Tricky little fuckers

Chugging up through the mountains, a pack of hunters sit across the aisle from me, looking out for grizzly bears down in the canyon below.

The deer in these parts, they say, pointing out a pair of doe in the trees that I'd never have seen. Tricky little fuckers, every single one.

Yeah! I say, wiping the beer from my chin. Tricky little fuckers, all of 'em!

I feel vaguely guilty about calling an animal a 'little fucker'. You love animals! says my conscience. I ignore it though; put it down to my constant need to fit in.

You guys should come to Wales, I say, throwing out my arms. The deer in Wales? They're the trickiest little fuckers you've ever seen!

  1. So tricky it's like they're not even there.

  3. I have a horrific vision of plaid-clad, tobacco-chewing Billy Bobs striding butchly through the Rhondda valley with their assault rifles, shooting any sheep that moves, until Torchwood comes to the rescue.
