...

Montana.

Question of the day: How many more prairie dogs than non-existant Lakota will vote for Daschle this year?

[sully777]

Does anyone have that old prairie dog hunting game that people e-mailed in the early 1990's?

[DSBull]

If they promise to rid Washington and South Dakota of Dashle, I promise to ride my Harley and spend my money proudly across that beautiful state.

"sod poodle"

Growing up with them in West Texas (Lubbock still has "Prarie Dog Town"...right next to the public golf course, which makes for some interesting shots), I never heard them called that. "Sod poodle" must refer to Tom Daschle. (S-O-B poodle works, too.)

[duffthor]

And you'll find no reference to it in the tales of the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor either.

I couldn't resist - it was hanging out there begging like a homeless person.

[Redbob]

So, putting "*bang_list" on it doesn't work anymore, and it's too late to insert a "keyword" - now what?

[DSBull]

Don't Lakota still exist? I thought they did, although not nearly has many, sadly.

[Redbob]

LOL!

But whatcha goin' to do fer a tagline?

[DSBull]

any reference to it contained within the tales of the great battles of Kerry in Cambodia[aka,the Christmas wars]....

[trebb]

The .220 Swift is great for all sorts of varmints - woodchuck for instance. Fast and flat...

[DSBull]

What about small little lurch-like creatures with inhabit the New England area...

[thingumbob]

"#$%^&*@( Prairie dogs!!!!.......didn't show up at the polls to vote for me."

"They promised they would if I put them on the "endangered" list.......What is the world coming to when dogs give you their word but then they don't carry out their promises?"

[Redbob]

" You will find no reference to it in accounts of how General George Custer’s troops were massacred..."

Ah, but I found exactly 47 mentions of "sod poodle" in Pierre LePhuque's definitive account of the defense of the Maginot Line!

[RandallFlagg]

Yer gonna love this!

Get the fishin' pole ready!

[CholeraJoe]

You will find no reference to it in accounts of how General George Custer’s troops were massacred at the Battle of Little Bighorn,

Psst, Mate. The Little Bighorn was in Montana.
