Sharp-Shooting Army Veteran Saves Bald Eagle Stuck Up A Tree[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I really miss Watterson, but he wanted to quit when he was on the top, and I guess he did just that.

Just saw an article: What is driving Wales' stunning Euro 2016 success? What do they have that other teams don't?
Isn't it obvious - they have sheep!!!
It is truly remarkable. A team didn't even qualified for nothing sine 1962 (44 years!)...

They also have the Wales Gene Park | Genome Editing and Transgenics[^].
(AKA Home of the vicious attack sheep  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Well, Kornfeld, I must say "baa" to the idea that the secret of the current Welsh soccer renaissance lays with in their sheep.
I think it's poetry; did you know that there has been an annual poetry/bard contest in Wales since the 12th. century (A.D. in the Christian calendar) ? [^].
cheers, Bill

England has sheep (the UK as a whole is the 8th most sheep populous country in the world) and it didn't do them much good. I think ewe is trying to ram in a bit of wooly thinking there.
The reason for Wales' success is much simpler. They've hit upon this weird and exotic tactic of scoring goals - too old school for all those modern coaches in other countries but there you go! Highest scorers in the tournament and the only team averaging 2 per game.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

You don't mean...
...no, it can't be that simple...
...more goals equals you win the game? 
Why did nobody tell the England manager that years ago?

Are you saying that the game is not all about complaining? Are you sure? There are any sources to support your theory?

So another thing[^] they have in common with the Icelanders.
Oh, BTW, the link is about Svið, so it might not be SFW if you have people with delicate stomachs around.

If it will be Wales vs Iceland a the final I will put up a big screen and server an all sheep dinner for all who come (a barbeque probably)...

Iceland basically does not have any trees, so I'll assume BBQs doesn't come that naturally for them.
