Going on a Snipe hunt?
 

If you've ever been to camp, you've probably been on a snipe hunt... a search for the ever elusive creature that no camper can locate while the counselers sit back and giggle about their charges being sent on a wild goose chase in a dark.

Snipes are imaginary creatures? Right? Right?

Then I read this article: http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=1277782006

It discusses a guy who died while trying to get a rare egg out of a nest...

It goes on to say:

Back the train up - Snipe eggs?!? WTF? Apparently not. Snipes aren't imaginary at all. Learned something new!

A snipe is a type of bird.

But the animal of the nature supposedly hunted on snipe hunts is fictional.

Jackalopes are also real.

Yeah, there is one that lives in NA's backyard

There's also the bassalope...

Or my favorite, the jack-a-bass-a-lope

Go out and ask the campers next to us for a left handed smoke shifter and oh I could also use some sky hooks if they don't have any go to the next camp.

I snipe on eBay, does that count?

I've always wanted one! Actually, last night we had a baby opossum running around our backyard. The cats were entertained. They're sort of cute when they're small. Not as cute as a Jack-a-lope though.

not to mention the ever popular, albeit rarely seen felinus gigantus

:eek: :eek:
