Operation Poke, Day 9

after arriving in the wilderness, i managed to find a small oasis away from any wildlife and other predators. however, in only ten minutes i spotted that horrible terror known as the Pokel Beast. it entered the wilds and stopped to smell the wind, glancing around the other creatures and searching the area for it's prey. not spotting anything poke-able, it wandered down a well worn path to it's lair away from lair. i, being the trained explorer that i am, ducked and covered in the oasis and hoped that it hadn't seen me. the Pokel Beast is vicious when provoked, almost impossible to get rid of, and very easily injured. sending one mean look it's way may cause it to have a hernia and die. i do not believe in destroying the surrounding wildlife, no matter how annoying it may be.

anyway, the rest of the day i didn't spot the Pokel Beast or any of her minions. wait, that's not true. the PolyGamer was huddled down next to the planned entertainment at 11:45. it appeared to be absorbed in watching that most wondermous of games. the one, the only, Halo 2. however, i did not try to avoid this creature, for it doesn't cause any harm to any other wildlife (barring rocket launchers, of course). i approached the absorbed beasts, noting how they had managed a three way system link. like the Flood, they too seem to learn quickly.

over all, Day 9 was not a risky operation. Day 10 has the possibility though. Day 10 of Operation Poke begins at 7:30 AM CST on Tuesday, May 31. tune in next time to find out if i'm poked to death or if i manage to conquer the horrible Pokel Beast.
