the glamourous life :p

[TdC]

is being called to work at 23:30 while relaxing on the couch and on the phone with a friend, and getting home at quarter past two. well, at least I actually *am* home o0

if only I had learnt to be a forester life would have been much nicer

 

[Uara]

Relaxing on the couch...........I think you should have been swaffling whilst on the phone, much more productive use of time!

 

[Will]

I've already swaffled his phone.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Still waiting for the elepahnt swaffling i was promised ages ago

 

[TdC]

yeah I know. workies is conspiring against me sadly.

 

[old.Tohtori]

yeah I know. workies is conspiring against me sadly.

I'm gonna come and kick your boss in the shin and go "let him swaffle the damn ellie!" soon

 

[TdC]

my boss is about 6'5" and looks and is built like a cage fighter. though he'd probably give me hell for not swaffling the elephant yet too :/

 

[Chilly]

and quite right too. lazy bast.

 

[TdC]

bahs

 

[Ch3tan]

yeah I know. workies is conspiring against me sadly.

lies!

You were on the couch, relaxing.

[TdC]

I was tired! I'd been out running with huskies all day! that takes it out of a man you know

I know this concept of going outside and doing physical stuff is unknown to some of you but I'm really giving it my best and this cuts into my nerd-time something awful

 

[Ch3tan]

But you were still lying to us.

 

[TdC]

pfft, I see it more as not telling you everything. I never said I was going to swaffle a real elephant you know. I'd need protection and might catch something nasteh

 

[Ch3tan]

But you haven't even got the balls to swaffle a fake elephant, you keep fobbing us off with lame excuses

 

[TdC]

oh, but the swaffling wasn't the problem, it's having the time to edit the film properly

 

[Yoni]

Just get the swaffling out of the way... you will feel much better for it I am sure.

As for work calling you out that is suckeh, but we all have our crosses to bear.. mine is having to get up and unthinkable times in the morning :|

 

[rynnor]

I'd been out running with huskies all day!

Huskies? Givf pics!

 

[TdC]

I actually have them. Gimme a sec to get them online

 

[Ch3tan]

I actually have them. Gimme a sec to get them online

If you get these up before the elephant vid, I will hurt you.

 

[TdC]

I had the elephant in my hands a minute a go. I will swaffle it yet

 

[TdC]

here you go Ryn: dogs? yes dawgs!

please forgive my shitty camera phone :/

 

[nath]

Huskies RULE. Love that their eyes are different colours.

 

[Yoni]

oh completely awesome.. im jealous

 

[rynnor]

here you go Ryn: dogs? yes dawgs!

please forgive my shitty camera phone :/

Awesome! I hope your brakes are good - I'd always be worried the dogs would see a rabbit or something and leave you in a hedge

 

[TdC]

my mate has three, and there is a number 4 planned. he wants to get a trike or quad and have the dogs do a proper team pull. as is, we train them with the things you can see in the pics, for commands eg mush, gee, hu and stop trying to get me killed you stupid fuckers.

the number three dog (not in the pics) is a Malamute, and is stronger but slower than the two speed demons there, though the dark one can pull about 6 times his own weight, meaning he can take me and the step up a slope with no problems at all

 

[TdC]

Awesome! I hope your brakes are good - I'd always be worried the dogs would see a rabbit or something and leave you in a hedge

brakes haha, what are these wondrous things you speak of? seriously though, the big quads and trikes have hydraulic or mechanical disk brakes and they *need* them! Ooh, from my personal experience, more than two dogs pulling something isn't going to stop easily. say you have six dogs pulling, and each can pull 6x it's own weight then that means ~150kg per dog times 6 so close to 1000kg worth of pull whereas I weigh 90 and a quad weighs about 40. stop, haha

these dogs are only half trained yet, but even now they completely focus on the run and the pull. they're working dogs, and live for this stuff. they need to do it, and it's just amazing to see them at work. completely awesome, and I'm a cat person donchaknow

 

[rynnor]

Where on earth do you find to run em? Unless you've moved to Canada -eh?

 

[TdC]

we have some large wooded areas around where I live that is ok, and two dogs can handle 90deg turns without much difficulty (the step drifts with the speed of it, which is awesome hehe)

also, the weather is hovering around 0C which is ok-ish for the beasties. we can run them up to around 10C though that is pushing it heatwise. Ideally it would be about -5 or less for them to have an optimal time on the run.

 

[Gil]

Health warning. The dangers of swaffling, may result in eye injuries.

 

[mr.Blacky]

I was more thinking TDC swaffled the dog and the dog (extreemly justified) bit him!
